This text gives a brief overview of the research work in the field of geographical marginality in Slovenia and presents some of the views and findings of the A. about geographical marginality and about marginal areas in Slovenia. The topic
Tectonic geomorphology of the Hikurangi margin : surface manifestations of different modes of subduction in The geomorphology of plate boundaries and active continental margins.

There are major changes in the tectonic geomorphology of the Hikurangi margin along its length. In the north all the typical forearc, arc and back arc elements occur| in the south there are no arc or backarc elements even though the subducted slab
Changes in ice-margin processes and sediment routing during ice-sheet advance across a marginal moraine
Advance of part of the margin of the Greenland ice sheet across a proglacial moraine ridge between 1968 and 2002 caused progressive changes in moraine morphology, basal ice formation, debris release, ice-marginal sediment storage, and sediment
Sustainable land management in marginal mountain areas of the Himalayan region
There is little arable land in the hills and mountains of the Himalayan region, where small, marginal farmers try to eke out a living. A new thinking advocates research in niche based sustainable production systems on marginal lands as part
of the effort to provide food security and sustainable livehoods for such marginal farmers. The International Centre for Integrated Mountains Development's (ICIMOD) afforestation strategies for degraded marginal areas are discussed, with reference to Sikkim

Marginality is a complex phenomenon resulting from the specific natural, economic as well as socio-cultural attributes of individual region. It includes impossibility of the population living in a given territory to integrate itself into the main
developmental trends. Transforming marginality into comparative advantage can be seen as one of promising ways to overcome it. As a region marginal from socio-economic percpective, but highly attractive as tourist destination, Šumava Mts were chosen as a model
The basal ice and debris sequence at the margin of an equatorial ice cap| El Cotopaxi, Ecuador
This paper describes the basal ice sequence observed at the margins of two glaciers descending from the ice cap of El Cotopaxi, an active volcano, and considers the implications of these observations for the understanding of basal ice processes

Equating the basal unconformity with the palaeoplain : a model for passive margins
Australia ; Continental margin ; Continental slope ; Drainage ; Fault ; Model ; Queensland ; Rift ; Subsidence ; Vertical movement
This paper considers the palaeoplain and the basal unconformity to be the same surface. It presents a hypothesis for continental passive margins that integrates the geomorphology near the continental boundary with the offshore geomorphology
. Onshore, the model explains the modifications of drainage and the great escarpments that are characteristic of passive margins.
Morphology, distribution and formation of relict marginal moraines in the Swedish mountains
The AA. present data on relict marginal moraine morphology and distribution in the Swedish mountains. These data are used to suggest formational conditions for the moraines and palaeoglaciological implications for the final part of the late
Weichselian deglaciation. To that end, they have mapped and classified 234 relict marginal moraines and 233 contemporary glacier moraines for comparison, providing the first comprehensive inventory of marginal moraines in the Swedish mountains.

The AA. focus on subglacially produced ice stream shear margin moraines, and provide a detailed description of their characteristics and dimensions. They concentrate on several moraines associated with the activity of M'Clintock Channel Ice Stream
which drained the northwestern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet around 10 000 years ago. This paper also explores their possible mode of formation.
Recording marginal glacial deposits by satellite imagery
Based on imagery and experiences from areas influenced by the last Scandinavian ice sheet (Weichsel), the potential use of satellites (Landsat) for imaging large-scale glacial accumulations, especially marginal deposits, is discussed. The ability
of satellite imagery to bring consistency in apparently disperse terrain elements and to visualize landscape systems because of its wide overview is pointed at. The possibility of getting information on marginal features in less known and remote areas
for detecting accumulation systems, or for making geomorphological comparison between marginal areas in different parts of a former glaciation, is illustrated with examples from the Verchojansk mountains and the Kola peninsula.
