Le rappresentazioni cartografiche di Mauritius nei secoli XVI, XVII e XVIII
Après avoir traité brièvement le problème de la localisation de Mauritius sur les cartes portugaises du XVI siècle, l'A. s'arrête à examiner les représentations cartographiques les plus détaillées de cette île, exécutées par les Hollandais, les
Einflüsse der Landnutzung auf die Gewässerqualität des Grand River North West (GRNW) (Mauritius)
Mauritius ; Water ; Water pollution ; Water quality ; Water use
The rapid economical and social processing on Mauritius has forced an enormous pollution. Especially rivers and lakes have been contaminated and because of that also in the lagoons and riffs in front of the island are affected. The main polluters
Erosion modelling and soil loss prediction under changing land use for a catchment in Mauritius
Agricultural land use ; Diversification ; Erosion rate ; Land use ; Mauritius ; Model ; Soil erosion ; Sugar cane ; Watershed
Sugar cane cultivation is the dominant form of agriculture on Mauritius, but the industry is facing increasing financial constraints that will probably lead to greater diversity in land use. Soil erosion models were tested for two alternative crops
Vulkaninseln als Modelle tropischer Reliefgenese. Dargestellt am Beispiel von Hawaii, La Réunion und Mauritius (Les îles volcaniques comme modèle de la genèse des reliefs tropicaux. Exemple de Hawaii, de La Réunion et de l'île Maurice)
The remote Mascarene island of Rodrigues, administered from Mauritius, has been largely transformed in the 300 years since human settlement began there. - (DWG)

Using Mauritius as a case study, the value of high-resolution data versus long-term totals in erosivity calculations is investigated. Rainfall data between 2003 and 2008 from automated weather stations at 4 locations ( 2 on the west coast : Albion
through annual and monthly rainfall totals, substantially higher erosivity than the Erosivity Index (EI) method was calculated in both regions. This stems from the large amount of non-erosive rainfall that is generated on Mauritius. The AA. suggest

The effects of change in land use on the hydrological regimes of three small basins in Mauritius in The influence of Man on the hydrological regime with special reference to representative and experimental basins.
The linear relationship found between the surface area of the three islands of the Mascarene Archipelago (Réunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues) and the species richness of native bats birds and reptiles agrees with the predictions of the theory

On Mauritius, erosive storm events are found to differ markedly between the coastal lowlands and the elevated interior with regard to the frequency, the total rainfall generated, the duration, total kinetic energy, and total erosivity of individual
