PUGH, BSc, PhD, FInstP* Recent debates on the possibility of an increase in global temperatures of 2 4 C by the year 2100 have identified related increases in global sea-level as a major potential problem. This review seeks to place extreme estimates in a more realistic context, and to identify appropriate immediate responses, particularly for the United Kingdom. The areas most at risk in the UK are estuaries, and the low-lying land in the south-east of England where the rise of sea-level is enhanced by land sinking...

PAUL, BA, BSc, PhD, FGS* J. A. D. BALFOUR, BSc, PhD, MICE* Undergraduate civil engineers frequently find it difficult to learn to interpret geological maps by traditional methods. These difficulties arise as the result of a failure to link visual cues on the map with a correct perception of the corresponding three-dimensional structure...

COTTMAN, BCE, FIEAust, CE, MBS* G. R.M C K A Y , BEng, PhD, MICE? This Paper describes an innovative concept for designing channel transitions which will converge wide, shallow, sub-critical flows into high-velocity critical flows. The flows are then passed through deep, narrow throats that are cheaply culverted or bridged...

The Micklefield Green to South Mimms section of London's orbital motorway M25 includes an important interchange with the London-Birmingham motorway M1. The Paper describes the background to the design of the interchange and the various options considered. This took into account the need to construct the interchange around an active motorway carrying up to 120000 vehicles per day, its proximity to built-up areas in the metropolitan green belt and its proximity to an existing junction between the M1 and the A405 The final choice was a four-level interchange and the selection of suitable forms for the central structures is described, together with other aspects of the highway and bridge design...

Mansfield and N. S. Odeh I. J. Rowdon, Sir William Halcrow& Partners Scotland Limited The Authors' review of the findings of earlier studies makes sobering reading and, if reflected in the UK, must be cause for concern. It is reported that waiting for decisions or materials is the most serious demotivating factor on large sites; yet such sites are likely to have a large supervisory organization, with the implication that senior engineering staff are readily available to give advice and direction...

Bridgewater and J. Ibaiiez-Guzrnan, Construction Robotics Research Group, University of Reading The most compelling conclusion drawn by Dr Wing is that robots should not be designed to mimic human tasks. This warning is borne out in other workz1where it isargued that instead of designing robots to accomplish tasks performed around humans, construction details should be designed with automation and robots in mind...

Moore J. H. W. Lee and V. Cheung, University of Hong Kong TheAuthorscomparedthe initial dilution predictions of three mathematical models with field measurements collected by the Water Research Centre (WRc) and the Southern Authority. Judging from the results of their comparison, as summarized in Fig. 1 of the Technical Note, one would naturally conclude that the mathematical model predictions greatly overpredict the field measurements, and hence justify the observation that `itis not possible to make definite predictions of moving water dilution'...
