Evolution and dynamics of Ghiacciaio Nord delle Locce (Valle Anzasca, Western Alps) from 1854 to the present
Taking into consideration the available documentation (maps and literature), a tentative is made to outline the evolution of Ghiacciaio Nord delle Locce (Western Alps, North Italy) since 1854. - (MR)
Slope failure and denudation in the western Himalaya
This paper assesses denudation by mass-movement in the western Himalaya and relates the mobilization of debris by mass movement to further removal by glacial and fluvial processes.
Correlation of Quaternary pedostratigraphy from western to eastern Europe
In this paper, the A. suggests a correlation of later Pleistocene interglacial paleosols from Normandy (St. Pierre les Elbeuf) in western Europe to the Ukraine in eastern Europe based on soil characteristics and dates from selected key sites.
Early stages of podzolisation in young aeolian sediments, western Jutland
Soil formation in young aeolian sediments covered with pine and spruce was studied in an afforestation area in western Jutland, at Hvidbjerg Klitplantage, Thy District. The investigations have shown that in a cool temperate climate podzolised soils
Late-glacial vegetation and climate change in Western Oregon
The AA. describe 2 detailed pollen records of the late-glacial period from western Oregon. They provide information on late-glacial variations in vegetation and climate and on the extent and character of Younger Dryas cooling in the Pacific

The multistage concept is explained and illustrated, with reference to a bornhardt from the southern Yilgarn Block of southwestern Western Australia. Hyden Rock is a complex inselberg developed on Archaean granite. It probably developed through

This paper examines the existence of sand-dominated ridge-form anabranching rivers in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It describes their channel and ridge morphology, sedimentology and stratigraphy, discusses stream flow and sediment
Shoulder uplift of the Western Ghats passive margin, India : a denudational model
The paper presents a denudational rift flank uplift model of the Western Ghats of Karnataka. The Cenozoic denudation of the Deccan plateau was constrained by relative dating of regional planation surface levels, in combination with preliminary
apatite fission track results. The denudational history of the Western Ghats escarpment coastal foreland was constrained both by onshore fission track and offshore sediment data. Methods are briefly described. Results were used as reference data
Erosion and sediment yield in relation to afforestation and fire in the mountains of the Western Cape Province, South Africa
The mountains of the Western Cape Province fulfil a vital water supply function. In order to protect the supply, it is important to understand the natural soil erosion rates in the mountains and human influence upon them. The variety of management
Converting minerals to merchandise : landownership and environmental alteration in the George's Creek Valley of western Maryland
The assault on the environment of the southern Appalachians began in western Maryland toward the end of the eighteenth century. Author documents how land consolidation by speculators there preceded exploitation by the George's Creek Coal and Iron
Seasonal inorganic nitrogen release in alpine lakes on the Colorado western slope
of N in deposition have been associated with leakage of N to surface waters. The question remains of whether NO3 is being exported to surface waters on the Colorado western slope during snowmelt runoff. Landscape type appears to be important in leakage
Environmental controls on soil frost activity in the Western Cape mountains, South Africa
Field observations on active frost processes in the Western Cape mountains have shown the presence of micropatterned ground and turf- and stone-banked steps and lobes in argillaceous sediments at sites above 1600 m a.s.l. Soil texture plays

. The pivotal role of nature is evident in the massive federal presence in western land and resource politics. Nature is essential to capitalist accumulation, but nature can be posed in opposition to culture and economy, and such ideologies can become
