. Among the problems discussed are how to make good a deficiency of land structure, how to deal with limited natural resources for modern farming, and how to hinder deepening of regional differentiation in the economic development of Slovenia, which
Rock coast morphology in relation to lithology and wave exposure, Lord Howe Island, southwest Pacific
. ont étudié les îles Lord Howe, dans la mer de Tasman, afin de différencier les rôles de la résistance des roches et de l'exposition aux vagues. Il y a un récif frangeant et un lagon sur une portion du littoral occidental. Le récif atténue nettement
How alcohol-related crashes of different severity interrelate and respond to local spatial characteristics : an evaluation of a common site sales ban on alcohol and gasoline
This study aimed at determining the rate of sedimentation in the Opa Reservoir since impoundment in 1978 with a view to ascertaining how much of its volume has been silted up. The study highlights the need for frequent bathymetric surveys
, especially after large floods, to provide more information on the magnitude of annual sedimentation, and to help planners determine how to prolong the life of reservoirs. - (AJC)
enormous problems of the public utility in the whole region between the North Sea and the Mediterranean. The city of Mainz at the river Rhine is taken as an example to show how the catastrophe developed and how the people of Mainz experienced this event
This paper details how an important flood property, the hydraulic resistance, varies around the uplifted limestone area of south-central Texas known as the Texas Hill Country, and how this variation could translate to inaccuracy in floodplain
The AA. consider the importance of the lithosphere flexural strength on the isostatic response of the system to erosion. Using a numerical method to solve the heat transport equation in 3 dimensions, the AA. show how a synthetic age distribution can
be computed and how it is affected by their assumption about the isostatic response of the lithosphere to surface unloading. The AA. then investigate whether the age distribution is sensitive to the assumed erosional response time. Finally they use
The AA. describe how measurements of the cosmic-ray-produced radionuclides Be 10 and Al 26 in alluvial sediment can be used to develop a continuous record of erosion rate changes through time. The AA. illustrate the method, and evaluate its
uncertainty and thus usefulness in realistic situations, with an example from a middle Pleistocene alluvial section in Fisher Valley, Utah. Finally, they suggest how it might best be employed in future to answer questions about the relationship of climate
The AA. give a brief synthesis of the information obtainable from remote-sensing data and how it can be related to 2 significant functions of catchment hydrology, namely, the processes of production and transfer. After presenting examples
of the type of information that can be derived from remote sensing (characterisation of soil surface by different wavelengths, temporal changes of surface states, incision and geometry of possible water pathways on the surface, etc.), they examine how
. This paper examines how adopting a constructivist approach to the module's curriculum enabled learners to develop geographical skills at the same time as Africanising the curriculum. - (AJC)
After a brief review of the disciplinary nature of geocryology and periglacial geomorphology, this paper discusses how and why North American periglacial geomorphology has shifted toward the discipline of geocryology.
The paper gives a survey of the articles concerning the use of photography in school teaching as they appeared in the journal of the Italian Geography Teachers Association (AIIG). In particular, it shows how the evolution of geography
