Conflict resolution in environmental management: the Newport powerstation controversy
The decision to build a one thousand megawatt powerstation at Newport, Melbourne, in 1971 triggered an unprecedented reaction in the State of Victoria. Kasperson's model of municipal stress management is used as a framework to describe

Thresholds and the spatial variability of flood power during extreme floods
This paper analyzes the variation in flood power both at-a-station and downstream in a basin of differing lithologies, and discusses the geologic and geomorphic controls on flood power. Floodplain width influences these local and general controls
, and will directly and indirectly control flood power within the drainage network through its control on the rates of change of several hydraulic variables during discharge increases.

The paper examines the expanding administrative use of the hill stations from the early nineteenth century through the 1880s. Conflicting srategies and practices for maintaining imperial control required mediation and contrasting frameworks
for defining duty and loyalty between government and subject vied for dominance. The significance of Utilitarian thought, changing appraisals of climate and constructions of race are evaluated in an analysis of the imperial hill stations.
