L'interaction de la température et de la vitesse du vent varie selon le type de la masse d'air. L'action de ces facteurs sur les structures métalliques et l'homme.
Solution of the linear diffusion equation for modelling erosion processes with a time varying diffusion coefficient
predictions are tested on a hill of the southern part of the Ural mountainous region. The results and conclusions of this study may be useful in estimating in quantitative terms the morphological evolution of a hill or a mountain with time.
Article gives a review of sea floods on Slovenian cost with emphasis on their formation, extent and consequences. Sea floods are occuring every year, but they vary in frequency and extent. Consequently, the damage caused by floods also varies. Sea
to present-day, an analysis of flooded regions and influence of climate changes on sea floods. - (IKR)
Mass balance of glaciers in mountain areas varies not only with altitude and regional position but also with aspect, gradient, glacier size, glacier type and detailed topographic position. These factors are combined here in models of how glacier
altitude varies, tested with data for the Alps edified from the World Glacier Inventory.
Problems of the Czech military areas and their recent changes. In particular, it is focused on the military site of Hradiště, situated in the volcanic Doupov mts. nearby of Karlovy Vary. The natural conditions of the territory are discussed

The A. assesses the current state of the environment, emerging environmental problems, and possible future developments in Russia's regions as a result of increasing regional differentiation brought about by the varied impacts of economic reform
and restructuring in Russia. Particular attention is devoted to the environmental ramifications of regional economic specialization, privatization, reduction in state subsidies and character of future urban/suburban development.

Les AA. montrent que l'impact d'une taxe sur la valeur ajoutée au niveau des prix (demande) est identique dans les régions intégrées spatialement, quel que soit leur niveau d'élasticité-prix. L'impact ne varie pas à l'intérieur d'un même sous-marché
, mais varie d'un sous-marché à l'autre. Exemple du marché régional du charbon aux Etats-Unis (Appalaches).

L'accent est mis sur la distribution spatiale des activités économiques qui répond aux demandes des ménages à l'intérieur d'une région. Le taux d'activité par habitant varie dans l'espace (valeurs élevées en centre urbain, faibles dans son voisinage
, qui s'approchent de la moyenne à mesure que la distance au centre augmente). Une courbe est ainsi définie, qui ne varie pas alors que la structure spatiale des résidences et celle des transports évolue.
