    Geologic Processes and Hazards in High-Relief Terrain
    (1977-07) Berner, Heinz
    The content of this paper summarizes the principles of glacial processes and some aspects of mass movement in mountain regions such as the Alps. Especially avalanche formation and protective measures as practiced in Switzerland shall be discussed. The purpose of this report is to review some surficial geologic processes in high-relief terrain and see how they affect human developments and activities. It is thus, too, a practical exercise in environmental geology, particularly as it relates to land use planning. Furthermore, it is a library research paper required for graduation.

    A Land Suitability Study for Lakewood Township in St. Louis County, Minnesota
    (1977-05) Berner, Heinz
    The purpose of this paper is to provide opportunity for a practical exercise in regional planning. It must be emphasized that this paper is a report rather than an original planning contribution. Fieldwork other than four reconnaissance trips was not undertaken. Instead, data compilation has been achieved through personal consultation of local planning offices and governmental agencies as well as literature research. However, content and format (including graphical representation) are the result of the writer's work and judgement.

    Municipal Solid Waste Disposal: A Problem in Environmental Geology
    (1977-06) Berner, Heinz
    This paper will discuss some of the aspects of municipal solid waste disposal, particularly the physical and technical problems associated with sanitary landfills. One of its purposes is to see to what extent geologic information can be helpful in solving specific land use problems such as the location of landfill sites. Furthermore, this report is primarily a library research paper, required for graduation.
