The present paper summarizes the main results obtained, with special emphasis on the dynamics of a little badland area which seems to supply roughly 14 kg per square meter and year of silty sediment, with marked differences between summer
and the rest of the year. Finally, a summary of forthcoming work is given, which comprises the instrumentation of some little basins with stream, rain and sediment concentration gauges, and some rather inexpensive instruments.
In this paper the Holocene glacial record, as inferred from the radiocarbon-dated section with alternating minerogenic and organic sediments beyond the maximum Little Ice Age marginal position of Blaisen, is described and discussed in relation
The area is situated in the ice-divide region and comparatively little affected by glacial erosion. The surface corresponding to the summits of the hills is interpreted as formed by denudation of a Mesozoic plain when it was raised in mid-Tertiary
Ice avalanches were more common and more widely distributed during and immediately after the Little Ice Age. As glaciers and the threat of ice avalanching have receded in the twentieth century, the potential for debris flows from moraine-dammed
D'après les résultats de deux diagrammes polliniques, reconstitution de l'histoire de la végétation dans les régions de drainage des rivières Black et Little Black dans le nord-est de l'Alaska. L'hypothèse d'une toundra en mosaïque, il y a plus de
Analysis of observational and proxy forms of evidence of climatic change especially in the Alps and the Rocky Mountains for three time scales : late glacial maximum (ca 18 000 B.P.)| little ice age (ca A. D. 1550-1850)| and recent, the last based
the system variables are inquired into. It is shown that some controlling factors, such as the lithology and structure of the rocks involved, the direction of the dip, or the mode of production and transport of debris, have been paid too little attention
Chronozone. The processes may have been most active during the peak of the Little Ice Age, during which a periglacial climate was established to low levels in this mountainous region.
Features of moraines and their sediments were recorded at three glaciers at the northwestern part of the island. They indicated that in these glaciers basal movement has little erosive effect. Erosion with up-transport of debris occurs mainly
The amount of fine fraction given by frost shattering depends on the facies: chalk, marls, clayey limestones argillites and weathered rocks yield a large volume| massive limestones, sandstones, schists and slightly weathered granites furnish little
Detailed measurement of slope profiles in the terrace-front valleys of south Taranaki demonstrates very little change in mean slope angle up to 300,000 years. This paper also tests a modified version of the model of Chappell (1974) using these slope
Solar activity cannot be disregarded as a possible external cause of the Little Ice Age and the 20th century climatic warming. Climatic responses to the 11-and 22-year solar cycles, although relatively weak are in evidence. Further (case-) studies
Present distribution of calcareous Basse Provence's landscape has only been settled at the end of the boreal time and during the atlantic time. The climatic climax vegetation, which included garrigues were little influenced by men. Since, all
population may be of little value in interpreting vegetation stability and change reflected by fossil pollen stratigraphy. The physical isolation of pollen embedded in the local mountain-valley wind system from that in the prevailing westerlies may explain
this cooling and the recent decrease in precipitation in peninsular Florida. This phenomenon tends to support the hypothesis of a return to cooler and drier conditions, perhaps, similar to those prevailing during the Little Ice Age.
