Disturbance after Disturbance
Our attempts to gain knowledge from studying the effects of a single windstorm might be complicated by one or more other events that pass through the same system before it recovers from prior damage. In this article, we had the opportunity to examine permanent plots affected by two consecutive catastrophic storms of comparable intensity within a short time frame (less than a decade). We compared tree damage patterns resulting from Hurricane Rita …
Land Systems Science
Contemporary land systems science is described, and its relationships to land‐use and land‐cover change, and land change science explained. The importance of land systems sciences in contemporary local‐ to global‐scale environmental and societal issues is outlined, its interdisciplinary nature considered, and its position within geography explained.
Deforestation dynamics and policy changes in Bolivia's post-neoliberal era

The diverse and contested meanings of sustainable development
We provide a heuristic framework that can be used as a lens for understanding the arguments being presented in the papers which comprise this special issue on sustainable development and environmental issues in Great Britain. This framework can also be used as an introduction to the wider literature on sustainable development because it is designed to bring greater clarity to this large, diverse and rapidly expanding field of enquiry populated by…
Human and climatic impact on late Quaternary deposition in the Sparta Basin Piedmont
The evolution of four alluvial fans in the Evrotas Valley, southern Greece, was examined using a combination of geomorphological and sedimentological techniques. Source material for the fans is derived largely from the Taygetos Mountains, and thus the fan deposits provide proxy evidence for erosion of upland landscapes. Stratigraphic sequences exposed in the fanhead trenches suggest a progressive change in depositional style down‐fan. Within the …
Merged remotely sensed data for geomorphological investigations in deserts
Image merging has gained acceptance in geological remote sensing, however it has rarely been applied in geomorphology. We report on the usefulness of principal components substitution (PCS) to merge IRS panchromatic data with multispectral Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, to map commonly encountered desert geomorphological features, and in relative age dating of alluvial surfaces. The merged data were applied to the identification and mapping of geo…
