Abstract:
AbstractThe prevalence of canine Dirofilaria infection in Maio Island (Cape Verde) was analysed by serology, morphological and molecular identification of the parasite species. Blood and sera were collected from 150 dogs and 80 cats aged over 6 months from various localities of the island. DNA was extracted from blood and samples were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using microfilaria-specific primers. No Dirofilaria immitis was found in dogs while D. repens microfilariae were found in 5.3% of dogs and 6% were positive by PCR. The species identity was confirmed by sequencing of PCR products, which showed almost 100% homology with D. repens European sequences published in GenBank. No difference in Dirofilaria infection was observed between males and females or in dogs with different weights. However, older dogs and those from the western part of Maio Island were more frequently infected. No Dirofilaria was found in cats. This study represents the first evidence of D. repens in Cape Verde (West Africa) and highlights the need for implementing control measures and for a better surveillance of dirofilariosis in Africa.

Abstract:
Previous studies revealed high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), describing this species as prime reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to characterise, for the first time, the AMR and virulence profiles of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from 33 nesting loggerhead turtles of the island of Maio, Cape Verde. Cloacal, oral, and egg content swab samples (n = 99) were collected and analysed using conventional bacteriological techniques. Shewanella putrefaciens, Morganella morganii, and Vibrio alginolyticus were isolated from the samples under study. The isolates obtained from this loggerhead subpopulation (North-East Atlantic) revealed lower levels of AMR, compared with the results of studies performed in other subpopulations (e.g., Mediterranean). However, the detection of resistance to carbapenems and multiple antimicrobial resistance indices higher than 0.20, raises concern about the potential association of these animals to points of high antimicrobial exposure. Furthermore, virulence phenotypic characterisation revealed that the isolates presented complex virulence profiles, including the ability to produce biofilms. Finally, due to their pathogenic potential, and considering the evidence of illegal consumption of turtle-related products on the island of Maio, the identified bacteria may represent a significant threat to public health.

Abstract:
Abstract We describe the main reproductive characteristics (laying date, egg size, hatchling mass, and breeding success), chick growth, and patterns of provisioning in Lesser Noddies (Anous tenuirostris) on Aride Island, Seychelles, 1995–2002. The bulk of the population laid eggs between late May and late June in most years. Both hatching and fledging success varied significantly between years, with fledging success (2–92%) more variable than hatching success (28–91%). Productivity of less than 0.10 chicks per breeding pair occurred in 25% of the years. In 2001, egg volume did not differ significantly between hatched and unhatched eggs. Chick mass at hatching was significantly correlated with an egg volume index, but there were no correlations between egg size and either hatching date or linear growth rate. Around 40% of the Lesser Noddy chicks were fed at dusk. Chicks aged 0–5 and 6–10 days received significantly less food than older chicks. There was evidence of daily and stochastic variation in the foraging success of individual birds. Comparing similar studies, chicks of Lesser Noddies and Sooty Terns (Sterna fuscata) appeared more resistant to fluctuating food supplies than those of Roseate Terns (Sterna dougallii), indicating that, in tropical seas, slow growth and foraging farther offshore are more advantageous than faster growth and inshore feeding. Datas de Postura, Alimentação dos Filhotes e Sucesso Reprodutivo de Anous tenuirostris na Ilha de Aride, Seychelles Resumo. Neste estudo descrevemos as principais características da biologia reprodutiva (datas de postura, tamanho dos ovos, peso dos filhotes ao nascerem e sucesso reprodutivo), crescimento e padrões de alimentação dos filhotes em Tinhosa-de-barrete, Anous tenuirostris, na ilha de Aride, Seychelles, 1995–2002. Na maioria dos anos a postura ocorreu entre o fim de Maio e o fim de Junho. O sucesso de eclosão e o sucesso de sobrevivência das crias variaram significativamente entre anos, apresentando o sucesso de sobrevivência (2–92%) uma maior variação do que o sucesso de eclosão (28–91%). Uma produtividade inferior a 0,10 crias por casal reprodutor ocorreu em 25% dos anos. Em 2001, o volume dos ovos que eclodiram não diferiu significativamente do volume dos ovos que não eclodiram. O peso dos filhotes ao nascerem apresentou uma correlação significativa com o índice de volume dos ovos, mas não se obtiveram correlações entre o tamanho dos ovos e, a data de eclosão e a taxa de crescimento linear dos filhotes. Cerca de 40% dos filhotes de Tinhosa-de-barrete foram alimentados ao anoitecer. Os filhotes com idades entre 0–5 e 6–10 dias receberam significativamente menos alimento do que os filhotes mais velhos. Foram observadas variações diárias e estocásticas no sucesso de alimentação dos indivíduos. A comparação do presente estudo com estudos semelhantes, sugere que as crias de A. tenuirostris e de Sterna fuscata sejam mais resistentes a flutuações na disponibilidade de alimento do que as crias de Sterna dougallii. Isto indica que, em mares tropicais, uma menor taxa de crescimento e uma alimentação em zonas pelágicas são estratégias mais vantajosas do que uma taxa de crescimento rápida e alimentação em zonas costeiras.

Abstract:
This article explores the prerequisites for sustainable development of island territories of the Gulf of Peter the Great that retained their autonomy from continental Vladivostok – AskoldIsland, Popov Island, Reyneke Island, Rikord Island, Putyanin Island. A brief overview is provided on the development of islands in prerevolutionary and Soviet period, as well as at the turn of the XX – XXI centuries. It is noted, that the initial period of islands territorial development (late XIX – early XX centuries) is characterized with sustainable natural resource management based on consideration of the local landscape, natural and climatic conditions. Computer modeling of the annual course of wind and insolation regime of island territories is conducted for elaboration of the advanced models of sustainable natural resource management. This allowed determining comfort and discomfort landscape areas of the indicated islands for the three main seasons – winter, spring-summer, and summer. Typical terrain contributes to localization of the comfort and discomfort zones. At the same time, comfort and discomfort zone would be specific for each of the three seasons, which should be considered in arranging various types of recreation activities. Based on the results of studying the peculiarities of socioeconomic development of the islands and their landscape-climatic specificity, the author highlights three groups of islands and suggests models of sustainable development for each group: 1) Model of full-scale economic-recreational development with restoration of the collapsed ecological framework  (Popov Island and Putyanin Island); 2) Model of autonomous development with restoration of the collapsed ecological framework (Reyneke Islan); 3) Model of economical development (Askold Island, Rikord Island). The author develops the schemes of territorial development of the islands, and suggests projects on formation of sustainable environment of rural localities and tourist routs.

Abstract:
This work analyses the possibility of extracting energy from the ocean waves around the Leeward Islands of Cabo-Verde. This study was based on 31 years of wave and wind data, obtained through the SOWFIA - Streamlining of Ocean Wave Farm Impact Assessment, at 16° N-24° W. Then, the SWAN - Simulating Waves Nearshores - was used to perform the wave transformations to the shore. As the number of waves is very high, the cluster analysis and the Non-Parametric Wilcoxon Test were used to reduce the computing time by SWAN. The results pointed to the South of these islands and the East Coast of Maio island as the best locations for wave energy extraction. The use of the power matrix of some commercial devices that are available, such as Wave Dragon (7 MW), Pelamis (750 kW) and AquaBuoy (250 kW), allowed to estimate the best devices scale factors that leads to their best Capacity Factor (CF), at the target regions. Thus, the Wave Dragon is the most indicated device (CF=71%), at the scale of 0.3, followed by AquaBuoy scaled by 0.4 (CF=57%) and Pelamis scaled by 0.5, with CF=26%. However, in a natural scale, AquaBuoy is the most efficient device (CF = 18.8%) in comparison to the Wave Dragon (CF=17%) and Pelamis (CF=15%). AquaBuoy presented the best cost-benefit ratio (C/B = 0.135 USD/kWh) followed by Wave Dragon (C/B= 0.235 USD/kWh) and Pelamis (C/B = 0.390 USD/kWh). The limitation of the number of Wave Energy Converters to implement the wave power plant affects negatively the cost of its investment.©2019. CBIORE-IJRED.

Tese de Mestrado em Estudos Africanos
Esta dissertação tem como problemática o desenvolvimento em situação insular e como objetivo identificar as perspetivas (cenários) de desenvolvimento da ilha do Maio, no contexto do desenvolvimento de Cabo Verde e o papel que os atores do desenvolvimento desempenham nesta ilha (tutelas). A significativa melhoria dos indicadores socioeconómicos de Cabo Verde, por um lado, e a persistência de algumas carências, por outro, evidenciam as desigualdades no contexto em estudo. Com base nestes pressupostos, e a partir de uma perspetiva integrada do desenvolvimento e da sua perceção pelos atores, serão analisados os fatores que conduziram à boa performance do país, e, especificamente, o caso da ilha do Maio, evidenciando as suas potencialidades, oportunidades, ameaças e fraquezas. Baseado num trabalho de campo na ilha do Maio, com entrevistas aos atores fundamentais do desenvolvimento, pretende-se saber se a situação da ilha do Maio contribui para a boa performance de Cabo Verde ou para acentuar as assimetrias existentes. Isto porque, nalgumas ilhas, o progresso é muito mais lento e também pelo facto de a ilha do Maio apresentar algumas potencialidades que poderão contribuir para o desenvolvimento da ilha e do país em geral. Espera-se que os cenários encontrados e a discussão das tutelas possam servir como instrumento de apoio às tomadas de decisão
This dissertation intends to analyse the problems in development of insularity with the finality of identifying the perspective (scenarios) in the context of Cape Verde’s development and the role played by the actors in the development (guardianship) of this island. The significant improvement in socioeconomic indicators, on the one hand, and the persistence of some needs, on the other, places the question of inequality in the country as the base for this study. Based on these assumptions, and from an integrated perspective of development and its perception by the actors, we will analyse the factors that led to the country’s positive performance, and specifically the case of the Island of Maio by showing its potential, opportunities, threats and weaknesses. Based on field work carried out on the Island of Maio and interviews with actors involved in development, this analysis intends to find out if the Island of Maio has helped in the good performance of Cape Verde or if it has contributed towards accentuating the existing inequality. The reason is that progress in some islands is much slower than in others and, since the Island of Maio shows some potential, this could help in the development of the Island and of the country in general. It is expected that the scenarios found and the discussion concerning guardianship may serve as a tool to support decision making.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) have been suggested as carriers of potential zoonotic pathogens and prime reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant and virulent bacteria. In the present study, the isolation of Gram-negative bacteria of the Cape Verdean loggerhead subpopulation, currently believed to be the largest subpopulation of this species worldwide, is described for the first time. This study aimed to characterize the aerobic and facultative anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria of the loggerhead colony of the Island of Maio, to evaluate their pathogenic potential and to unveil both the impact on sea turtles’ conservation and the underlying public health risks resulting from interactions with these animals and the consumption of turtle-derived products. Cloacal, oral and egg content swab samples from 33 nesting loggerheads (n = 99) were analysed regarding the presence of Gram-negative bacteria and the respective antibiotic resistance and virulence profiles. Conventional bacteriological techniques were applied. Shewanella putrefaciens (26.32%), Vibrio alginolyticus (21.05%) and Morganella morganii (21.05%) were the most prevalent species. A low prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (15.79%) was detected, and no multidrug-resistant isolates were identified. The identified bacterial species revealed the ability to produce numerous virulence factors, including hemolysins (100.0%), DNases (89.47%), lipases (78.95%), biofilms (73.68%), proteases (52.63%), lecithinases (21.05%), and gelatinases (15.79%). These findings suggest that due to the low anthropogenic impact observed in both their nesting (the Island of Maio) and foraging sites, this loggerhead subpopulation may be less exposed to antimicrobial compounds. Furthermore, Gram-negative bacteria isolated from these turtles may be less susceptible to acquiring resistance genes from environmental bacteria via horizontal gene transfer. Nevertheless, the presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria expressing virulence factors may threat both sea turtles’ and human’s health.
RESUMO - PERFIS DE RESISTÊNCIA A ANTIBIÓTICOS E VIRULÊNCIA DE BACTÉRIAS GRAM-NEGATIVAS ISOLADAS DE TARTARUGAS MARINHAS COMUNS (CARETTA CARETTA) DA ILHA DO MAIO, CABO VERDE - A tartaruga-marinha-comum (Caretta caretta) é conhecida por ser portadora de agentes potencialmente patogénicos e zoonóticos, e um relevante reservatório de bactérias virulentas e resistentes aos antibióticos. O presente estudo descreve, pela primeira vez, o isolamento de bactérias Gram-negativas da subpopulação de tartarugas-comuns de Cabo Verde, a qual se estima ser a maior população mundial desta espécie. Este estudo teve como objectivo a caracterização de bactérias Gram-negativas aeróbias e anaeróbias facultativas da colónia de tartarugas-comuns da Ilha do Maio, a avaliação do seu potencial patogénico e o respectivo impacto na conservação de tartarugas marinhas e do potencial risco para saúde pública, resultante de interações com estes animais e do consumo de productos derivados de tartarugas. Neste trabalho foram analizadas amostras de zaragatoas da cloaca, cavidade oral e ovos de 33 tartarugas comuns fêmeas (n = 99), de modo a isolar bactérias Gram-negativas e os respectivos perfis de resistência a antibióticos e virulência. Para o efeito, foram usados métodos de bacteriologia convencionais. As espécies isoladas mais prevalentes foram Shewanella putrefaciens (26,32%), Vibrio alginolyticus (21.05%) e Morganella morganii (21.05%). Foi detetada uma baixa prevalência de bactérias resistentes (15.79%), e não foram identificados isolados multirresistentes. As espécies bacterianas identificadas revelaram a capacidade de produzir vários factores de virulência, incluindo hemolisinas (100.0%), DNases (89.47%), lipases (78.95%), biofilmes (73.68%), proteases (52.63%), lecitinases (21.05%), gelatinases (15.79%). Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que, devido ao reduzido impacto antropogénico observado nos locais de nidificação (Ilha do Maio) e de alimentação da subpopulação em estudo, esta estará menos exposta a compostos antimicrobianos. Além disso, bactérias Gram-negativas isoladas neste estudo, poderão estar menos suscetíveis à aquisição de genes de resistência provenientes de bactérias ambientais, via transferência horizontal de genes. Contudo, a presença de bactérias potencialmente patogénicas e com a capacidade de expressar diversos factores de virulência representa uma ameaça tanto à saúde destes animais como à saúde humana.

Objective: To estimate and characterize the dog and cat population on Maio Island, Cape Verde, in order to provide a baseline to set up a syndromic surveillance system. Methods: The study was carried out in the course of Vétérinaires Sans Frontières - Portugal mission. One team applied questionnaires in six localities to classify the animals according to their age, gender, sterilization and parasites control status, body condition, skin changes and other observations, degree of dependence and restriction and recorded the coordinates of feeding places for each animal. Other team registered animal’s clinical information in Porto Inglês where companion animal health and welfare campaigns were performed. Geographic information systems tools were used to process the data and linear regression models were created with the number of houses as only predictor variable to estimate dog and cat populations. Results: In the observed dog population (n=457), 19.7% of the animals were sterilised, 23% dewormed; 1% was classified as feral and 0.88% as neighbourhood dogs. For cats (n=306), the results were 13.7%, 16%, 0.33% and 2.29%, respectively. The estimated population size on the island was 531 dogs and 354 cats. The models for these estimations were based on 400 m and 200 m resolutions respectively and resulted in an error of 7% when compared to survey results. Conclusions: This study highlights the potential of geographic information systems in population size estimates and praises the efforts done by non-governmental organizations on this island in order to promote public health.
Resumo - ESTIMATIVA E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DA POPULAÇÃO DE CÃES E GATOS NA ILHA DO MAIO, CABO VERDE: INTEGRAÇÃO ENTRE DADOS DE UM RECENSEAMENTO E IMAGENS DE DETECÇÃO REMOTA - Objectivo: Estimar e caracterizar a população de cães e gato na ilha do Maio, em Cabo Verde, de modo a recolher informação para implementar um sistema de vigilância sindrómica. Métodos: O estudo foi realizado no decurso da missão dos Veterinários Sem Fronteiras - Portugal. Uma equipa realizou questionários em seis localidades para classificar os animais de acordo com a sua idade, género, esterilização e controle de parasitas, condição corporal, alterações cutâneas e outras observações, o grau de dependência e de restrição e, registou ainda, as coordenadas dos locais de alimentação para cada animal. Outra equipa registou a informação clínica dos animais em Porto Inglês durante as campanhas para promover a saúde e o bem-estar dos animais de companhia. Foram utilizadas ferramentas de sistemas de informação geográfica para processar os dados e foram criados modelos de regressão linear, tendo o número de casas sido definido como única variável independente para estimar a população de cães e gatos. Resultados: Na população de cães observados (n = 457), 19,7% dos animais estavam esterilizados, 23% desparasitados, 1% foi classificado como não tendo dono e 0,88% como animais de bairro. Para gatos (n = 306), os resultados foram de 13,7%, 16%, 0,33% e 2,29%, respectivamente. A estimativa da população na ilha foi de 531 cães e 354 gatos. Os modelos para estas estimativas foram construídos com base nas resoluções de 400 m e 200 m respectivamente e resultaram num erro de 7% quando comparado com os resultados do recenseamento. Conclusões: Este estudo destaca o potencial dos sistemas de informação geográfica na estimativa de populações animais e enaltece os esforços feitos por organizações não-governamentais nesta ilha, com o objectivo de promover a saúde pública.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the motif of the desert island in anglophone post-war popular culture as it coincides with the destabilisation of modern conceptions of identity. The extent to which desert island narratives either reify or challenge normative societal ideals is charted through the analysis of a range of texts across media: novels, radio, advertising, magazine cartoons, television, films and video games. Each text is placed into the context of a dialectic between discipline, the coercive method of state control theorised by Michel Foucault, and seduction, the technique of market dominance described by Zygmunt Bauman. Semiotic, psychoanalytic and spatial approaches are also used in close readings. The relationship of ‘home’ to ‘the Other’ was transformed by the advent of affordable international travel and communication; the thesis considers desert island texts since 1942, from the period since our planet has been opened up to tourism and global capitalism. This post-war timeframe maps onto the development of a self that is increasingly understood as fragmented, reflexive and alienated. A chronological approach is used in order to chart the ways in which desert island texts reflect this trend during what Bauman calls the liquid modern era. Power structures are examined but, rather than taking an overtly postcolonial stance, the thesis explores relationships between the ‘mainland’ and the castaway. The desert island is a useful site for exploring such concerns precisely because its desertedness, (presumed) Otherness and distance from ‘home’ allow it to function as an analogy of both the subject and the Other, and as an altered reflection of ostensibly normative continental life. Desert islands are often revealed to be inhabited; if the desert island represents a fantasy of agency in self-creation then the appearance of the Other represents the anxiety that that fantasy intends to dispel or seeks to embrace.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter depicts the state of the art in remote sensing for urban pollution monitoring, including urban heat islands, urban air quality, and water quality around urban coastlines. Recent developments in spatial and temporal resolutions of modern sensors, and in retrieval methodologies and gap-filling routines, have increased the applicability of remote sensing for urban areas. However, capturing the spatial heterogeneity of urban areas is still challenging, given the spatial resolution limitations of aerosol retrieval algorithms for air-quality monitoring, and of modern thermal sensors for urban heat island analysis. For urban coastal applications, water-quality parameters can now be retrieved with adequate spatial and temporal detail even for localized phenomena such as algal blooms, pollution plumes, and point pollution sources. The chapter reviews the main sensors used, and developments in retrieval algorithms. For urban air quality the MODIS Dark Target (DT), Deep Blue (DB), and the merged DT/DB algorithms are evaluated. For urban heat island and urban climatic analysis using coarse- and medium- resolution thermal sensors, MODIS, Landsat, and ASTER are evaluated. For water-quality monitoring, medium spatial resolution sensors including Landsat, HJ1A/B, and Sentinel 2, are evaluated as potential replacements for expensive routine ship-borne monitoring.

Abstract:
This chapter illuminates how a mixed cultural framework developed in the 17th century on Cabo Verde. Following commercial and ecological collapse at the end of the 16th century, the island Creole class broke decisively from metropolitan control and created a new economy. Based on subsistence and also on trading with passing maritime trade, this led to different influences in different islands depending on the accent of the trade – English salt trade from the island of Maio to Newfoundland, for instance. By the end of the 17th century, differing identities in the differing islands of Cabo Verde were emerging, based on balancing the internal agency and influences with the priorities of external global demand. The mixed Creole world that emerged, transcending the polar hierarchies of race common elsewhere in the Atlantic world, became a fundamental constituent of the hybrid Creole identity of Cabo Verde to this day.

Abstract:
Situated almost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Islands are not only one of the most isolated places in the world (Juvic and Juvic, 1998), but also one of one of the most isolated places in the world (Juvic and Juvic, 1998), but also one of the best known. Hawaii's acclaimed natural attractions stem from its volcanic origins - tall mountains deeply eroded by tropical rains and waterfalls into rugged gorges and valleys, a spectacular backdrop for world-class beaches, dramatic volcanic landscapes and forests. The state consists of six main islands: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai and Hawaii Island, also known as the Big Island. Two lesser known islands, Niihau and Kahoolawe, are not open to conventional tourism. Tens of smaller, much older islands, northwest of the main island chain, are protected by-and-large within the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.

Abstract:
Planimetric maps, views and three-dimensional representations for the fortification of two western Mediterranean islands: Elba and Palmaria (nineteenth century)The French expansion and domination in Italy between the Revolutionary Age and the Empire based on a widespread activity of territorial knowledge, which rested in the Corps of Engineers-Geographers and in the Military Genius the main actors. The paper summarizes the results of long research on this activity, carried out in the islands of Elba (Tuscany) and Palmaria (Liguria): two strategic islands in the western Mediterranean. The need to equip the territories dominated by the French with increasingly functional defenses, gave a strong impulse to the renewal of surveying and cartography, with the use of geodetic projections, views and three-dimensional models. Elba example is significant for the complete triangulation of the island connected to the Corsica one (with part of Sardinia and the smaller islands of the Tuscan archipelago). Geographer engineers such as Tranchot, Simonel, Moynet, Puissant worked on these activities and produced some maps and a small model of part of Elba. In the Palmaria example the three-dimensional reproduction (plan-relief) was contextual to the work of Genius engineers who produced a vast and organic corpus of maps of various scales, views, sketches and watercolors, suitable to represent the most complete visualization of the landscapes where to insert defensive buildings. The collaboration between French and Italian engineers took advantage of this first experience in designing some batteries. However, it was the post-Napoleonic decades that made Palmaria island a powerful “fortress island” to defend the entrance to the Gulf of La Spezia, where the military arsenal (commissioned by Cavour and built by Domenico Chiodo) arose.

Abstract:
The Arabian Gulf represents a significant water body and strategic pathway, which has pronounced regional and international benefits. This research investigated the evolution of the Arabian Gulf geosyncline. Furthermore, it explored the formation, geologic and tectonic settings of Halul and Al-Alyia offshore Islands, as examples of two different evolution models, within the emergence framework. The Arabian Gulf geosyncline has been emerged during the Cenozoic Era (Late Miocene-Pliocene Epoch), situated in the northeastern collisional marginal part of the Arabian Plate, as a foredeep geosyncline or basin, squeezed or crammed between the stable Arabian Plate and the mobile Euro-Asian Plate, along the subduction zone, within Zagros Mountain Fold Thrust Belt. Halul Island is situated to the northeast of the Greater Doha City and has great national economic value. It has a unique shape, elongated domal structure, oriented from South-West to North-East. The tectonic setting of Halul Island is classified as salt diapirism. The surface geology of this Island is dominated by carbonate rocks, mainly limestone and dolomitic limestone, and some igneous rock, such as basalt and Tholeiite. Al-Alyia Island is an integral part of the mainland. It is situated within the Greater Doha City's vicinity, in the eastern coastal zone. The Island is oriented from south-east to north-west. It is characterized by a gentle slope and low relief topography. The main rocks forming the island is the limestone and dolomitic limestone of the Simsima /Umm Bab Member of the Upper Dammam Formation of Tertiary age. This fact suggests that the island has a similar geologic setting to the mainland. This study revealed that the Halul Island evolution model is completely different from the evolution model of Al-Alyia Island, as Halul Island is a typical example model of salt dome Island, and remnants of the infracambrian salt basin, while Al-Alyia Island represents a different sedimentation model. This research has been carried out as part of the Environmental Science Center (ESC), Qatar University research agenda.

Abstract:
В береговой зоне отмечается проявление наиболее опасных природных катастрофических событий. Изучение этой зоны необходимо для более верного выбора оптимального пути ее развития. Очень ограниченное число исследований концентрируются на оценке опасности аномальных природных процессов. В данной работе была выполнена балльная оценка потенциальной опасности воздействия аномальных природных процессов на береговую зону островов Русский и Шкота. Для этого была проведена типология берегов островов Русский и Шкота. Всего на о. Русский выделено четыре типа и двенадцать подтипов берегов. На о. Шкота было выявлено четыре типа и восемь подтипов берегов. На обоих островах были определены коэффициенты расчлененности берегов. Этот показатель равен отношению между длиной берега и геодезической линии, соединяющей концы участка берега. Рассмотрены особенности воздействия опасных природных процессов (цунами, штормовых нагонов, оползней, обвалов, абразии) на побережье островов Русский и Шкота. На обоих островах эти процессы распространены в полной мере. Цунами подвержено в основном восточное побережье островов, штормовые нагоны развиты на всем протяжении берегов островов, а оползни и обвалы распространены достаточно дисперсно на обоих островах. Используя балльную систему оценки от 1 до 3, где 1 это наличие процесса (его слабое проявление), 2 среднее проявление, а 3 потенциальная опасность (для оползней и обвалов), были выявлены наиболее опасные типы и подтипы берегов островов. На о. Русский наиболее опасными подтипами берегов являются абразионноденудационные берега с обрывистым типом берегового уступа и узкими валунногалечными пляжами восточного побережья. На о. Шкота также наиболее опасными подтипами берегов являются абразионноденудационные берега с обрывистым типом берегового уступа и с узкими валунногалечными пляжами.The coastal zone researching is an important direction of geomorphology. In this zone is existed many hazardous natural processes. Coastal zone is a most important contact geosystem, where interacting different types of a nature use. In common, very important to investigate this zone for more correcting choice of optimal way of its solution. One of the main limited factors, that confine it are hazardous natural processes. Very limited number of scientists concentrates on hazardous anomalous natural processes estimation. It is revealed a scorecard method of potential hazard of natural processes influence on the Russky and Shkota coastal zone. It is given the coastal typology of Russky and Shkota islands. It is dedicated four coast types and twelve coast subtypes in Russky island. It is identified four coast types and eight coast subtypes in Shkota island. It is explicated a number of permeable intervals. This indicator is equal to relation between coastal length and geodesic line that connect both termination of a coast. Are examined special aspects of a hazardous natural processes influence (tsunami, storm surges, landslides, avalanches, abrasion) on Russky and Shkota Islands coast. These processes diffuse on both islands in full degree. Tsunami segregate on eastern islands coast, storm surges manifest on all stretch of islands coasts. Landslides and avalanches concentrate dispersily on both islands. By the use scorecard method from 1 to 3, where 1 is a process availability, but 3 is a potential hazard (for landslides and avalanches), it is revealed the most hazardous types and subtypes of islands coasts. The most hazardous subtypes of coasts for Russky Island are abrasion and denudation coasts with a steep type of coastal bench and narrow boulder and gravel beaches of eastern coast. The most hazardous subtypes of coasts for Shkota Island also are abrasion and denudation coasts with a steep type of coastal bench and narrow boulder and gravel beaches.

Abstract:
In support of future wind farm developments and to anticipate the intentions to create a European wide smart electricity grid, an offshore high voltage grid in the Belgian North Sea is under development to connect several wind farms to the Belgian onshore electricity grid, called Belgian Offshore Grid (BOG). This grid will contain the first artificial island (AI) to support electricity conversion and transport in the North Sea. The AI will be part of an offshore high voltage grid that shall connect a number of offshore wind farms to an onshore high voltage station. An accurate definition of site conditions and design criteria is of utmost importance for the design, operability and exploitation of the island and is the main driver for the cost of such islands. Deriving robust, but not over conservative site conditions and appropriate design criteria was one of the first challenges for the project. Based on in-situ measurements of geotechnical, geophysical and met-ocean conditions design parameters have been derived together with design criteria. This paper focuses on the methods and numerical models used to define the appropriate design input and the sensitivity analysis of the design criteria. In order to derive robust but not over conservative design parameters not only in-situ measurements are required, but also a combination of statistical analysis, numerical models and sensitivity analysis of design criteria and functional requirements. One of the driving design criteria for such works is the allowable overtopping discharge and related hydrodynamic forces on the infrastructure on the island, which largely influences the cost.

Abstract:
American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the U.S. roughly 2,300 air miles southwest of Honolulu and about 2,700 miles north of Australia. The largest and most populated island in American Samoa is Tutuila, which is located the territory’s historic capitol of Pago Pago. The territory is home to the world’s largest tuna cannery. Population growth has been dramatic and the island’s energy costs have increased substantially in recent years. The American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA) is responsible for solid waste collection and disposal in the territory with landfilling being the primary mode of waste disposal. However, limited available land on the main island due to volcanic topography limits the long-term use of landfilling as the island’s sole waste management tool. The relative isolated location of American Samoa and the instability of world oil markets have prompted ASPA to look at more environmentally and economically sustainable means of solid waste management. As an outgrowth of its research, ASPA submitted and received a technical assistance grant from the U.s. Department of the Interior to conduct an extensive waste composition study and EfW feasibility study to examine the advantages and disadvantages of efW for American Samoa. The results of these studies have been completed by SCS on behalf of ASPA, which is currently taking steps to permit and procure a 2.0 megawatt, modular efW facility that will go online in 2012 as part of a public private partnership. The lessons learned by SCs and ASPA during the course of the investigations are illustrative of the types of long-term, waste management and energy decision-making that many small communities will have to undertake to attain viable and sustainable alternatives.

Abstract:
Обсуждается понятие полиструктурности ландшафтного пространства. Объект исследований – остров Матуа с активным вулканом, отсутствием поверхностного стока и широким развитием селевых и лавинных комплексов. Разработана ландшафтная карта, основанная на структурно-генетических принципах, внутри островного ландшафта выделены три географические местности. Предложена модель нуклеарной системы с ядром в виде кратера вулкана, по степени влияния вулкана на природные комплексы выделены три зоны. В составе парадинамических геосистем, связанных однонаправленными потоками вещества и энергии, выделены и проанализированы селевые и лавинные геосистемы. Количественно оценены вещественные потоки, генерируемые вулканом, лавинами и селями. Установлено, что в современный период именно вулкан является основным системообразующим фактором для большинства природных комплексов острова. Сделан вывод о том, что полиструктурность ландшафтного пространства отчетливо проявляется в пределах острова и связана с формированием на одной территории разных типов геосистем, выделение которых основано на разных физических принципах. The concept of polystructurality of landscape space is discussed. The object of research is the island of Matua with an active volcano, lack of surface run-off and widespread development of debris-flow and avalanche complexes. A landscape map of the island's territory is presented, based on structural and genetic principles; three geographic areas are identified within the island landscape. A model of a nuclear system with a core in the form of a volcano crater has been developed; three zones have been identified according to the degree of the volcano's influence on natural complexes. Debris-flow and avalanche geosystems have been identified and analyzed as part of paradynamic geosystems connected by unidirectional flows of matter and energy. It has been established that in the modern period it is the volcano that is the main system-forming factor for most of the natural complexes of the island. It is concluded that the polystructural nature of the landscape space is clearly manifested within the island and is associated with the formation of different types of geosystems on the same territory, the identification of which is based on different physical principles.

Важнейшим условием достижения устойчивого развития прибрежноморского природопользования в заливе Петра Великого системы является морское пространственное планирование. Основой для этого является информация о природных комплексах территории и акватории, полученная на основе ландшафтного подхода. Ключевым районом для изучения пространственной организации ландшафтов прибрежных геоструктур стала территория острова Шкота и его подводных склонов. Для наземных ландшафтов было описано 49 наблюдательных пунктов, 4 профиля были заложены для подводных ландшафтов описано 64 наблюдательных пункта, проложено 18 профилей. Выделено 22 вида ландшафтов, из них 16 наземных, 6 подводных. Берега острова сформированы преобладанием абразивноденудационного и абразивного типов. В результате всестороннего изучения показаны особенности пространственной организации воздушных и водных природных комплексов. Особенностью исследуемой территории является экспозиция дифференциации ландшафтов между юговосточной и северозападной частями острова, обусловленная муссонной природой климата. Результаты полевых и картографических работ послужили основой для выбора зон интенсивного, умеренного и ослабленного взаимодействия наземных и подводных ландшафтов. Пространственное расположение зон взаимодействия четко иллюстрируется значительными различиями экспозиции. Результаты статистического сравнения ландшафтов суши и мелководья, окружающего остров, на основе картометрических характеристик указывают на неоднородность геоструктуры острова, обусловленную, прежде всего, сочетанием ландшафтообразующих факторов. The most important condition for achieving sustainable development of coastalmarine environmental management in Peter the Great Bay is marine spatial planning. The basis for this is information about the natural complexes of the territory and water area, obtained based on the landscape approach. The main area for studying the spatial organization of landscapes of coastal geostructures was the territory of the island of Shkota and its underwater slopes. For terrestrial landscapes, 49 observation points were described, 4 profiles were laid 64 observation points were described for underwater landscapes, 18 profiles were laid. 22 species of landscapes have been identified, of which 16 are terrestrial, 6 are underwater. The shores of the island are formed by the predominance of abrasivedenudation and abrasive types. Because of a comprehensive study, features of the spatial organization of air and aquatic natural complexes are shown. A special feature of the study area is the exposure of the differentiation of landscapes between the southeastern and northwestern parts of the island, due to the monsoon nature of the climate. The results of field and cartographic works served as the basis for selecting areas of intense, moderate and weakened interaction of land and underwater landscapes. The spatial arrangement of the interaction zones is clearly illustrated by significant differences in exposure. The results of a statistical comparison of the land and shallow water landscapes surrounding the island, based on the cartometric characteristics, indicate the heterogeneity of the islands geostructure, primarily due to the combination of landscapeforming factors.

Особенностью исследуемой территории является экспозиция дифференциации ландшафтов между юговосточной и северозападной частями острова, обусловленная муссонной природой климата. Результаты полевых и картографических работ послужили основой для выбора зон интенсивного, умеренного и ослабленного взаимодействия наземных и подводных ландшафтов. Пространственное расположение зон взаимодействия четко иллюстрируется значительными различиями экспозиции. Результаты статистического сравнения ландшафтов суши и мелководья, окружающего остров, на основе картометрических характеристик указывают на неоднородность геоструктуры острова, обусловленную, прежде всего, сочетанием ландшафтообразующих факторов. The most important condition for achieving sustainable development of coastalmarine environmental management in Peter the Great Bay is marine spatial planning. The basis for this is information about the natural complexes of the territory and water area, obtained based on the landscape approach. The main area for studying the spatial organization of landscapes of coastal geostructures was the territory of the island of Shkota and its underwater slopes. For terrestrial landscapes, 49 observation points were described, 4 profiles were laid 64 observation points were described for underwater landscapes, 18 profiles were laid. 22 species of landscapes have been identified, of which 16 are terrestrial, 6 are underwater. The shores of the island are formed by the predominance of abrasivedenudation and abrasive types. Because of a comprehensive study, features of the spatial organization of air and aquatic natural complexes are shown. A special feature of the study area is the exposure of the differentiation of landscapes between the southeastern and northwestern parts of the island, due to the monsoon nature of the climate. The results of field and cartographic works served as the basis for selecting areas of intense, moderate and weakened interaction of land and underwater landscapes. The spatial arrangement of the interaction zones is clearly illustrated by significant differences in exposure. The results of a statistical comparison of the land and shallow water landscapes surrounding the island, based on the cartometric characteristics, indicate the heterogeneity of the islands geostructure, primarily due to the combination of landscapeforming factors.

Abstract:
Economic reasons are among the basic explanatory factors of migration, whether international or internally within a country. In turn, migratory movements have effects on the economy in terms of economic growth in general, but also in the different markets (work, housing, consumer goods, etc.) and public services (education, health, social services, etc.). The purpose of this document is to offer an overview of these interactions between migration and the economy in the case of the Canary Islands. To do this, certain conceptual clarifications will be made initially involving the mutual determination of both processes, before later providing specifics with evidence on the Canarian case for the main issues considered: the economic reasons for migration, and its impact on economic growth, the labour market and the living conditions of the immigrant population. The final section alludes to the importance of the institutional framework that regulates these relations between migration and the economy, which are far from being interpretable as a mechanical relationship and isolated from the political sphere.

Atkinson, Dan, and Alex Hale, eds. From Source to Sea: ScARF Marine and Maritime Panel Report. Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, September 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.9750/scarf.09.2012.126.

Full text
Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under four headings: 1. From Source to Sea: River systems, from their source to the sea and beyond, should form the focus for research projects, allowing the integration of all archaeological work carried out along their course. Future research should take a holistic view of the marine and maritime historic environment, from inland lakes that feed freshwater river routes, to tidal estuaries and out to the open sea. This view of the landscape/seascape encompasses a very broad range of archaeology and enables connections to be made without the restrictions of geographical or political boundaries. Research strategies, programmes From Source to Sea: ScARF Marine and Maritime Panel Report iii and projects can adopt this approach at multiple levels; from national to site-specific, with the aim of remaining holistic and cross-cutting. 2. Submerged Landscapes: The rising research profile of submerged landscapes has recently been embodied into a European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action; Submerged Prehistoric Archaeology and Landscapes of the Continental Shelf (SPLASHCOS), with exciting proposals for future research. Future work needs to be integrated with wider initiatives such as this on an international scale. Recent projects have begun to demonstrate the research potential for submerged landscapes in and beyond Scotland, as well as the need to collaborate with industrial partners, in order that commercially-created datasets can be accessed and used. More data is required in order to fully model the changing coastline around Scotland and develop predictive models of site survival. Such work is crucial to understanding life in early prehistoric Scotland, and how the earliest communities responded to a changing environment. 3. Marine & Maritime Historic Landscapes: Scotland’s coastal and intertidal zones and maritime hinterland encompass in-shore islands, trans-continental shipping lanes, ports and harbours, and transport infrastructure to intertidal fish-traps, and define understanding and conceptualisation of the liminal zone between the land and the sea. Due to the pervasive nature of the Marine and Maritime historic landscape, a holistic approach should be taken that incorporates evidence from a variety of sources including commercial and research archaeology, local and national societies, off-shore and onshore commercial development; and including studies derived from, but not limited to history, ethnology, cultural studies, folklore and architecture and involving a wide range of recording techniques ranging from photography, laser imaging, and sonar survey through to more orthodox drawn survey and excavation. 4. Collaboration: As is implicit in all the above, multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches are essential in order to ensure the capacity to meet the research challenges of the marine and maritime historic environment. There is a need for collaboration across the heritage sector and beyond, into specific areas of industry, science and the arts. Methods of communication amongst the constituent research individuals, institutions and networks should be developed, and dissemination of research results promoted. The formation of research communities, especially virtual centres of excellence, should be encouraged in order to build capacity.

Abstract:
Grand Canyon National Park is all about time and timescales. Time is the currency of our daily life, of history, and of biological evolution. Grand Canyon’s beauty has inspired explorers, artists, and poets. Behind it all, Grand Canyon’s geology and sense of timelessness are among its most prominent and important resources. Grand Canyon has an exceptionally complete and well-exposed rock record of Earth’s history. It is an ideal place to gain a sense of geologic (or deep) time. A visit to the South or North rims, a hike into the canyon of any length, or a trip through the 277-mile (446-km) length of Grand Canyon are awe-inspiring experiences for many reasons, and they often motivate us to look deeper to understand how our human timescales of hundreds and thousands of years overlap with Earth’s many timescales reaching back millions and billions of years. This report summarizes how geologists tell time at Grand Canyon, and the resultant “best” numeric ages for the canyon’s strata based on recent scientific research. By best, we mean the most accurate and precise ages available, given the dating techniques used, geologic constraints, the availability of datable material, and the fossil record of Grand Canyon rock units. This paper updates a previously-published compilation of best numeric ages (Mathis and Bowman 2005a; 2005b; 2007) to incorporate recent revisions in the canyon’s stratigraphic nomenclature and additional numeric age determinations published in the scientific literature. From bottom to top, Grand Canyon’s rocks can be ordered into three “sets” (or primary packages), each with an overarching story. The Vishnu Basement Rocks were once tens of miles deep as North America’s crust formed via collisions of volcanic island chains with the pre-existing continent between 1,840 and 1,375 million years ago. The Grand Canyon Supergroup contains evidence for early single-celled life and represents basins that record the assembly and breakup of an early supercontinent between 729 and 1,255 million years ago. The Layered Paleozoic Rocks encode stories, layer by layer, of dramatic geologic changes and the evolution of animal life during the Paleozoic Era (period of ancient life) between 270 and 530 million years ago. In addition to characterizing the ages and geology of the three sets of rocks, we provide numeric ages for all the groups and formations within each set. Nine tables list the best ages along with information on each unit’s tectonic or depositional environment, and specific information explaining why revisions were made to previously published numeric ages. Photographs, line drawings, and diagrams of the different rock formations are included, as well as an extensive glossary of geologic terms to help define important scientific concepts. The three sets of rocks are separated by rock contacts called unconformities formed during long periods of erosion. This report unravels the Great Unconformity, named by John Wesley Powell 150 years ago, and shows that it is made up of several distinct erosion surfaces. The Great Nonconformity is between the Vishnu Basement Rocks and the Grand Canyon Supergroup. The Great Angular Unconformity is between the Grand Canyon Supergroup and the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. Powell’s term, the Great Unconformity, is used for contacts where the Vishnu Basement Rocks are directly overlain by the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. The time missing at these and other unconformities within the sets is also summarized in this paper—a topic that can be as interesting as the time recorded. Our goal is to provide a single up-to-date reference that summarizes the main facets of when the rocks exposed in the canyon’s walls were formed and their geologic history. This authoritative and readable summary of the age of Grand Canyon rocks will hopefully be helpful to National Park Service staff including resource managers and park interpreters at many levels of geologic understandings...
