Spatial variability of rainfall on a sub-kilometre scale
and discussion about spatial trends in rainfall depth, intensity, erosivity, and predicted runoff. It is concluded that sub-kilometre scale differences are highly relevant for environmental processes acting on short-time scales like flooding or erosion
The effect of synoptic scale weather systems on sub-surface soil temperatures in a diurnal frost environment : preliminary observations from sub-Antarctic Marion Island
The AA. assessed the applicability of a boosting method in periglacial distribution modelling using empirically derived data on cryoturbation, sporadic permafrost and sorted solifluction from an area in sub-Arctic Finland. The results showed
the robustness of the boosting method in predicting the distribution of periglacial phenomena in the sub-Arctic landscape. Furthermore, the environmental factors selected by the boosting method coincided well with the expected controls of the phenomena
Fine scale variability in soil frost dynamics surrounding cushions of the dominant vascular plant species (Azorella selago) on sub-Antarctic Marion Island
The AA. studied the fine scale variability in soil temperature and moisture parameters, specifically focusing on frost cycle characteristics around cushions of the dominant vascular plant species, Azorella selago, on sub-Antarctic Marion Island
Le rôle du HIV et du SIDA dans la situation sociale et économique en Afrique sub-saharienne
HIV/AIDS is one of the most important factors in the economic development of Sub-Saharan Africa. In this region there was a strong southward trend in spreading of the disease in the past decade. After the collapse of the apartheid regime, the South

The AA. describe and explain a regional topographic and geomorphic expression of sub-glacial volcanism, namely that at Kverkfjöll, Iceland. This area comprises a series of parallel sub-glacially-erupted volcanic edifices, which together give
Three geomorphological models, based on linear reservoirs cascade, are developed; two of the models are unit hydrograph (UH) models and one contains a non-linear routing approach. In the first UH model, each sub-basin is represented as a cascade
of equal linear reservoirs (Nash's model) which directly discharges to the watershed oulet through a linear channel. In the second UH model each sub-basin is represented as a linear reservoir arranged in a sequence based on the drainage network. Two
