Broadening Horizons
‘Broadening Horizons: multidisciplinary approaches to landscape study’ presents nine papers on physical landscape research in the Mediterranean and the Near East. Giving prime place to young researchers working in this field, it brings together highly diverse applications ranging from ground survey to semi-automated remote sensing, from cuneiform studies to palynology and from human geography to paradigm re-evaluation. Aimed at a public of both students and scholars with a shared interest in the study of past landscapes, its aims are dual. In presenting ongoing research which applies various techniques available to the student of landscape, it aims to add to the practice of these sub-fie...
Mud and Mudstones
Clear writing and analysis of the broad spectrum of processes that produce shale are coupled with well-captioned 150 illustrations, 40 tables, boxed technical details, glossary and appendices. Recounts the step-by-step evolution and stages of shal, enabling readers to master the basics and to dig yet deeper into their origin, practical implications and relationship to earth history. Background information appears in appendices (Clay Mineralogy, Isotopes, Petrology, etc.); technicial details in high-lighted boxes, and definitions of 300+ terms in the Glossary.

Löss in Niederösterreich
Die globalen Klimaschwankungen des Quartärs hatten tiefgreifende, regional differenzierte Auswirkungen auf die Landschaftsentwicklung. Warmphasen mit Bodenbildung wechselten mit morphodynamisch aktiven Kaltphasen. Löss-Paläoboden Sequenzen entstehen im Wechselspiel von Pedogenese, Sedimentation und Hangprozessen. Die Entschlüsselung dieser wertvollen terrestrischen Paläoumweltarchive erfordert ein breites Methodenspektrum. Für die hier vorgenommene Neubearbeitung bekannter Lössprofile in Niederösterreich waren insbesondere quantitative Farbmessungen und mikromorphologische Untersuchungen hilfreich. Das chronostratigraphische Modell beruht auf zahlreichen Lumineszenzdatierungen. Mit dieser Arbeit gelingt der Nachweis von tiefgreifenden geomorphologischen Veränderungen während der letzten Million Jahre sowie von Oszillationen mitteleuropäisch geprägter Kaltzeiten und kontinental bis mediterran beeinflusster Warmzeiten.
