Estimating land cover-induced increases in daytime summer temperatures near Mt. Adams, Washington
The AA. present an approach for developing a land cover-induced daytime-high-temperature model in an activelly and historically logged terrain west of Mount Adams, Washington, by combining field data of near surface temperatures in young-regrowth
. The model of near-surface temperatures and the temperature differences due to land cover change is discussed in the context of the pootential effects on recent changes in the geometry of Cascades glaciers.
The thermal regime of permafrost and its susceptibility to degradation in upland terrain near Inuvik, N.W.T.
In this paper, the AA. report permafrost temperatures from south of treeline in the upland, open-canopy, boreal forest near Inuvik. The aims are to : 1) define the thickness and annual thermal regime of permafrost in the Inuvik area; 2) examine
Near-surface ground-ice distribution, Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Western Arctic Coast, Canada
The variation in near-surface ground-ice content of the uppermost 1 m of permafrost was examined by drilling 71 sites within the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary of the outer Mackenzie Delta, Northwest Territories. The primary aims of the research were
: 1) to characterise near-surface ground-ice conditions by terrain type; 2) to investigate the geomorphological controls on ground-ice development; and 3) to estimate, for alluvial wetlands, the combined effect of potential subsidence from ground-ice
Dendroecological analysis of spruce budworm outbreaks and their relation to climate near the prairie-forest border in northwestern Minnesota
The AA. investigate the effects of spruce budworm on tree growth at 5 areas within Itasca State Park in northwestern Minnesota near the southwestern margin of the range of balsam. They also document the species composition and age structure along
Estimating the extent of near-surface permafrost using remote sensing, Mackenzie Delta, Northwest Territories
The extent of near-surface permafrost, or perennially frozen ground within 3 m of the surface, was estimated for the Mackenzie River delta by determining its association with riparian vegetation communities in the field, and by subsequently mapping
Drawing upon the case of Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre, a facility for the incarceration of immigration deportees near Oxford, the paper makes the case that the way asylum seekers are moved between detention centres within the UK has
. The prolonged monitoring shows a slow but steady deterioration of water quality for both streams. The unfavourable tendency can only be stopped by reducing pollution near the sources and on the catchment. - (AM)
The Land Surface Temperature (LST) products of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS) aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites were used to develop maps of annual near-surface temperatures for comparison with the spatial
Québec and Labrador. The maps show the expected geographic distribution of near-surface temperatures and acceptably represent known permafrost boundaries. Ongoing efforts to incorporate snow and vegetation cover from complementary remotely sensed data
Silbury Hill, near Marlborough, is one of the largest prehistoric mounds in Europe, characterised by uncertain structure and unusual burial conditions. Internal collapses occurred in autumn 2000 as a result of the incomplete refilling of tunnels dug
in the control of soil erosion as well in its restoration. The study was carried out from October 2003 to October 2006 near Seville (Guadalquivir Valley, Andalusia, Spain). Methods, results and discussion.

as a fault-driven basement fold linked to low-angle eastward subduction of the Nazca plate beneath South America; the diapiric model implies instead that deformation is powered by regional compression from west-verging, near-surface, crustal shortening which

This paper describes 3 new boreholes (1.6, 15 and 25 m deep) that were drilled and instrumented in 2008 on the top of Mount Reina Sofia near the Spanish Antarctic station on Livingston Island, South Shetland archipelago. Because these boreholes
