Classical approaches for landslides hazard assessment are based on raster or grid format and are expressing the level of hazard for each pixel or grid node. Because landslides are not continuous distributed phenomena, the ...
To the extent that the geographic study of film has come of age, it is important to not only tie it to disciplinary issues but also to push theoretical boundaries. Geographic concern is often lacking a critical perspective, ...

A new immunogold labelling method for the visualisation of vinculin, an integral protein in focal adhesions of cells, is reported. Quantification of vinculin is indicative of substrate cytocompatibility (cytocompatibility ...
Moraines that dam proglacial lakes pose an increasing hazard to communities in the Andes and other mountain ranges. The moraines are prone to failure through collapse, overtopping by lake waters or the effect of displacement ...
Measurements were conducted in coniferous forests of differing density, insolation and latitude to test whether air temperatures are suitable surrogates for canopy temperature in estimating sub-canopy longwave irradiance ...
Analysing the impact of future climate change on hydrological regimes is hampered by the disparity of scales between general circulation model (GCM) output and the spatial resolution required by catchment-scale hydrological ...
This paper presents work from a geomorphological investigation carried out in the Aradena Gorge, southwestern Crete, Greece. The gorge is typical of many steepland fluvial systems in the Mediterranean, with steep relief, ...

Extensive wastes from the copper mining and smelting activities of the Nabatean, Roman and Byzantine periods in the Wadi Faynan in the southern Jordanian desert continue to exert a profound influence upon the environment, ...

Understanding the dynamics of forest regeneration on abandoned agricultural land in the Amazon has often been restricted by limited knowledge of historical land use. This study compared time-series classifications of mature ...

Understanding the dynamics of forest regeneration on abandoned agricultural land in the Amazon has often been restricted by limited knowledge of historical land use. This study compared time-series classifications of mature ...
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) measurements of quartz are widely used to measure equivalent dose (D-e). At radiation doses above similar to 100 Gy, saturation of traps results in a decrease in the rate of growth ...

Thermally-transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) extends the age range of OSL dating using quartz. A set of experiments have been undertaken to determine the kinetic parameters of the TT-OSL source traps, ...

In-channel fine-sediment storage, especially in areas draining highly erodible materials, constitutes an important part of the sediment budget of a drainage basin. This phenomenon occurs when sediment production in the ...
