Particle size, shape, and load in a cold and a temperate valley glacier
a wide range of silt and boulder sizes. Crushing into smaller pieces, rather than the removal of asperities is postulated as the dominant process of glacial erosion. Sediment loads are given for the glacial streams.
Analytical procedures are presented whereby data from multiple flumes, installed to sample overland through a cross-section, can be processed to yield total discharge and sediment load for the section. Sample results from two 18-m cross-sections
on a semiarid hillslope show that discharge and sediment load do not increase linearly downslope, as hitherto assumed. These findings are explained in terms of spatial variations in infiltration and raindrop detachment rates.
The determination of compressibility requires multifunctional methods in order to deal adequately with the complex connections between what growing plants require from the soil and its physical characteristics as affected by the loads which it has
to support. Therefore the A. studies the effect of internal parameters of the soil and the effect of external forces (kind of loading, time dependence and number of compaction events).
The examples presented in this paper show that the soil physical properties in the field can be predicted from laboratory measurements. This requires the measurement of well-defined parameters such as pressure transmission, preconsolidation load
, settlement behaviour, shear parameters and load dependency of physical properties.

A model for sedimentation by surging glaciers is developed from analysis of the debris load, sedimentary processes, and proglacial stratigraphy observed at the Icelandic surging glacier, Eyjabakkajükull.
The axonometric perspective makes the representation of complex cave systems more comprehensible. By the application of computation technique the point coordinates X, Y and Z, are loaded into the memory of the computer. A graph plotter immediately

An original splitting system design was employed to obtain measurements of stream load components from two adjacent and physiologically comparable catchments in the Natal Drakensberg. An autumn burn treatment was applied to one of the catchments
. The treatment caused a significant reduction in the rate of subsurface water movement and in the baseflow discharge volume. It did not have any substantial effect on storm runoff and stream load components. (AJC).
During their studies in Butramo basin, Calabria, the AA. became convinced that the braided rivers are not at all chaotic, but are extremely well regulated fluvial systems with an optimum efficiency in carrying both water and bed load.
