Community members were concerned that beach erosion and seasonal river flooding were destroying many of the nests deposited annually and thought that a hatchery was a possible solution. Over the 2001 turtle nesting season, the Inst...

The focus of soil erosion research in the Alps has been in two categories: (i) on-sitemeasurements, which are rather small scale point measurements on selected plots often constrained to irrigation experiments or (ii) off-site quantification of sediment delivery at the outlet of the catchment. Results of both categories pointed towards the importance of an intact vegetation cover to prevent soi...

In the Mediterranean region there is growing concern for the potential increase in erosion risk associated with climate change and increasing storm frequency. The central Ebro basin is the region facing the greatest problems of desertification in northern Spain and there is a need to assemble information on short-term erosion rates associated with individual storm events. The Be technique offer...
