Monitoring the world's glaciers The present situation
A review is given of the historic development of the Permanent Service of Fluctuations of Glaciers started in 1968 and the World Glacier Inventory started in 1975. The present situation is discussed in some detail and suggestions are presented
Modern presentation of the natural environment of Poland by team of more than 25 experts. The first part present the paleogeographic roots of present-day environment, the second describe the today resources and processes (including the human impact
), the third presents the typological characteristic and regional division of the Polish territory. - (DG)
Some methods for erosion processes research in geography are presented. Presented are methods for sediment production research as well as for the research of sediment yield. Presented are possibilities of the use of historical sources (written
, cartographic and material) and literature. Presented are also employabilty's of erosion models and different methods of measurement for the erosion processes research. - (IKR)
A Foldkozi-tenger geologiai multja, jelene és jovoje. (The geological past, present and future of the Mediterranean sea)
The Mediterranean sea, a remainder of the Tethys is still at present in a narrowing, dying phase because of the continuous approachement of Africa to Europe. (CK).
Les Télécommunications au présent: situation et perspectives Rhône-Alpes
Un dossier abondamment illustré et remarquablement présenté sur l'état actuel et la perspective de mutation des télécommunications dans la région. (M. G. Durand).
The article presents a location planning approach which addresses the issues of impact dispersion and regional equity in the context of undesirable facilities. A number of specific modeling approaches for addressing this problem are introduced
. Application results are presented which demonstrate the modeling characteristics of the presented planning models.
The present study adresses to the questions how the shoreface-connected ridges along the central part of the Dutch coast were formed and what their behaviour is under the present hydrodynamic conditions. The study is based on field observations
and model computations. The field observations focus on the present hydrodynamic and sediment transport processes, on the resulting morphological and sedimentological response, and on the geologic evolution of the ridges. - (AGD)
