to the concept of polarisation of space as a central theoretical point of departure in studying peripheral areas. In the second section, attention is directed at defining the terms marginality/ peripherality and marginal/peripheral areas. - (EN)
The aim of this paper is to analyse landforms and fault patterns in the Kobberminebugt-Qaqortoq area corresponding to a left-lateral step on the south-west margin of Greenland. By identifying and mapping stepped landforms, morphostructural patterns
Expansion rate and geometry of floating vegetation mats on the margins of thermokarst lakes, northern Seward Peninsula, Alaska, USA
Investigations on the northern Seward Peninsula in Alaska identified zones of recent permafrost collapse that led to the formation of floating vegetation mats along thermokarst lake margins. This paper reports on the recent expansion
Dinosaur tracks in a marginal marine environment : the Coste dell’Anglone ichnosite (Early Jurassic, Trento Platform, NE Italy)
deposited in a marginal area of the Trento carbonate Platform, which has so far been considered fully marine (subtidal) in origin. The Coste dell’Anglone outcrop represents one of the most extensive Early Jurassic dinosaur tracksites in the Southern Alps
The first progress reports on transport geography indicate how the field has been relatively marginal to broader disciplinary debates. Meanwhile, a literature on mobilities has developed. A review of otherwise largely distinct field reminds us how

focused on the spatial congruence of new initiation zones and potentially marginal permafrost, which should be especially sensitive to climatic change and is presumed to be currently degrading. The results show that distinct changes in the spatial position
of debris flow initiation areas mainly occurred at elevations above this marginal zone. Consequently, the changes detected in debris flow activity do not appear to have been influenced by atmospheric warming-induced degradation of permafrost. However, a link
The political regime in Myanmar used to be a seemingly monopolistic structure where power was exclusively in the Army’s hands. A marginal external influence was exercised by businessmen with close ties to the regime while the country was also
actors are seeking to cope with the shortcomings of the economic and political system. Over the last 15 years, NGOs have been exploring the margins of the army’s monopoly. They have become the experts of the ‘politics of silence,’ attempting to influence

As a consequence of marginalization of its rural areas, the Lublin region has undergone insignificant modification of nature and, additionally, of its high-quality landscape. The landscape is of great importance to most of local inhabitants
in land use/ground cover. In addition to other factors, land use also depends on the soil properties. This article deals with the connection between soil distribution and land use in the Mislinja Valley with its hilly margins. - (IKR)

A regional model is developed where, in the city, unemployment prevails because of too high (efficiency) wages, while, in the rural area, workers are paid at their marginal productivity. The steady-state equilibrium is characterized and it is shown
Carbonate platforms bordering the Tethyan margins carry a distinct periodic signal that can be related to Jurassic-Cretaceous climate and eustatism. They yield a rich archive of information, including the tectonics affecting the platforms
permafrost, marginal permafrost and deep seasonal frost. Ongoing permafrost degradation is suggested both by direct temperature monitoring and indirect geophysical surveys. Increased snow depths and an increase in winter air temperatures appear to be the most
