The typological diversity and the great number of parameters which are influencing the formation of deltas as well as their continuous change are being studied by many disciplines. The author endeavours to summarize the current stage of research
In 1983, a pilot project was initiated for an applied geomorphological mapping programme for Indonesia, financed by a World Bank loan. The area between Semarang and Rembang, central Java, was selected as being quite representative for the Indonesian
territory, and the programme can be regarded as an example of a survey applicable to environmental planning and management as well as to the standard geological, pedological and hydrological surveys. (AIS).
The low terrace of the Seine in the meander of Elbeuf presents three periglacial alluvial deposits and interglacial estuarine formations intercalated, the whole sequence being dated from Saalian. The fauna of great mammals is well represented: among
In this paper the A. focussed on two particular geographers as being representative of the outsiders within academic geography, ISHIDA R. and IIZUKA K. - (SGA)
Landscape ecology (geoecology) is a science of rise, evolution, behaviour and spatial organization of complex regional units as integrated formations being studied through a geoecosystems approach. (MS).
Untersuchungen zur Dynamik geogen Bedingter Salzkontaminationen an Vertikalfilterbrunnen. (Investigation on the dynamics of salt contamination of vertical filter wells)
Observations on the microclimate in the wetland of southeast Hulunbuir show that cold damage to agriculture was caused mainly by the ground-water level being too high and by too much water content in the soils. Experiments indicate
is widespread and of more than local significance, and that the benches are of undoubted marine origin and that they span the entire Cenozoic period: that at 240 m, being the oldest as it supports Palaeogene sediments. (AJC).
To study the climatic history of the Quaternary of Colombia, a drill-core of 357 m depth has been analyzed. For the time being it seems that this sequence of over 3.5 millions years is the longest continuous climatic record of the world, at least
urban geomorphology can offer data in general scales, for the needs of Slovakia this being 1: 500 000. At the second stage the evaluation of surface form, present landforming process and a combination of these characteristics with data possible
Everywhere human beings show a tendency to perceive reality as consisting of both discrete elements and continuous processes. Individuals wish to draw boundaries around the parts they know, but to see them as an integrated whole| they want
. The trend parameters uniquely determine and are determined by the dynamics. A multiple of final stationary states can be reached and migratory phase transitions can appear for transition probabilities being nonlinear in population densities. Numerical
Usually social-spatial planning is regarded as being synonymous with urban and regional planning. Attention is also paid to the contribution of some physical geographers to urban and regional planning. (AIS).
To determine what kind of stands may be used of grassland and to what extent an assessment was made of the substrate and hydromorphic conditions, slope incline, stone content as well as of specific features of location in each district
. The relations existing between certain local factors and the use of areas as grassland are dealt with for the GDR as a whole as well as for some of its regions. (HL).
