The hypothesis that the late Holocene climate of northern Australia has been characterised by periods of reduced rainfall has been examined by constructing a detailed chronostratigraphy of climatically sensitive geomorphological sites, in particular
dunefields and lake deposits. This paper reviews the results of a synoptic evaluation of river mouth and aeolian depositional histories across northern Australia.

This paper examines downstream channel changes along moderate to large (up to 300 km long) rivers which drain the Northern Plains of arid central Australia. It aims to document downstream changes in channel morphology; to relate these downstream
changes to likely controlling factors; and to compare the downstream changes along the Northern Plain rivers with trends shown by other dryland rivers.

This paper examined the characteristics of tide-dominated mangrove shorelines in northern Australia, and suggests a framework, based upon morphodynamics, within which to view their response to a rise in sea level. Within this paper the response
The purpose of this paper is to describe sediments within a pan in northern Australia, where the geomorphological history is known and where water analyses have established the nature of the contemporary processes. The target was to examine in what

was then used to make independent predictions of the landform geomorphology of the study site. The catchment, located in the NorthernTerritory, is relatively untouched by Europeans so the hydrological and erosion processes that shaped the area can be assumed

In the last decade in Northern Italy emerged the political phenomenon of autonomist parties, in particular the most successful of them : the Lega Nord. The problem is to determine the most significant elements and which factors have the greatest
