Detailed geomorphological mapping, supplemented by lichenometric datings and lacustrine sediment studies, shows that debris flow activity on the high-mountain Tatra slopes/South Poland/increased in both frequency and occurrence as well as magnitude
Essay on the socio-cultural background of Ethiopia which has historically favored mountain living, but which also resulted in soil erosion and disruption of the hydrological cycle. According to A., reduction in agricultural productivity led
Ten distinctive mountain geomorphic systems, identified on the basis of structural elements and spatial scale, are considered. Questions and approaches to measurement programmes that are most appropriate to each system are discussed with the aid
From autarky to dependency : society and habitat relations in the South Asian mountain rimland in Proceedings of the Conference on the transformation of mountain environments (TOME), part two.
Three different mountain communities - Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist - in the Hindukush, Himalaya and Trans-Himalaya are compared to understand their cultural-ecological commonalities and economic options. It is land and water use, not the biophysical
Climate change and glacier fluctuations in the southern mountains of the USSR during the last 1 000 years in Proceedings of the Conference on the transformation of mountain environments (TOME), part two.
Using lichen indicators and dendrochronology, glaciers in the Tien Shan, Altai and Caucasus Mountains show evidence of small fluctuations in the past 200 years, but synchrony among the three ranges is not clearly defined. - (DWG)
This paper reports a reconnaissance of the geomorphology and Quaternary sediments of the Nam Khong basin both above ground and in karst cave systems in an effort shed more light on the evolution of the mountain landscape and past environments

A growth curve for Rhizocarpon lichens has been constructed for a valley in the Polish High Tatra Mountains. Monuments and buildings of known age have been used as measurement sites for the lichen sizes. These datings show that most
