A. considers water deficiency to be the defining characteristic of the American West, and he thinks it starts with the Great Plains immediately to the west of the Missouri river in South Dakota. The Black Hill's physiography, biogeography
, settlement and gold mining days, and tourism and recreation are covered. He concludes that the Black Hills is increasingly finding an economic identity associated with the New West (tourism, recreation, and retirees). - (SLD)
Holocene dune-sourced alluvial fans in the Nebraska Sand Hills
The aim of this study is to characterize the alluvial fans of the Nebraska Sand Hills, to provide a complete description of the deposits and source area, and to interpret the history and processes of their deposition. The AA. will show that local
The role of cryptogams in runoff and erosion control on bariland in the Nepal Middle Hills of the southern Himalaya
The aims of this study are to evaluate soil losses under different groundcover types, including cryptogam cover, that are prevalent under maize on bariland in the Nepal Middle Hills during the monsoon, and to account for any observed differences
Soil loss on noncultivated land in the Middle Hills of Nepal
This paper reports soil losses from 15 erosion plots in the Middle Hills, Nepal, for the 1992 and 1993 monsoon and pre-monsoon seasons. In total, 912 rainfall events were monitored. Land cover varied from grassland and relatively undisturbed mixed
This paper examines the case of Fountain Hills, a residential area near Phoenix, Arizona, as an example of urban impacts on a representative ephemeral channel in a dryland environment. Three specific questions are addressed : how has urbanization
affected stream channels in Fountain hills ? Are stream channel adjustments similar to those found in urbanized humid temperate environments ? Do particular management implications arise in the case of dryland urban river channels ?
Early Holocene sediments from a continental Antarctic lake (Ace Lake, Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica) contained abundant fosil rotifers of the genus Notholca. The fossil is similar to specimens of Notholca sp. present in modern-day Ace Lake
and other fresh and brackish lakes of the Vestfold Hills. Cyanobacteria and protists were also recovered from the core samples. The occurrence of this trophically diverse assemblage of organisms at an early stage in the evolution of the lake suggests either
An analysis of rock landforms in the NW part of the Hostýn Hills. Periglacial and land forms are formed in the Pleistocene and in the Holocene, in the relationship among rock landforms, geological and climate conditions in the Rusavská hornatina Mts
Late 18th century drought-induced sand dune activity, Great Sand Hills, Saskatchewan
Des preuves géomorphologiques et des âges optiques de 7 emplacements indiquent qu'il y eut une activité généralisée des dunes au cours des 200 dernières années dans la région de Great Sand Hills au sud de la Saskatchewan. La cause la plus probable
Thirty-five sand hills that form six scattered groups rise abruptly from the flat late Pleistocene coastal plain in southeastern Louisiana. New studies confirm their eolian origin. Recently acquired thermoluminescence (TL) ages for the dunes provide
Etude comparée de la vie des classes moyennes dans deux quartiers du sud de Londres (Brixton et Telegraph Hill). Présentation d'un modèle en trois parties, basé sur le travail de Savage. Hypothèse que chaque groupe social a tendance à vivre dans un
