The music was blaring, the fondue was cooking, and for this crowd the resort's top-rate terrain and happening après-ski scene were coming together quite nicely.
However, in regions with high rainfall rates, steep terrain, and high natural erosion rates (as in the Himalayan region), the relative impact of land use may be low (Kiersch [2000]).
Hunter S Thompson went skiing only once, even though he spent almost four decades living up the road from some of the most highly rated ski terrain on the planet.
For the technique to be useful in upscaling of process models and regional-scale conservation planning, we must be able to show that a consistent relationship exists between 137Cs-derived soil redistribution rates and terrain attributes in a given region.
Here, we present a novel multi-nuclide approach to study the landscape evolution and past erosion rates in terrains with a complex exposure history, particularly focusing on regions that were repeatedly covered by glaciers or ice sheets during the Quaternary.
Afghanistan has a higher illiteracy rate, more difficult terrain and fewer developed resources than Iraq does, he said.
Though it is hard to be certain, apparently the hard-marching Swiss possessed sufficient operational mobility to keep up with cavalry, at any rate in confined terrain such as Alpine valleys.
In this study, the overall injury rate for snowboarding terrain park (TP) injuries is 0.75 injuries/1000 runs.
The primary conclusions are that observed lapse rates in complex terrain differ markedly from the commonly assumed Γ = 6.5 K km−1, these lapse rates can be realistically resolved via dynamical downscaling, and use of constant Γ produces differences in E of order as large as 102 mm year−1.
These differences are most likely governed by the presence of vegetation patches and variable runoff and sediment transport rates among the terrain classes.
