Valley asymmetry with steeper west-facing valley sides is a common feature in the Tertiary Hills of Lower Bavaria. The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between this drainage and valley asymmetry and to review the possible causes
This paper presents the state of knowledge on the evolution of river valleys in the Upper Quaternary. It is followed by full index of localisations, where dated Vistulian and Holocene sediments were found. The transformation of river valleys
Vyvoj udoli a kvartérni tektonika Hlucinské pahorkatiny. (Valley development and Quaternary tectonics in the Hlucinska pahorkatina) (hilly land)
Dells, dry valleys, river valleys, cryopediments as well as valley asymmetry are described in the model area of Pleistocene deposits. Special attention is devoted to the role of Quaternary tectonics in valley development. The hilly land of Hlucin

The Central Valley, California's richest agricultural region, does not correspond to romantic pastoral ideals perpetuated by American high culture. The A. describes its special character as photographers have seen it and finds in its utilitarian
Some aspects of valley asymmetry in the high Drakensberg
Earth surface processes ; High mountain ; Mass movement ; Mountain ; Palaeoclimatology ; Periglacial features ; Slope ; Slope gradient ; South Africa ; Valley
Valley asymmetry at high altitudes in the Drakensberg may be the result of periglacial processes. A tentative hypothesis is presented. - (AJC)
On the mathematical description of glaciated valley cross sections
Geomorphometry ; Glacial erosion ; Glacial features ; Methodology ; Valley
The AA. examine implicit bias in power-law equation analyses introduced by the use of logarithmic data transformations, and discuss problems associated with cases where part of the original erosional form of the glacial channel or glacial valley has
Examination of seasonal pastoral migrations to alpine pastures in a valley of the northwestern Himalaya shows that increases in human population and livestock numbers are putting severe pressures on the traditional agropastoral system. - (DWG)
Population change in the upper Braldu Valley, Baltistan, 1900-1990: all is not as it seems
Demographic change ; Demographic structure ; Depopulation ; Himalaya ; Infant mortality ; Karokoram ; Local economy ; Mountain ; Pakistan ; Valley ; Village
Due mainly to high child mortality, population in the upper Braldu valley of the Karakoram range in northern Pakistan declined between 1900 and 1990. This trend is counter to the growth elsewhere in the Himalayan region. - (DWG)
Sediment transport in a proglacial valley, Sermilik, East Greenland
Climatic variation ; Cold area ; Glacial features ; Greenland ; Hydrology ; Model ; Sediment transport ; Valley
Detailed investigations of sediment transport have been carried out in a proglacial valley at the Mitdluagkat Glacier in East Greenland. The results from 1989, 1990 and 1991 have been compared with earlier measurements of sediment transport
Late Wisconsin groundwater discharge environments of the southwestern Indian Springs Valley, southern Nevada
This report presents the results of a comparative study of the sedimentologic and faunal evidence from late Wisconsin sediments in the Indian Springs Valley and existing groundwater discharge environments of the Steptoe and Butte Valleys
Valley modification by sapping processes in southern Indiana
Valley form varies throughout the study area. The region is too small to have any climatic variances, nor is the vegetation significantly different. These valley forms are primarily a function of lithologic discontinuities, structure, and multiple
Carpathians ; Czechoslovakia ; Drainage network ; Geomorphogenesis ; Mountain ; Pleistocene ; Typology ; Valley ; Valley floor evolution
There exist two systems of valleys. The subsequent system, based on a flat central ridge, disturbed the older, more extensive net of consequent valleys by numerous piracies. This development took place mainly during the Pleistocene. - (MS)
