Les Açores sont un hotspot de biodiversité, mais les recherches internationales en biodiversité n'en tiennent pas compte. La biodiversité considérable des Açores n'est pas menacée par la pression humaine, comme aux Canaries, mais se posent des

Hotspots of traditional cultural landscapes in Europe can be found in locations which meet a specific set of characteristics. These characteristics were defined in a study based on literature review, content analysis and two case studies conducted
in peripheral regions of Europe. The preconditions for hotspots of traditional cultural landscapes seem to be geographic, economic, infrastructural and political isolation, marginal agricultural land and often a population that differs from the surrounding
that nowadays help to preserve them as islands or hotspots in a globalized, and increasingly more uniform world. Finding and monitoring these traditional cultural landscape hotspots in Europe is the first prerequisite for systematically studying and eventually
The hotspot - a new technology, but is it also a new, geographical face of the Internet ?
Les AA. analysent la distribution spatiale des hotspots (l'accès à l'Internet sans fil) en Pologne. Ils étudient les structures des lieux ainsi que leur diversité spatiale. Ils expliquent que ces lieux reflètent les réalités socio-économiques du

Identifying hotspots of rip current activity using wavelet analysis at Pensacola Beach, Florida
As shown in a number of recent studies, the nearshore bar morphology at Pensacola Beach varies alongshore in response to a ridge and swale bathymetry on the inner-shelf, creating hotspots of rip current activity. However, it remains unclear whether
these recently identified hotspots were present before Hurricane Ivan and if the development of the rip system is a response to the bar cycle. Wavelet analysis of aerial and satellite imagery from 1951 to 2004 was used to quantify the alongshore variation in bar
statistic that quantifies hotspot areas of fire risk has been used to identify statistically significant fire clusters during the ten-year time period. To assess the causative factors of fires, topographic, vegetation, climatic, anthropogenic
and accessibility factors were used in a multivariate statistical framework. Results suggested a clear variation in hotspots of fire occurences among districts.
Present-day tectonic concepts of events on the western paleo-Pacific lithosphere must be assessed relative to new data. Three problems, fracture zones versus transform faults, the formation of fracture zones, and hotspots versus leaky fracture zones
