The article presents the history of research of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper. The periodization of research by chronological periods from the IV century is developed. B.C. until the end of the XVIII century. The periods and key stages of river research during the corresponding period are highlighted. The issues of description of the respective rivers in antiquity and the Middle Ages are covered, in particular the elements of the geographical position of their river systems, water regime, feeding conditions, economical use, elements of river valleys and the organic world of their basins. Chronicle data and original works of scientists and politicians of these time periods are processed. The issues of geographical position of the river network, number and names of rivers of the studied sub-basin of the Middle Dnieper according to the maps of the XVI-XVIII centuries are covered in detail. Cartographic works of cartographers from France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Muscovy have been studied. Particular attention is paid to the cartographic works of the French cartographer Guillaume Levasser de Beauplan, who began a new stage in the mapping of the main left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper and their smaller tributaries. For the first time, 137 rivers of the Left Bank of the Middle Dnieper were marked on his maps. He put forward the theory of the formation of the channels of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper. On the maps of 1680 – 1760, we notice the beginning of the stage of stagnation in the image of the hydrographic grid of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper. The information according to the descriptive data of the Left Bank of Ukraine of the end of the XVIII century is singled out. The first detailed descriptions of the rivers – Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv governorates and Little Russia Governorate in the period from 1775 to 1800 were developed. A complete catalog of rivers of the I, II, III and IV order of the Middle Dnieper sub-basin according to descriptive data within the river basins with indication of their length is given.

The article presents the history of the studies of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper. Periodization of the researches by chronological periods from the XIXth century to the beginning of the XXIth century is developed. The author singles out 5 periods and the key stages of the river research during the corresponding period. Further continuation in time of the period of systematization of reliable information about the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper in 1801-1820s is substantiated. Attention is paid to the described and cartographic data of this period, in particular to the “Detailed map of the Russian Empire and adjacent foreign possessions” for 1801-1804 and “Carte de la Russie Europeenne en LXXVII feuilles executee au Depot general de la Guerre” for 1812. Theories of the XIX – early XX centuries on the formation of the river valleys of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper are covered in detail – in the works of Nikolai Arendarenko, Nikolai Markevich, Vasily Dokuchaev, Ivan Levakovsky, Nikolai Maximovich and Eugene Oppokov. Emphasis is placed on two main cartographic works of 1840-1860, reflecting detailed hydrographic network of rivers in the region – the map by N. Arendarenko “The main rivers and ravines of Poltava province” in 1848 and “Military-topographic map of the Russian Empire” 1846-1863 years, by F. Schubert and P.A. Tuchkov. It was highlighted information about the formation of gauging system on the rivers of the left bank of the Middle Dnieper and substantiated the key stages of formation, expansion and curtailment of the gauging system from 1880 to 2012. Information about field scientific expeditions along the rivers of the study region under the leadership of hydrologists V. Lokhtin (1882 – 1892) and E. Oppokov (1894 – 1898). Information is provided on the most accurate catalog of rivers and streams of the Dnieper basin by P.L. Mashtakov, “The List of Rivers of the Dnieper Basin. With Map and Alphabetical Index.” This catalog identifies 9 large basins of the Left Bank of the Middle Dnieper, which lists 569 rivers within the study area. Spatial and temporal analysis of water management, rail transport, agriculture on the main left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper during 1910 – 1930s is carried out. Activities of Hydrometeorological Service of USSR on making hydrological descriptions of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper from 1949 to 1960 are covered in detail. A detailed analysis of the list of works on hydrological and other researches concerning the rivers of the left bank of the Middle Dnieper basin from 1920 to 2022 is carried out

Full textAbstract:
The current scope of knowledge of individual fragments of the Dniester valley was analyzed, and it was found thatits pre-Carpathian part remains the least studied. The diagrams illustrating the idea of the structure and history of the formation of this river valleyfragment are mainly based on the diagram by I. Hofshtein developed in the 1960–1970s and coincide with it in terms of boththe number of terraces discovered here and the determination of their age. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of the pre-Carpathian fragment of the river valley, in particular in the study of the ancient terraces of the Dniester River, which until now have been "hidden" in the leveling surfaces of Loyeva and Krasna. Low-Upper Pleistocene terraces, which are spread mainly within the borders of the Upper Dniester, Stryi-Zhydachiv, Halytsia-Bukachiv basins and within the 5–10-kilometer sections of the Dniester valley and the valleys of its separate Carpathian tributaries located at the foot of the Carpathian escarpment, remain less studied. Until recently, the youngest of the Pleistocene terraces of the Dniester River was considered to be the Kolodiyiv terrace, the loose accumulations of which are based on alluvium of the Horohiv (Prylutskyi) period. Below it, the first supraflood terrace of Late Pleistocene-Holocene age is developed. On the basis of the analysis of the morphological parameters of the terrace developed within the Halytsia-Bukachiv basin, the analysis of the cross-section of its loose accumulations, a terrace was identified that corresponds to the second supraflood terrace of the Vytachiv-Buzka period, developed in Middle Transnistria. As a result of the identification of the terrace, which we consider as the second supraflood, as well as the terraces discovered within the distribution of the Loyeva and Krasnaya leveling surfaces, the total number of terraces developed in the pre-Carpathian part of the valleys and the Dniester reached twelve: the late Pleistocene-Holocene first floodplain terrace; late Pleistocene second (Tustan) and third (Kolodiiv) floodplain terraces; Middle Pleistocene fourth (Jezupil) and fifth (Maryyampil) floodplain terraces; early Pleistocene sixth (Halytsky), seventh (Biskovytsky), eighth (Susidovytsky), ninth (Dubrivsky), and tenth (Torganovytsky) supraflood terraces; Pliocene (?) eleventh (Starosilska) and twelfth (Krasnianska) supraflood terraces. Key words: terrace; morphology; Dniester valley; loess; alluvium; stratigraphic horizons.

Full textAbstract:
S. Rudnitsky’s research continued in Podillya; he went on studying the morphology of genesis and history of the relief of the Carpathian and pre-Carpathian Dniester basins. Many years of expeditionary research (1903-1912) resulted in the monograph “Prerequisites for Studying Morphology of the Podilsky Catchment Area of the Dniester”, which was recommended for publication at the meeting of the Mathematical & Nature Descriptive section of the Shevchenko Scientific society (NTSh) on April 17, 1912. This work provides detailed morphographic and morphometric characteristics of the Galician Podillya relief. The monograph also reports on the formation of the Dniester basin river system, geological structure, paleogeomorphology, as well as morphological & genetic problems. In studying the Podilsky Dniester Basin, S. Rudnytsky made numerous conclusions on the problems of morphological regionalization, the relief history, in particular the formation of the Dniester valley and its Podilsky tributaries, which have not lost their relevance to this day. We can distinguish the following major points among the main findings of S. Rudnitsky's research of morphogenesis and the evolution of the Podilsky Dniester basin relief: (1) Geomorphological division of the Galician Podillya with districts allocation: Roztochya, Vereshchytsky-Shchyrets lowland, Mykolayiv-Bobretskyi “horbovyna” (land surface with hills) (Pidopillya), Opilsky “horbovyna”, Podnistriya, Podillya and Gogoloro-Kremenetsk Ridge; (2) Clarification of the history of individual regions development: the erratic Scandinavian material in Roztochya is mixed (Scandinavian-Carpathian); it is deposited by fluvia-glacial flows and represented up to altitudes of 380 m; (3) In the periglacial Pleistocene period, almost all the sands of the main areas had eolian processes; (4) Confirmation of the Podillya geological division into western and eastern with five morphological bands, proposed by W. Teisseyre; (5) Justification of the morphotectonic scheme of Podillya development, connected with tectonic elevations of the Hologoro-Kremenets Ridge, which caused the current inclination of the Podolsk hills to Southeast-East; (6) Statement that the tectonic lines of Berdo-Nârul and Kovalivka-Smykivtsi characterize the Paleozoic Platform of Podillya as a typical tectonic horst; (7) Detailed description of the Dniester “rinyshcha” (alluvial deposits) with the Carpathian material present in Podniester, Opil and Podillya itself, which are present as a strip at a distance of 14-20 km from the modern Dniester river bed; (8) Based on literary sources and his own research, the scientist came to the conclusion that there is “eolian” loess in the “rinyshcha”, sands and alluvial clay; (9) It is argued that the old Nadnistryan rivers cannot be older than the planation surfaces of the Carpathians and Pre-Carpathians; (10) Formation of the Dniester valley pattern in Pliocene and Pleistocene, which determined the direction of the flows of the left tributaries and their capture by the Western (Zakhidny) Bug river sources. Finally, in his “Prerequisites for Studying Morphology of the Podilsky Catchment Area of the Dniester” S. Rudnitsky managed to use a complex morphogenetic approach to studying the region relief for the first time geomorphological literature: from standardized morphological descriptions through systematization of the morphological structure of the region to the historical genetic interpretation of the main features of relief morphology. Key words: morphological districts; Dniester catchment area (basin); Naddnistriansky “rinyshcha” (alluvial deposits); glacial erratic material; fluvia-glacial deposits; free and entrenched meanders; “horbovyna” (land surface with hills); Podillya.

The article analyzes the concept of green routes and the peculiarities of their distribution and development in the countries of Western Europe. The activity of initiators of green ways in Ukraine is explored. The basic principles of the concept of sustainable development are set forth. The main components of the Green Way are described, in particular: the main axis “backbone trail” is marked, the network of various thematic trails and local routes is marked, the tourism product is consistent with the principles of sustainable tourism, there is regional partnership and a route coordinator, local initiatives are aimed at protecting the natural and cultural heritage The specified stages of the creation of the Green Way: Stage I: “Organization”, Stage II: “Visualization”, Stage III: Promotion and Distribution of the Tourist Product, Stage IV: “Support for Local Initiatives”, Stage V: “Creating Infrastructure on the Itinerary”. Three Greenways created in Ukraine are analyzed in detail. The first of them – “Valley of Two Years” was designed in 2016 in Kiev-Svyatoshinsky district of Kiev region. The peculiarity of this Green Way is primarily the activity of local residents. Thanks to their efforts, traditional activitiesnow include fairs, artistic and other events, triathlon and horse riding competitions, cycling routes. The River Irpin, which, despite overregulation, has preserved many features of the “wild” river, is now a venue for rafting. “Honey Circle” – the basis of the way is formed by theHoryn and Sluchabasins , passes along or near the river valleys. That is why the honey circle is the key to hiking in thecountryside – green, ecological, active, sports and other niche activities, as well as health and recreation. “PradavniiVelet – the basis of the route is formed by the valley of the Dniester River (almost 300 km) and its left-hand tributaries the Koropets, Strypa, Dzhurin, Seret, Tupa, Nichlava and Zbruch. The main tourist resources of the region are concentrated in the river valleys. That is why green (including ecological) tourism is the basis of the concept of development of tourism in the Dniester area. A new green way project has been proposed on the territory of the Lviv region, namely in Yavoriv district. Travelling inRoztochya, tourists, besides many nature reserve objects, can explore many architectural and archaeological sites, sacred buildings, and visit theirmuseums and galleries to see their history.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the main stages of studying of the floodplain and the first floodplain terrace of the Dniester river within the Eastern Carpathian Foreland fragment of the valley, and evaluates the results of existing studies. It is discovered that during all the stages of the research morphological and morphometric parameters of the floodplain and the first floodplain terrace of the Dniester river, morphology and facie structures of the alluvial accumulations, as well as palynological analyses of biogenic accumulations buried in an alluvial series are performed. The results obtained during the palynological analyzes are used to date the erosion-accumulation cycles and to reconstruct the physical-geographical conditions of the time of the floodplain and the first floodplain formation of the Dniester terrace. The radiocarbon dating of biogenic sediments buried in alluvial series is also actively conducted at the last stage of the research. The array of geological and geomorphological information collected at the first two stages of research made it possible to establish that, first, the first floodplain terrace and floodplain were formed during the Holocene in the Dniester Valley. The first floodplain terrace (the height of which reaches 4–6 m above the Dniester riverbed) can be considered as a high floodplain which is often covered by high floods. The terrace is accumulative, but unlike all other terraces of the Dniester it is devoid of the loess cover. In the cross-sections of its accumulations the deposits of the alluvium of the channel facies builted of pebbles are exposed and covered with the alluvium of the floodplain facies composed of sands, sandy loams and loams. The total thickness of alluvium reaches 9–10 m and it doesn’t varysignificantly downstream of the Dniester. Except the Upper Dniester basin, where the thickness of the alluvium increases to 10–18 m, and the layers of peat are found. The floodplain is 4–5 m above the Dniester riverbed and is built of alluvium of the channel facies, dominated by sand and pebble series. In someplaces floodplain is covered with sandy or loamy deposits of floodplain facies. Secondly, in the Eastern Carpathian Foreland part of the Dniester valley the course of fluvial morpholitogenetic processes was regulated not only by climatic changes and neotectonic movements, but also by human economic activity. During the XIX–XX centuries especially large-scale human influence was on the Dniester riverbeds by construction of flood ramparts, reclamation canals, etc. The results of recent geomorphological research conducted within the studied fragment of the river valley particularly palynological and radiocarbon dating have significantly improved the idea of morphology, structure and history of floodplain formation and the first floodplain terrace of the Dniester. The research revealed that the accumulation of alluvium of the first floodplain terrace which is above the Dniester riverbed reaches 5,5–6,5 (7) m and started to develop in the late Pleistocene (Bølling–Allerød interstadial) (13 000–11 000 years ago (GI–1)). Presumably in the early Dryas (11 000–10 000 years ago (GS–1)), the first floodplain terrace was dissected by the meandering channel of the Dniester. The alluvial deposits that fill these large paleomeanders are still well preserved and are often exposed in the ledges of the first terrace. The further development of the floodplain and first floodplain terrace of the Dniester river was taking place in several stages such as the end of the boreal, the beginning of the atlantic, the end of the atlantic, subboreal, the beginning of the subatlantic, as well as during V–VI, X–XII and XIV–XVI centuries. These stages are identified in correlation with the cycles of humidification of the climate and the growth of fluvial activity of riverbeds (flood phases). As a result of the intensification of erosion-accumulation activity of the Dniester the two – three levels of Holocene floodplain were formed up to 4–5 m and 3–4 m high. The first traces of human activity within the studied fragment of the Dniester valley were dated by subboreal and recorded by the presence of grain pollen in the spore-pollen diagrams of Mainych (Upper Dniester Basin) and Tsvitova (Galician-Bukachiv Basin) sections. Key words: Dniester valley; floodplain; the first floodplain terrace; alluvium; phases of floods; Allerød; early Dryas; Holocene.

Full textAbstract:
The whole complex of terraces can be traced in the relief on the Vasyliv-Doroshivtsi area. Well-defined high terraces - XII (jr-kz), XI (bd-sv) and X (bv-br). The middle terraces in this area are narrow, poorly preserved in relief. The inner-canyon part of the Dniester valley is relatively wide, which contributed to the development and preservation of a full complex of lower (late Pleistocene) terraces: the fourth (kd-ts), third (pl-ud; fragmentary), second (vt-bg), first (df-pc) terraces, as well as Holocene high and low floodplains (hl). Researches of features of the structure of low terraces carried out on the basis of a survey of geomorphological surfaces, outcrops of terrace deposits, the analysis of boreholes, fossil vertebrate and mollusc faunas, and also results of long-term observations during archaeological researches of site Doroshivtsi 3. The first above-floodplain terrace (df-pc) is represented by small fragments. It is composed by channel facies of alluvium, represented mainly by pebbles. Above them the floodplain facies - fine- and medium-grained sand, light grey, obliquely and horizontally layered, are bedded. The floodplain alluvium is covered by a low-thickness stratum of loess-like loams (pc). To the west of Doroshivtsi Village, near the Hlynyshche site, the upper layer of sediments is partially destroyed and buried under the sediments of a high floodplain. Only the remains of the lower part of the section are partially present. That is, in this area, the roots of the first terrace serve as the base of the high floodplain. The second terrace (vt-bg) is most clearly manifested morphologically due to the ledge, which stands out quite clearly. It is better developed within the Vasyliv Village. Here it is quite extensive, its surface is planned. In the area of Doroshivtsi, this terrace is narrow, severely damaged, occurs in fragments. The basement of the terrace is located at the height of about 1 m above the current level of the Dniester River. It is composed of dark green-grey argillite and coarse-grained Devonian sandstones. The structure of the terrace is as follows: the channel facies (gravel-pebble deposits with inclusions of boulders and sand aggregate) and powerful floodplain facies of alluvium: rhythmic layers of sands, sands and loams with signs of embryonic soils); complex of fossil soils and forests (forest-like loams) - bg-pc. Numerous remains of molluscs, mega- and microfauna, remains of material culture were found in the terrace deposits (Doroshivtsi 3 site). The third terrace (pl-ud) is weakly expressed and narrow. There are no outcrops of its sediments here and no boreholes. Therefore, currently, its structure in the study area remains unknown. However, in the lower part of the sediments of this terrace during the digging of the well were found fragmented remains of a mammoth (Mammuthus sp.) and a red deer (Cervus elaphus) with traces of disposal (site Vasyliv II). At another location, a mammoth tooth was found, which we identified as Mammuthus primigenius cf. jatzkovi. Fourth terrace (kd-ts). Terrace sediments are exposed to the west of Vasyliv, also discovered by a borehole near the basement of the white-stone temple of the XII-XIII centuries. According to drilling data, the top of gravel here is at the height of 7 m above the boundary level of the Dniester River. Above the gravel are bedded (from bottom to top): a layer of chernozem-like paleosol (pl); the light yellow loess with a columnar structure (ud); brown paleosol (vt); the pale yellow, carbonate loess, with also a columnar structure (bg). According to the terraces' classification by their location in the river valley, low terraces in the study area of the Middle Dniester are incised. According to the genetic classification, they can be considered accumulative, closed- or hidden-socle. Thus, based on the row of data, the peculiarities of the structure of low terraces, the composition of sediments and their approximate geological age have been established. New sections of the second and fourth terraces are described based on the study of outcrops and drilling data. New locations of vertebrate and mollusc fauna have been discovered in the deposits of 2-4th terraces in the village of Vasyliv. The considerable width of the second floodplain terrace in the Vasyliv area in comparison with Doroshivtsi testifies to the prospects of finding here the remains of material culture, similar to the Doroshivtsi-3 site. As a result of research, we established that due to the different history and mechanism of sediment formation, the structure and composition of sediments of the same age terraces may differ. This fact should be considered when allocating terraces and rely not only on the features of the cover part of the sediments but on the set of characteristics of a terrace. The questions of the peculiarities of the fourth and first above-floodplain terraces' structure, as well as the depth of basement of the high floodplain, remain unclear.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractInformation about the morphology and alluvial sediments of the Dnieper Valley is reviewed. The Dnieper Valley originated in the Late Miocene. The Middle Dnieper Valley is an intercontinental alluvial basin and the Lower Dnieper Valley is a shallow canyon that ends with a delta. Identification of the alluvial dynamic facies (channel, overbank, abandoned channel) is crucial for stratigraphical analysis. The dynamic facies form regular sequences - alluvial suites that combine into series. Individual suites and series are characterized by their mode of occurrence, facies composition, lithological features and expression in the modern landscape. Their stratigraphie position is established with reference to index beds and palaeontological, geochrono-logical and archaeological research, allowing them to be correlated along the valley. Correlation between different parts of the Dnieper system uses a combination of facies and geomorphological analyses, whereas correlation with other river systems makes use of mammalian and molluscan biostratigraphy. Global events (marine regressions and glaciations) that brought about similar reactions in different fluvial systems can be also used for correlation.

Habitat fragmentation can influence the genetics of a population through the direct loss of genetic diversity, and by the genetic processes that occur as a result of small remnant populations or the geographic isolation of populations. I examined the population genetics of two woodland amphibian species in localities with different land-use histories. The wood frog (Rana sylvatica) and the red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) use the same general habitat but differ with respect to a few key life-history characteristics relating to dispersal. I then compared between species the relative influence each land-use scenario had on the population genetic structure. I found that habitat fragmentation affected the population genetics of the two amphibians and did so differently for each species. The differential population genetic response of these two amphibians to habitat fragmentation reinforces the important role of life-history characteristics in how the genetic structure of a population is shaped over time.

Full textAbstract:
Research focusing on the political economy of Mississippian mound centers in the middle Savannah River valley has prompted a reevaluation of current interpretations regarding societal complexity. I conclude the clearest expression of classic Mississippian riverine-adaptation is evident at centers immediately below the Fall Line with their political ties to chiefdom centers in the Piedmont, and especially Etowah. By contrast, those centers on the interior Coastal Plain were politically autonomous with minimal signatures in social ranking. The scale of appropriated labor and resulting level of surplus production, necessitated by upland settlement on the Aiken Plateau, fostered social contradictions making communally-oriented and decentralized societies more sustainable than hierarchical forms.

Beyond this, with less than 1 percent of the tallgrass prairie remaining, this work showcases an important aspect of our region few know. Why is this important? The tallgrass helped create the fertile soil, which is the major reason for the high yields of wheat and other crops, and agriculture is the major industry in this region. Also, many of the native plants that once grew abundantly were eaten as food or used as medicine. A ?cornucopia? of food existed in this region. There is a loss in our Red River Valley that few know. This region was actually a complex environment, which looked remarkably simple to most who viewed the ?sea of waving grass.? This environmental history researches the changes to the surrounding tallgrasses, wetlands, and rivers, as transitions occurred from Native American to Euro-American settlers who adjusted to this new prairie environment, changing the natural world in the process as well. Geology and geography help us to understand the issues of floods in this very young river valley. This research also addresses how changes since the early 1900s have dramatically altered our rivers and wetlands, which were a major part of this landscape, and how this has impacted our lives today. My original quest was to discover how this region appeared with its differing grasses and forbs, riparian forests along the rivers, and the thriving wildlife ? bison, deer, elk, bears, wolves, and coyotes. In addition, I sought to understand how others had lived here before Euro- Americans settled in this Red River Valley. All of this is important for us to better understand our environment and ourselves and to learn from our past for our present lives as well. This is a very unique environment and we are wealthy beyond measure in our residence upon it.

Full textAbstract:
The lower Naknek River in southwestern Alaska dissects thick (~20m) exposures of Pleistocene glaciogenic sediments. The stratigraphy of the deposits and their physical, geochemical, mineralogical, and geochronological properties were studies to determine the number and timing of glacial advances represented. Multivariate data reduction methods (cluster and principal component analyses) were applied to the data to differentiate diamicton beds. The results show a clear separation of drift of the lower Naknek River valley from drift of northern Bristol Bay and from younger, moraine-comprising drift up valley. Within the Nak:nek River valley, however, there is no stratigraphic trend to the clusterings. The similarity between diamicton units suggests that most of the drift in the Naknek River valley is from one advance, or that the clustering methods were not sensitive to detect multiple advances from overlapping source areas. At South Naknek beach, a marine-lag horizon separates two diamictons. Based on amino acid (D/L) ratios in fossil molluscs, this lag is correlated with the last interglacial (-125 ka). The underlying diamicton records an advance> 125 ka. A thermoluminescence age estimate on a lavabaked diamicton at Telephone Point provides a minimum age on a lower diamicton of 250 ± 20 ka. The age of the overlying, regionally extensive drift sheet is constrained by an optically stimulated luminescence age, amino acid ratios, and radiocarbon ages from drift at Halfmoon Bay. These data, together with sedimentologic evidence for glacial-estuarine conditions, suggest that ice advanced into a tidally influenced estuary during a time of high (about + 12 m) relative sea level about 80 ka. Mak Hill and Johnston Hill, ridges previously mapped as moraines, are reinterpreted as ice-thrust ridges, and may not represent stable ice margins. The terms "Mak Hill drift" and "Johnston Hill drift" should be abandoned as discernable lithostratigraphic and climatological units, because they may not represent unique glacier advances, and because they appear to be lithostratigraphically indistinguishable.

Full textAbstract:
The farmers of piedmont Virginia's Tye River Valley adapted agriculture to a commercial frontier during the eighteenth century. This 'frontier agroecosystem' optimized labor returns by exploiting the stored fertility of mature ecosystems at the expense of conservation, but proved vulnerable to population growth and soil exhaustion. Out-migration increased after the Revolution, and economic growth was stymied by limited capital and consumer formation. The frontier agroecosystem could not provide the reliable commercial returns needed to promote development or stable neighborhoods.;During the early 1800s, prominent planters demanded that Virginia farming be intensified---that land productivity be maximized, rather than labor productivity. This strategy, many claimed, would anchor farm families while promoting economic independence. Those among the Tye Valley's ordinary farmers who practiced traditional intensification---increased land productivity through increased labor investment---found it led to declining labor productivity and lower profits, declining consumer opportunities, and diminished political influence. Practical planters turned to entrepreneurial intensification---enhancing per-acre productivity by importing improved seed, livestock, fertilizers, and machinery. This would also increase labor productivity. to attract the capital to purchase these imports, the Valley's leaders had to abandon colonial for capitalist politics, and practice the natural resource conservation necessary to use farmland to insure investments. The self-sufficiency idealized by republican 'high farmers' was compromised.;Many Tye Valley farmers, however, resisted the dependence of capitalist agriculture through a republicanism that accepted lower living standards and curtailed opportunity in return for agrarian independence. Middle and lower class farmers pursued traditional intensification on their land while trying to maintain common access to 'free' resources left over from the frontier property system. They also resisted attempts by the district's entrepreneurial planter-politicians to modernize Virginia's political economy and force the state into a capitalist economy.;High crop prices during the 1850s, however, helped the Valley's capitalist farmers reinvest profits in modernized cultivation. By 1860, they had gone far toward incorporating the landscape of the Tye River Valley into a capitalist agroecosystem. Popular resistance, however, slowed the development of capital needed for a full transformation. Valley farmers found entrepreneurial farming, elite republicanism, and traditional intensification in jeopardy in 1860.

This thesis explores the Quijos Valley ground stone economy in relation to

Period (AD 500 – 1500). In particular, this research examines the extent to which ground
stone craft production was a dimension of social differentiation during a period marked
by the greatest sociopolitical transformations. Ultimately, this research suggests that Late
Period ground stone production was an independent and part-time household activity, and
not an avenue of elite aggrandizement. However, aspects of this research have aimed to
show that certain forms of ground stone were important implements of household
maintenance, both socially and economically. This research is embedded within the
Quijos Valley Regional Archaeological Project (QVRAP) and has aimed to contribute to
our understanding of the development of social complexity within this region, as well as

Full textAbstract:
This thesis classifies Inuit place names and analyses their meanings to reveal Harvaqtuurmiut land-use history on the Harvaqtuuq [Kazan River], Nunavut Territory. The author collected previously unrecorded toponyms from the territory of this Caribou Inuit society, the Harvaqtuuq [Kazan River], and corroborated the data of earlier researchers. The Harvaqtuuq landscape was organized from foci of subsistence activities by application of Inuktitut geographical terminology and concepts. These foci moved over time and betray changing land-use patterns. The Harvaqtuuq was a frontier for Inuit, due to the need to depend on caribou, and due to the conflict engendered by overlapping Dene occupation. The presence of anthroponyms, and the paucity of pan-Inuit myths in the landscape allow for the speculative interpretation that the names support current theories of a recent arrival of Inuit to the Harvaqtuuq .

Full textAbstract:
In the now hyper-arid desert of the south coast of Peru, the natural desiccation of human remains provides a rare and unique opportunity for detailed study into the dietary practices of the people that once lived there. My research investigates the changing subsistence strategies of four groups from the lower Ica Valley from the Early Horizon to the Late Intermediate Period. This area witnessed a dynamic history over this 1500-year time frame, including the emergence and collapse of the Nasca, the spread of influence by the highland Wari empire and the local development of the Ica-Chincha trading society. Yet very little is known about the daily life of the individuals who inhabited this area. By reconstructing their diets it has been possible to examine the economic and land use practices they used as well as the ways in which they created and maintained social relationships using food. Mummified human remains (bone, teeth, hair and skin) from the four Pre-Columbian groups - Late Ocucaje (c.100 B.C.-200 A.D.), Late Nasca (c.450-650 A.D.), Wari (c.800-1000 A.D.) and Ica-Chincha (c.1200-1400 A.D.) - have been analysed for stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. The combination of multiple tissues has allowed analysis at the intra-individual as well as the intra- and inter-group levels creating a detailed and nuanced dietary reconstruction that incorporates dietary information about childhood, adulthood and over a short-term (monthly) period. The analysis of multiple tissues from the mummified remains has allowed a critical evaluation of the isotopic relationship between different tissues from the same individuals as well as their use for reconstructing dietary life histories. A review of all tissue isotopic comparisons including the data from this research shows that the relationships are difficult to constrain. The carbon and nitrogen isotope data show that terrestrial resources, both plant and animal, were the mainstay of the diet in all four periods. Maize was of varying importance over the time frame, with its contribution to the diet increasing over time. Marine resources did not contribute significantly to the diet, despite their abundance in the middens. The strongest case for social differentiation using food is from the Middle Horizon results, which show a high diversity between groups in terms of dietary choice and do not conform to the hypothesis based on the rich botanical data from the valley. From the observations from all four periods the existing theories about the socio-economic structure of the south coast have been critically evaluated in light of this new evidence.

AbstractDuring the continuous uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the genetic mechanism of giant ancient landslides in the deep-cutting rivers has attracted widespread attention. The formation of giant ancient landslides is closely related to the evolution history of rivers. Using the methods of field investigation and numerical simulation, the formation and evolution process of the Zhenggang giant ancient landslide of the Lancang river upstream is studied. The correlation between the landslide formation and the valley evolution is analyzed. The toppling deformation body evolution of a giant ancient landslide and its genetic mechanism is studied. The results show that the bank slope unloading caused by the down-cutting of the river is the main effect factor of the landslides occurrence. The structure of soft and hard inter-bedded, and rainfall infiltration are all important influencing factors. The bank slope unloading caused by the down-cutting of the river promoted the bending and toppling of the steep rock mass. The giant ancient landslide takes the toppling fracture zone as the slip zone slipped.

AbstractYolo Bypass (YB) is an engineered floodplain bypass for flood control in Sacrament River Valley in California, USA. Although the main purpose of the YB is to prevent the capital city of Sacramento and nearby riverside communities, the bypass provides wildlife habitats for various organisms and a good farming ground for multiple seasonal crops. Thus, we can refer to this facility as green infrastructure. We conducted an interview with key persons involving in the establishment and management of Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area (YBWA) in 2015 and reviewed the history of collaboration of various sectors with literature mining. Finally, we clarified the schematic relationship of stakeholders in the establishment and management of YBWA in which federal, state, and local entities and individuals take years of meetings, discussions, negotiation, and trust-building to reach consensus for restoration and management of the wildlife area.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The valley networks are the most common drainage feature on Mars and the feature most commonly cited as evidence for former warm and wet climatic conditions. Because of their resemblance to river valleys, they have generally been assumed to have formed by fluvial erosion. If formed by fluvial erosion, they imply warm, wet climatic conditions, for under present conditions, small streams would rapidly freeze and prevent development of a network. Since most of the valley networks are old, the former warm and wet conditions are proposed mainly for early in the planet’s history. These interpretations are, however, almost certainly too simplistic and the view of a warm, wet early Mars on which fluvial activity was common, changing early to the cold planet we know today, is likely to be only partly true, if true at all. The resemblance of the valley networks to terrestrial valleys is not exact. River channels, for example, are not observed within the valleys, as would be expected if they were fluvial valleys and other seemingly non-fluvial characteristics must be reconciled with a fluvial origin. In addition, while most of the networks appear to be very ancient, some, cut in young units, must have formed late. Thus, there are reasons to question both a purely fluvial origin and an exclusively old age for the networks. We are on questionable grounds if we invoke warm, wet terrestrial climatic conditions to explain the martian valleys without understanding the reasons for the differences between the terrestrial and martian examples, and also if we invoke wet conditions for the early period of intense network development, while calling upon some other circumstances to explain the younger networks. In this chapter, we examine the characteristics, distribution, ages, and mode of origin of the valley networks and attempt to draw some implications with respect to climate.

While I lived in Kathmandu, I regularly visited the American Mission Association. Members call it Phora, while some Nepalis call it “mini America.” It’s a club, and expatriates with the right kind of visa can apply to become members. It has a pool and tennis courts, a small gym, a field for baseball and soccer, a children’s playground, movie rentals, manicures and massages, a commissary and wifi café, and very polite Nepali staff. It has a certain colonial feel to it, which bothered me at times: yet it was also a haven where on a weekday afternoon I could exercise, read the papers, and eat lunch. Phora refers to phohara durbar, which in Nepali means “fountain palace.” The extensive, welltended grounds where dozens of expats and their children gather for hours on weekends was once the site of a Rana palace, a place for parties and dances, performances and cinema. It got its name because there were fountains throughout the gardens as well as inside the building. The ornate, neoclassical palace is long gone. In serious disrepair by 1960, the palace was demolished and the land sold to the American government. But phohara durbar has other claims to fame. It was also the site of the first piped water in the Kathmandu Valley. To explain how this came about, I’ll tell you a little more about the valley’s history and culture. The Lichchhavis and Mallas kept the city from growing beyond certain limits. They prohibited building outside a ring of shrines to various mother goddesses, like Kali. They knew that disturbing the land beyond that ring would be “killing your own food, your economic base,” says Sudarshan Tiwari, the architect and cultural historian who has reconstructed aspects of ancient life in the valley. There is still some agriculture in the Kathmandu Valley, because a few of the old landowners stubbornly hold on to their fields even as a sea of “wedding cake,” multistory, pastel houses engulfs them. But daily the green plots of rice and vegetables shrink as the valley succumbs, like the ancient water channels, to unplanned urban development.

Abstract MAJOR LONG, WITH JAMES, PEALE, AND seven others (Adams, Dougherty, Wilson, Duncan, Oakley, Verplank, and Sweney), set off from the Arkansas River not far from the site of Rocky Ford, Colorado, on July 24. They had six horses and eight mules, mostly in reasonably good condition. Heading south, in 100-degree heat, they traveled twenty-seven miles that first day, finding barely enough water to supply their needs and nothing but bison dung for fuel. James found a new and attractive coneflower, which he described as Rudbeckia (now Ratibida) tagetes. He also noted yellow flax (Linum rigidum) and a species of globe mallow. The latter was later described by John Torrey as Sida stellata (now Sphaeralcea angustif olia cuspidata). The next day they crossed several ravines, some of which contained box elders (Acer negundo). Near midday, they struck the Purgatoire River, in a valley flanked by sandstone cliffs nearly 200 feet high. They followed the Purgatoire for only a few miles before entering “the valley of a small creek, tributary from the south-east.” This was undoubtedly Chacuaco Creek, which they followed for two days. (The expedition’s route is by no means easy to follow over the next ten days. In “Major Long’s Route from the Arkansas to the Canadian River, 1820,” John M. Tucker has worked out the itinerary in convincing detail, and I shall follow his interpretation.)

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Following a loss of containment incident in July 2016 on a 16-inch diameter pipeline on the south slope of the North Saskatchewan River located in Saskatchewan, Canada, Husky completed extensive studies to understand and learn from the failure. The cause of the incident was ground movement resulting from a landslide complex on the slope involving two deep-seated compound basal shear slides as well as a near surface translational slide in heavily over consolidated marine clays of the Upper Cretaceous Lea Park Formation. One aspect of the studies has been to undertake structural analysis of the pipeline response to the loading imposed from the ground movement to minimize the potential for a similar occurrence from happening in the future and determine the integrity of the pipeline at the time of the assessment. Given the scale and complexity of the landslide, slope stabilization measures were not practical to implement, so repeat ILI using caliper and inertial measurement technology (IMU), in addition to a robust monitoring program was implemented. Realtime monitoring of ground movements, pipe strain and precipitation levels provided a monitoring and early-warning system combined with documented risk thresholds that identified when to proactively shut-in the pipeline. The methodology and findings of the slope monitoring and structural analysis that was undertaken to examine the robustness of the pipeline to withstand future landslide movement are presented herein. The work involved modelling of the pipeline history on the slope including loads that had accumulated in the original pipeline sections based on historical ILI results and slope monitoring. The pipeline orientation was parallel with the ground movement in the landslide complex, so the development of axial strain in the pipeline was the dominant load component, which are particularly damaging in the compression zone. The work provided recommendations and technical basis to continue safe operation of the pipeline with consideration of continuing ground movement and assisted the operator with decisions over the long-term strategy for the pipeline.

The paper outlines the history of the extraction of power from the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England, a source of abundant, reliable and vigorous water flow; and how this renewable power source provided power for the industrialization of what were formerly cottage occupations. The Romans introduced Water Wheels to Britain in the 1st century, which were used in the Derwent Valley to grind grist, mine lead, power iron forges and pump water. The prototype factories of the Industrial Revolution were built here, utilizing water power technology to drive textile mills. Cotchett’s Silk Mill, built in Derby in 1702, was followed by Lombe’s Silk Mill nearby in 1717, Then followed the cotton industry, led by Arkwright and Strutt in Cromford, the first “modern” mill, with 200 hands and round-the-clock operations, in 1771. After this success, Strutt built a larger mill in 1782 at Belper, powered by eleven 21 ft diameter water wheels. Samuel Slater, apprenticed during the building of this mill, emigrated secretly to America, where he enabled the first successful U.S cotton mill to be built in Pawtucket, R.I. The skills and traditions remain in the area, in such notable companies as Rolls-Royce and the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain works.

Full textAbstract:
Enbridge Pipelines (NW) Inc. (formerly Interprovincial Pipe Line (NW) Ltd.) owns and operates a buried 323mm diameter crude oil pipeline from Norman Wells, NWT to Zama, AB. The pipeline is approximately 869 km in length, with the route following a portion of the Mackenzie River Valley in the Northwest Territories. The pipeline routing is through discontinuous permafrost that has the potential to interact with the pipeline through frost heave, slope movement and thaw settlement that can produce extreme structural stresses in the pipe wall. Given the proper conditions, these stresses may localize and the pipeline will deform plastically, causing pipe wall wrinkling. This paper reviews the general structural design and discusses the inspection and monitoring of the structural integrity of the pipeline, as well as the intervention criteria used to determine when structural mitigation is required. This case study will discuss the discovery of a wrinkle from internal inspection pig data, field dig verification, installation and monitoring of field instrumentation and the pipeline repair technique that was utilized.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The introduction contains a general discussion of the concept of synergy as a social category, often related to architecture and bridges as elements of architecture. The revitalisation of Bilbao and the Lutosławski bridge in Lublin are mentioned as examples of synergistic processes. The link between synergy and strong aesthetic feelings is discussed on the example of the Rzędziński bridge in Wrocław. The fundamental focus of the paper is a potentially feasible process resulting in the development of vide valley of the Bystrzyca river near Pliszczyńska Street, which runs through the outskirts of Lublin. A heritage bridge, the renovation of which may initiate a whole process of creating a new urban recreational area, is also located there. It is a reinforced concrete bridge with an arch girder – a cylindrical shell, to be precise. In terms of form, the structure resembles the Monier arch bridge. There is no information of the 100 year old bridge in the archives which could testify to its role and history. The paper contains basic technical information concerning the bridge.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Six geodetic datums have been used by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mississippi River Commission (MRC), for river surveys in the Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV). These legacy elevation datums are the Cairo datum, the Memphis datum, the Mean Gulf Level (MGL), the Mean Sea Level (MSL), the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 1929, and the North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88). The official geodetic datum currently prescribed by the USACE is NAVD88 (USACE 2010). In addition to these different geodetic datums, hydraulic datums are in use by the USACE for rivers, lakes, and reservoir systems. Hydrographic surveys from the Mississippi River are typically based on a low water pool or discharge reference, such as a low water reference plane (LWRP), an average low water plane (ALWP), or a low water (LW) plane. The following technical note is intended to provide background information about legacy datums used in the LMV to permit comparison of historic maps, charts, and surveys pertaining to the Mississippi River in the LMV. The purpose of this report is to provide background information and history of different published horizontal and vertical datums used for presentation of hydrographic survey data from the Mississippi River. The goal is to facilitate understanding of differences with comparison to other historic surveys for change-detection studies along the river. Conversion values are identified herein for the earlier surveys where appropriate, and methods are presented here to evaluate the differences between earlier and later charts and maps. This report is solely intended to address the LMV area and historic surveys made there. This note is not applicable to areas outside of the LMV. Throughout this technical note, historic hydrographic surveys and data from the Memphis, TN, to Rosedale, MS, reach will be used as examples of features of interest for discussion purposes. Selected historic hydrographic survey sheets at Helena, AR, are included as Plates 1 to 3 (Appendix C) of this document and will be used as examples for discussion purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Preliminary mapping studies of Beechey Lake map area, through aerial photograph interpretation and limited legacy data, improve our understanding of surficial sediments and glacial history. The area is dominated by glacially and meltwater-scoured bedrock, hummocky moraine, till of varying thickness occasionally streamlined, and thin ridged till. Glacial lake sediments are predominantly in river valley lowlands. Glaciolacustrine delta and raised beach elevations range from 410 m to 230 m and 440 m to 290 m, respectively. Glaciofluvial deposits consist of eskers, ice-contact mounds, proglacial outwash plains, and terraces. Basal meltwater from regional ice stagnation and downwasting scoured subglacial and proglacial meltwater corridors and channels of varying width, many trending northwest. A glaciomarine delta was deposited in a high-sea marine environment following deglaciation in the northernmost map area. Streamlined till and bedrock landforms and striations indicate regional ice flow was dominantly northwest. A late westward and southwestward deglacial ice flow is preserved sporadically in the easternmost map area, and well preserved in the west-central and southwestern map areas, west of a discontinuous hummocky moraine belt.

Hayward, N., and S. Paradis. Geophysical reassessment of the role of ancient lineaments on the development of the western margin of Laurentia and its sediment-hosted Zn-Pb deposits, Yukon and Northwest Territories. Natural Resources Canada/CMSS/Information Management, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4095/330038.
Full textAbstract:
The role of crustal lineaments in the development of the western margin of Laurentia, Selwyn basin and associated sediment-hosted Zn-Pb deposits (clastic-dominated, Mississippi-Valley-type) in Yukon and NWT, are reassessed through a new 3-D inversion strategy applied to new compilations of gravity and magnetic data. Regionally continuous, broadly NE-trending crustal lineaments including the Liard line, Fort Norman structure, and Leith Ridge fault, were interpreted as having had long-standing influence on craton, margin, and sedimentary basin development. However, multiple tectonic overprints including terrane accretion, thrust faulting, and plutonism obscure the region's history. The Liard line, related to a transfer fault that bounds the Macdonald Platform promontory, is refined from the integration of the new geophysical models with published geological data. The geophysical models support the continuity of the Fort Norman structure below the Selwyn basin, but the presence of Leith Ridge fault is not supported in this area. The ENE-trending Mackenzie River lineament, traced from the Misty Creek Embayment to Great Bear Lake, is interpreted to mark the southern edge of a cratonic promontory. The North American craton is bounded by a NW-trending lineament interpreted as a crustal manifestation of lithospheric thinning of the Laurentian margin, as echoed by a change in the depth of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. The structure is straddled by Mississippi Valley-type Zn-Pb occurrences, following their palinspastic restoration, and also defines the eastern limit of mid-Late Cretaceous granitic intrusions. Another NW-trending lineament, interpreted to be associated with a shallowing of lower crustal rocks, is coincident with clastic-dominated Zn-Pb occurrences.

Full textAbstract:
This map area is situated within the Hyland Plateau and comprises the headwaters of the La Biche River. It is framed by the La Biche Range on the east, the Tlogotsho Range on the north, and an unnamed ridge along its western boundary. The map area was inundated by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the Late Wisconsinan glaciation, and ice advanced east to northeast across the region. Coalescence with the Laurentide Ice Sheet is considered to have occurred just east and north of this area. During deglaciation, ice retreated generally south and westwards. Prominent northward-aggrading ice-contact and proglacial deltas formed between retreating Cordilleran and Laurentide ice margins, within early stages of glacial Lake Nahanni. Well-developed cirque basins point to a prolonged glacial history that predates the Late Wisconsinan glaciation. Small lobate moraines extending into valley bottoms below these cirques suggests that during regional Late Wisconsinan deglaciation, upland ice persisted through a phase of late glacial-early Holocene alpine cirque glaciation.
