Two distinguished Awards for MRD founding editor Jack D. Ives
In 2000, Jack D. Ives, MRD founding editor, received two awards from the Association of American Geographers (AAG). The AAG's Mountain Specialty Group bestowed the Distinguished Career Award on Jack for having enriched geographical research
of mountains for nearly half a century. The AAG's Geomorphology Specialty Group gave him the Melvin G. Marcus Distinguished Career Award for his extraordinary contributions to geomorphology ... as field researcher, institute director, mentor, author, editor
This article presents the results of a study carried out in the Puck Bay concerning the alterations of pore water chlorinity, pore water (O 18, D) isotope composition and near-bottom water salinity caused by groundwater seepage. The groundwater
isotopes in the interstitial water and thus gave evidence of freshwater seepage through the sea floor.
In this article the author presents the results of research, the main aim of which was to find out: - the sources of knowledge about Europe among Polish geography students: which university courses (according to the surveyed students) gave them best
-how and re-producing those ideas in the form of consumer goods and high-end technological devices - a result of the state´s “market for technology” strategy, which gave multinational companies market opportunities in return for technology transference

the significant scholarly attention it has attracted to date. The paper extends the critical focus, demonstrating that the remarkable appetite for knowledge of Livingstone and his travels at this time gave rise to a set of alternative accounts. While
The midden data suggest significant environmental and floristic changes in the White Mountain region. During the last 20,000 yr, cold conditions during the late Wisconsin glacial age gave way to a warm middle Holocene beginning ca. 8 000 yr B.P
The conference on environmental economic geography held in March 2001 in Cologne gave rise to this volume which contains a collection of articles dealing with environmental issues from an economic geography perspective. It gives an overview
Supported by the technologies of remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS), the AA. chose northwest of Beijing as a study area and gave priority to understanding of the spatial-temporal characteristics of landscape pattern change
An analysis of saltation data led the AA. to modify the theory of P.R. Owen using a soil-related parameter A that gave them the possibility of expressing limitation of sand grains of saltation-size in the underlying soil. The value of A was set
by the use of elevation, aspect, slope and vegetation as variables in the calculation of the SWE. Elevation and vegetation show a significant correlation with the SWE in the study area. The multiple regression gave best results for snow accumulation period
De mi-juin à fin juillet 1999, des saumons ont été suivis depuis leur entrée dans l'estuaire, où ils ont été capturés aux filets dérivants, jusqu'en partie haute de l'Adour et dans les Gaves Réunis. Deux méthodes de pistage, acoustique et radio, ont
Le but de cette article est de présenter les principaux résultats d'une campagne de mesures au sol effectuée en quasi-synchronisme avec le passage du satellite RADARSAT. Cette campagne s'inscrivait dans le cadre du projet ADRO (039) du laboratoire
