Building in Israel throughout the Ages -one cause for the destruction of the cedar forest of the Near East
The aim of this paper is to present the use of cedar wood in the buildings in one particular area-Israel, throughout the ages, which can represent general cause for the deforestation of the cedar forests of the Levant. The contribution of this paper
The Dead Sea is surrounded by chemical and detrital sediments that where deposited in its larger precursor lakes, Lake Samra and Lake Lisan. The sedimentary history of these lakes was reconstructed by means of 230Th/234 U ages of 30 samples
. The general validity of the ages was demonstrated by subjecting them to tests of internal isotopic consistency, agreement with stratigraphic order, and concordance with 14C ages.
Gullying and the age of badlands: an application of the erosional susceptibility model Es
badlands the latter operation yields a minimal age between 2,700 and 40,000 years which dates badlands in this belt back eventually to Upper Pleistocene times. Therefore, this application of the Es model is offered as a contribution to the still ongoing
discussion on the origin of badlands and their age.

Criteria for the recognition of palaeofloods were developed on the basis of the major 1987 flood. Superfloods in the Little Ice Age are suggested. - (AJC)

The AA. use family-status life tables to assess the effects of changes in demographic processes (sharp decline in fertility and mortality, aging population) on the family status of elderly women and to project trends in elderly women's family status.

The extensive occurrence of glacier ice cores to landforms and deposits of the Neoglacial and Little Ice Age periods in the St Elias Mountains of the Southwest Yukon is described.

The AA. examine the effect of women's marriage opportunities on nonmarital fertility rates and ratios across 75 U.S. metropolitan areas. They measure the quantity and « quality » of marriageable men simultaneously specific for women's age, race
The purpose of this paper is to examine the age of the dunes of the Simpson Desert, and from this data to evaluate theories of their asymmetry, possible direction and rate of lateral migration and whether they undergo colouration with age.
