, and homogeneity. Even though the community has experienced dramatic changes in the last fifty years, the A. argues that the physical, cultural, and political geography of Ocean Grove has served to perpetuate this ideology.
Sequoiadendron gigantea, the world's largest tree by volume, occurs in 75 groves along the western slope of California's Sierra Nevada. This essay focuses on their management since 1890 by four different agencies. Some groves are still logged

En juillet 1978, le village de Soldiers Grove dans le Wisconsin a été inondé. Cet article compare le coût du rétablissement du quartier des affaires dans son site initial et le prix qu'aurait coûté une protection contre cette inondation. (P
Rock varnish, erosional grooves, and well-developed cavernous weathering phenomena occur in close association on a small biotite-monzogranite nunatak in the Northern Foothills region, Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The grooves, similar
The history of the most impressive grove of giant sequoia trees is a mirror for the evolution of science, conservation and public attitude in the USA. - (DWG)
The purpose of the ventifact research is 1) to determine the geographic distribution of ventifacts within the region and to understand the causes of the distribution; 2) to map the alignment of grooves in ventifacts and to compare these trends
with the present-day wind regime; and 3) to assess the aeolian history of the region by assigning absolute and relative ages to the ventifacts through an examination of surface micromorphology and by dating the rock varnish. Given a distribution of mapped grooves
The grooves on karstic surfaces are grouped as 1. those on overhangs, 2. on bed outcrops and 3. on bedding planes. Their special properties, geometry, evolution and destruction are outlined and conclusions on general geomorphic evolution of the area
