relating mass flux to friction speed the AA. will discuss how mass transport relates to the velocity observations and how sensitive the prediction will be to the choice of variables.
The aim of this paper is to highlight potential problems and to provide some recommendations on how best to use digital photogrammetry. This advice is developed further in the final section where it is explained how such software may be applied
The potentials of visionary representations are used in the example of the West German agglomeration Visionara, which shows how large city regions setting out on the way towards sustainable development could appear and function ten years from now

This paper will present a computer model of a certain class of agricultural systems, termed shifting cultivation systems. The objective of modeling is to demonstrate how such decision rules control overall system behaviour, and to study the response
Wheeler Ridge in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, California, is an anticlinal fold which has been progressively uplifted during the last 250 ka. This study first documents how drainage density has evolved through time on Wheeler Ridge
and discuss how their relative importance has changed. They also examine some of the changes occurring in the sediment as a result of post-depositional microbial activity.
In this thesis, research is described that begins to unravel the various determinants and underlying mechanisms of individual preferences in preferences for natural landscapes. It examines how people perceive and evaluate natural landscapes among
