Mapping coastal land use changes 1965–2014: Methods for handling historical thematic data
This paper describes a national analysis of coastal land use change in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It compares a survey conducted by volunteers in 1965 with the 2014 update created using digital topographic data and aerial photography in an open source GIS . The paper reviews the origins and impacts of differences in the way that land use classes are measured and reported, and highlights a generic issue when comparing thematic data. This…
Natural Landscapes of Britain from the Air
Using the aerial camera to reveal the natural forces that have moulded the landscape around us, this book launches a three part geography of Britain from the air. Companion volumes on the man-made landscape and on environmental pressures in modern Britain are in preparation

The selection of scenic forest drives
Goodall B. and Whittow J. B. (1980) The selection of scenic forest drives, Reg. Studies 14, 85–97. Leisure motoring involves a particular style of driving which can best be catered for by the development of scenic drives. However, scenic drives provided to date in Great Britain appear to have been selected largely on intuitive grounds. This paper, therefore, develops a methodology for measuring and comparing the availability of views from a road …

The Landforms of the Central Ruwenzori, East Africa
The ruwenzori are a lofty mountain range lying just to the north of the Equator on the borders of Uganda and the Congo. The mountains, standing in the western arm of the East African rift valley, are 60-70 miles long and have a maxi? mum breadth of about 30 miles (Fig. 1). Unlike the other snow peaks of East Africa, the range is not of volcanic origin but is a gigantic uplifted horst-like block of pre-Cambrian rocks, and its formation is connecte…
