This progress report reviews how the understanding of environmental dynamics over extended time periods is now incorporated into science dealing with predictions of future climate change by the IPCC consortium, how possible analogues for a warmer
With the analysis of towns in Slovenia a classification, which elaborates the social and economic characteristics, was established. It was determined that it is possible to form eight socio-economic settlement types. Slovene urban system is dynamic
The article introduces spatial dependence in a continuous-time modeling framework. The structural equation model with spatial dependence is the first dynamic one. A simple regional labor market model for Germany is illustrated, comprising changes
the landscape elements comprising geodiversity requires a dynamic approach to their management and conservation, with attention to their sensitivities to changes in climate, weather patterns and land management. Geodiversity is dependent on the scale of enquiry
(raindrop impact detachment, overland flow entrainment, and diffusive processes) and channel (erosion and deposition due to the action of water flow). In addition to the spatially distributed, dynamic hydrologic variables, the model computes the sediment
transport discharge and changes in elevation, which feedback to hydrological dynamics through local changes of terrain slope, aspect, and drainage network configuration. The model was calibrated for the Lucky Hills basin, a semi-arid watershed in the Walnut
