7121: Port-au-Prince ravines (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Anna Joy Versluis <versluisa@geo.orst.edu>

Dear all,

I am interested in gathering information about the ravines of the
Port-au-Prince metropolitan area: how fast are they incised? what
conditions accelerate or slow their incision? what problems do the
ravines cause? what has been done to try to control erosion and by whom?
have they ever been studied?   I am interested in personal stories,
references, studies, photos, old maps, etc.  Please reply to my e-mail
address.

Thanks,
Anna Versluis
