Wooden constructions - dwellings, outbuildings, fences and hay stackers are discussed and mapped for Western North America including Alaska and Canada. Major centers of innovation are identified in southwestern Montana, Mormon Utah, Hispanic New
Mexico and the eastern Sacramento Valley. The West is seen as a bewildering assemblage of unique places in which continuity, innovation and ethnicity have all shaped this diversity. The culture of the American West is not monolithic as has so often been

The formation of epigenetic gorges depends upon the competition between the resistance to transport, strength and roughness of valley-filling sediments and a river's ability to sculpt and incise bedrock. The AA. begin by introducing conceptual

The origin of certain wide valleys in the Canary Islands

The present work addresses a long-term controversy concerning the origin of Orotava Valley, one of the most peculiar valleys in the Island of Tenerife. Analysis of the key features of Orotava Valley leads to formulation of an hypothesis which could
be applicable to numerous volcanic areas. Such valleys are developed as volcanic valleys undergo lateral expansion due to repeated alternations of processes: initial erosion of the gorges by streams, the burial of the gorges by lava flows, and the inversion
of the relief by erosion at the base of valley walls.
The post to late glacial valley reconstruction on the Haramosh north side (Mani, Baska and Phuparash valleys)
Asia ; Glacial features ; Glacial valley ; Karokoram ; Lateral moraine ; Palaeo-environment ; Postglacial
The history of the landscape of the Haramosh valley is linked with the former glaciation history of the Indus Valley. The extent of the former glaciers Mani, Baska and Phuparash according to their glacio-geomorphic position, their snow line
depression and relative age classification, using the method of Kuhle, is reported in this article. A high glacial ice filling of the Haramosh valley and glacial erosion of the flat top of the Darchan ridge as an intermediate valley head is strongly probable.
A rational explanation of cross-profile morphology for glacial valleys and of glacial valley development
The purpose of this paper is, first to present an explanation of the cross-profile morphology based on the physical process of glacier flow and second to interpret development of the glacial valley cross-profile.
