Recent progress in Quaternary dating methods. Special issue
This volume of Quaternary Science Journal comprises a number of articles reviewing the present status of physical dating methods in Quaternary research, with a special focus on continental deposits and archaeological materials. The ten articles
Information flow ; Innovation ; Regional development ; Specialization
The paper tries to explore the socio-economic barriers of new developmental trajectories of regional specialization, innovations or information flows. It is presumed that structures and mechanisms developed originally to support regional
specialization or innovations dispersion during the path dependence process operate in a side-effect as socio-economic barriers, in analogy to the evolutionary process of speciation and especially to the concept of reproductive isolation mechanisms. - (EN)

The papers in this special issue represent recent advances in understanding debris flows that initiate by surface runoff and increase in volume through entrainment of sediment : 5 papers focus on debris flows in areas burned by wildfire, and 3
Représentation cartographique physiographique et trachographique de la surface de la terre solide en considérant spécialement l'activité de Erwin Raisz
The authors summarise a special cartographic method which is perfected by Erwin Raisz, the world-famous Hungarian-born American cartographer. The trachographic method is similar to his first attempt the physiographic map, but simpler: only
The possibility of the survival and development of life forms is closely related to the state of the abiotic environment. Therefore, research has to put a special emphasis on analysing and sustaining geodiversity because it is the basis
Park protection plan as well as within the student field training for Climatology and Atmosphere Protection specialization within the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies, University of Warsaw (in 2000-2002). Determined were characteristics
and special features of the regional climate, as well as differences in thermal and humidity conditions in the Park area. Knowledge of the local climate conditions constitutes an important component in assessment of the natural environment functioning
This special issue stems from the need to highlight the widespread misconceptions about climate science in general, and to present successful strategies from which we can learn as we strive toward a climate-literate citizenry. One of the challenges
. The disconnect between actual climate science knowledge and perceived knowledge is pervasive in nature and global in extent. This special issue is a timely one that captures the state of knowledge concerning climate literacy at a critical watershed moment.
