Military Sexual Trauma and Risky Behaviors
Geomorphic Thresholds
Thresholds of the first kind refer to boundaries or discontinuities in space or time; thresholds of the second kind denote a transformation of state or intensity associated with an ongoing process. Threshold crossings may be forced by processes working within a system (intrinsic thresholds) or by a change in some extrinsic control (extrinsic threshold). Thresholds may also be classified according to whether they are abrupt (sharp), transitional, …

The Regulation of Peace River
"The book describes a forty-year longitudinal study of the effects on river morphology and riparian vegetation communities of the regulation of Peace River, in northwestern Canada"
Cereals, fruits and nuts in the Scottish Neolithic
The importance of wild and domestic plants in the British Neolithic economies has been much disputed, but the contribution of Scottish archaeobotanical evidence has previously been understated. This paper assesses the use of plants in the Scottish Neolithic economy using the archaeobotanical evidence from 75 sites. It is argued that plant exploitation was geographically and socially diverse in Neolithic Scotland; while domesticated plants became …
Excavation of a Bronze Age kerbed cairn at Olcote, Breasclete, Near Calanais, Isle of Lewis
An archaeological excavation was carried out by the Centre for Field Archaeology (CFA) from October to December 1995 of a Bronze Age kerbed cairn at Olcote, Breasclete, Isle of Lewis (NGR: NB 2180 3475). The cairn was discovered by CFA during an evaluation of a dense scatter of worked and unworked quartz made by local archaeologists, Margaret and Ron Curtis. The remains lay in the path of the improvement of the single track road through Breasclet…
Wandering Gravel‐bed Rivers
Problem orientation in physical geography teaching
Physical geography is practised and taught mainly in a descriptive‐explanatory mode. Adoption of an analytic‐predictive mode improves scientific rigour and leads more directly to applied studies. The introduction of real, quantitative problems in classroom and field teaching serves this end. The paper illustrates the use of problems in a university introductory hydrology course. Teaching objectives and the full course structure are presented in o…
Scales of Investigation in Geomorphology
On the Relationship of Weight, Length and Girth of the Ringed Seal ( Pusa hispida ) of the Canadian Arctic
Analyzes the relationships between the standard length, max girth, axillary girth and blubber thickness of 73 ringed seals, 71 of them taken at Sachs Harbour, Aug-Sept 1966. Data for the 61 seals from SW Baffin Island first studied by MacLaren, No 53026, are reanalyzed to determine which relationships give the most reliable prediction of weight. A formula using length and max girth as factors is the most precise, and the best single indicator is …
