Unearthing treasure and trouble: Mining as an impetus to urbanisation in Tanzania
Despite an abundance of mineral wealth and an ancient history of gold trading, Tanzania is a relative latecomer to the experience of being a mineral-dominated national economy. Both the British colonial state and Nyerere's post-colonial state avoided encouraging, and only reluctantly provided support to, large- and small-scale mining. Farming constituted the livelihood for the vast majority of the population and peasant agricultural exports provi…

Surficial geology and geomorphology of the Brúarjökull surging glacier landsystem
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. A 1:30,000 scale map poster of the snout and proglacial landscape of the surging Icelandic glacier Brúarjökull, provides a spatial and temporal assessment of the geomorphic impacts of surging in glaciated terrains. Based upon aerial photography from 1998, 1999 and 2000, the map identifies the major landforms that are regarded as diagnostic of glacier surging when viewed in a land…
Surficial geology and geomorphology of the þórisjökull plateau icefield, west-central Iceland
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. A surficial geology and geomorphology map of þórisjökull, west-central Iceland, serves the dual purpose of providing an historical archive of Little Ice Age glacier recession in a warming global climate and monitoring tool for geomorphologists studying the temporal evolution of glacial landform-sediment assemblages or landsystems. The map is based on 1999 colour aerial photograph…
