and controls of soil movement. Soil movements recur in every freeze-thaw period, although with some interannual variations affected by the length of seasonal snow cover and the occurrence of precipitation during freeze-thaw periods. The Swiss Alps encounter
of the question as to whether the movement of a Europe of Regions is constructive or counterproductive for the European process of integration and enlargement, we see that the movement and the model corresponding to it tend to be counterproductive or at best
legitimate or indifferent. In contrast, the European Regional Development Plan is an excellent approximation for the idea of European integration and the movement of a Europe of Regions. - (IFL)
The aim of the study is to reveal the periods and causes of Holocene Aeolian activity, paying special attention to sand movements in historical times. The analysis of lake sediments shows two periods of sand movement at the end of Boreal Phase

The complexity of mass-movement phenomena has led to a profusion of confusing terminology that this paper attempts to clarify. The most useful classification are those that employ as their primary criteria the type of movement involved
Modelling the hysteresis in the velocity pattern of slow-moving earth flows : the role of excess pore pressure
This paper describes the velocity pattern of a slow-moving earth flow containing a viscous shear band and a more or less rigid landslide body on top. To explain the hysteresis loop in the velocity pattern, the A. considers the role of excess pore
Since 1989 slope movements of tectonic origin have been monitered in this three pseudocarst localities in Polická pánev - basin. Presence of movements of tectonic origin hasn't been proved. For further interpretation a small-scale geomorphological
The article presents the history of the Euro-Asian movement, as an original concept of Russian political thought originating from the early 1920s. Its creators were convinced of the need to create a huge empire that would encompass a sizeable part
of Eurasia. Such concepts are now being recalled and reinstated in today's Russia, the movement's leading exponent being A. Dugin, whose views are presented and assessed here. A final part of the article focuses on the geopolitical consequences of programmes
The Rio Grande downstream from Cochiti Dam exhibits spatial and temporal variability in lateral movement rates documented since 1918. A tremendous database exists that documents planform, bed material size, channel geometry, and water and sediment
movement increases with increasing flow energy and with degree of braiding.

using weather radar, a newly discovered meteorological remote sensing tool. This research, an inherently spatial problem of assessing storm cell size and movement, was both innovative and an appropriate melding of geography and meteorology.
The aim of this study is to evaluate flood hazards through the use of quantitative pregeomorphic methods, which were already applied to estimate mass movement hazards and accelerated erosion hazards in some Italian areas. The study area is the Fiume
Protection of the Alps is an aim of many NGOs in alpine countries. Since 1991 in Slovenia relatively strong movement of civil society has developed, which contributed to the higher level of protection of alpine environment. CIPRA Slovenia is a good
