Livelihood strategies and assets of small farmers in the evaluation of soil and water management practices in the temperature inter-Andean valleys of Bolivia
Using a case study from the mid-Andean valleys of the Cochabamba Department of Bolivia, the A. examine the social and economic factors that influence household response to soil and water conservation technologies (SWC). They found that in less

The investigations of the Holocene environmental changes in the southern Upper Rhine Valley and the Black Forest concentrate on the time slices II (5500-3000 BC) and III (1500 BC - 500 AD) of the DFG (German Research Organization) research program
Deglaciation landforms are identified in 2 main valleys of the Polish High Tatra Mountains. Their character and distribution is parallelized with lacustrine sediments and deposits filling the dead-ice depression. Absolute dating and palynological
analyses allow for reconstruction of deglaciation conditions in Tatra valleys. Current knowledge has been confronted with J. PARTSCHs synthesis published in 1923. Recession stages have been also synchronized with deglaciation system in the Alps.

: the altitude of the summit parts well above the snow line, large extent of the summit surfaces of low relief and high degree of compactness of these surfaces as defined by their length:width ratio. The occurrence of initial depressions (valley heads) seems
Two catastrophic events, occurring simultaneously in the valley of Little Grassy Creek, allow for an examination of the threshold concept in geomorphology. Movement of debris associated with failure and sliding of valley-side material, caused
The morphological consequences of paraglacial modification of valley-side drift slopes are investigated at 6 sites in Norway. Here, paraglacial slope adjustment operates primarily through the development of gully systems, whereby glacigenic sediment
The aim of this study is to describe the gross morphology of the joint-aligned valley landscape, trace the sub-Cambrian peneplain as far as possible in the summits, ascertain the present elevated areas and investigate the cause of fragmentation
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
