.b rom time to time the existence of typhus has been recorded in Kashmir. In the winter of 1942-43, an epidemic of typhus occurred in Kashmir, and this paper is based on a study of this epidemic. Kashmir is a large valley at about 5,500 feet surrounded by high mountains 12,000 feet high. In the main valley runs the Jhelum river and the tributaries of this river descend from smaller valleys lyin...

s that the Early Neolithic Starcevo Culture groups from South Romania intentionally searched and used mineralized fossil wood available in river valleys beds from South Carpathian slopes.

During the Cenozoic, Southeast Asia was profoundly affected by plate tectonic events, dynamic river systems, fluctuating sea levels, shifting coastlines, and climatic variation, which have influenced the ecological and evolutionary trajectories of the Southeast Asian flora and fauna. We examined the role of these paleogeographic factors on shaping phylogeographic patterns focusing on a species ...

River channels and valleys have been observed on several planetary bodies in addition to the Earth. Long sinuous valleys on Venus, our Moon and Jupiter's moon Io are clearly formed by lava, and branching valleys on Saturn's moon Titan may be forming today by rivers of methane. But by far the most dissected body in our Solar System apart from the Earth is Mars. Branching valleys that in plan res...

Sediment and phosphorus (P) transport from the Minnesota River Basin to Lake Pepin on the upper Mississippi River has garnered much attention in recent years. However, there is lack of data on the extent of sediment and P contributions from riverbanks vis-à-vis uplands and ravines. Using two light detection and ranging (lidar) data sets taken in 2005 and 2009, a study was undertaken to quantify...
