Abstract:

In high mountain and deep river valley areas, geological materials of river valley evolution are often missing or incomplete. To address this problem, tectonic movements at project site are analyzed using mathematical statistics based on the analysis of formation and evolution history of river terraces, and then a new method to determine the thickness of river incision layers is proposed. Taking Jiata dam area at the Western Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project in China for an example, the reliability and reasonability of the proposed method are validated through a case study.

Abstract:

In recent years the term collaborative has taken on powerful—if not contested—meanings in anthropology, resulting in spirited discussions concerning methodology, the production of knowledge, and ethnographic authority (e.g., Field and Fox 2007; Rappaport 2007). Perhaps the central voice in this dialogue is Luke Lassiter, who argues for an, approach to ethnography that deliberately and explicitly emphasizes collaboration [with native consultants] at every point in the ethnographic process without veiling it—from project conceptualization to fieldwork, and especially through the writing process

Abstract:

Inspired by the experience of a river contract in Wallonia (Belgium) since 1990, the implementation of a first river contract has been initiated in a West African country, Burkina Faso. This application is not limited to a simple transposition of the Walloon model. The Burkina context calls for adaptation to the local environmental and socio-economical realities with an adequate partnership management. The importance of the mobilization around this project of institutional partners, as well as local collectivities, agricultural producers and water users in general reveals the great expectation

After the model calibration, three recovery scenarios (short-term, medium-term and long-term) were evaluated. In the first scenario the sanitation only improved in some streams, in accordance with the Plan of Sani

In the 1970s, the great discoveries of Western Zhou bronze vessels were concentrated primarily in the Wei River valley of Shaanxi province, a pattern of distribution that gave rise to certain theories about a geographically reduced Zhou state. Since then, and especially in the 1990s, inscribed bronze vessels of the Western Zhou period have been found throughout northern China, with particularly important discoveries identified with the state of Yan 燕 near Beijing, Ying 應 at Pingdingshan (Henan), Jin 晉 at Houma (Shanxi), and Guo 虢 at Sanmenxia (Henan).

This is in contrast to more temperate and humid channels, which show strong downstream trends in morphology and a regularity in the distribution of vegetation across the valley floor. The ge

Geomorphology is a science that is linked to flooding and can exacerbate risks, but awareness of the science with the public is low and declining within academia. To increase awareness, it is important to engage the public directly with the science and those who are working to reduce flood risks – this starts by inspiring people to seek out further information through positive experiences of the science and researchers.

Abstract:

The most active glaciers of Nepal, and adjoining Tibet in China, are located in the eastern part of the region. There are numerous occurrences of glacier lakes in this region. There are evidences that Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) have occurred throughout the Himalaya. However there is no detailed catalogue of the number and location of these past events. Most of the known cases occurred on the major rivers in the Kosi basin. The transport of sediment during GLOFs can be exceptionally high, with suspended sediment concentrations as high as 350,000 mg/l. The vertical and lateral erosion

Abstract:

On behalf of the Editorial team, welcome to the inaugural issue of Intonations, a journal of interdisciplinary arts. Previously affiliated solely with the Department of Music, in 2019 Intonations expanded to include the Departments of Art and Design, and Drama. It was at that time that three new Editors-in-Chief, one from each department, were appointed. The first year was a time for redefinition as we came together from across academic silos to forge a new identity for the journal. Our mandate is to promote multidisciplinary/transdisciplinary collaboration and to encourage dialogue between di

Special Care Notice This article contains images of deceased people that might cause sadness or distress to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers. Introduction Like many cities, Perth was founded on wetlands that have been integral to its history and culture (Seddon 226–32). However, in order to promote a settlement agenda, early mapmakers sought to erase the city’s wetlands from cartographic depictions (Giblett, Cities). Since the colonial era, inner-Perth’s swamps and lakes have been drained, filled, significantly reduced in size, or otherwise reclaimed for urban expansion (Bekle). N

Abstract:

IntroductionFestivals, according to Chris Gibson and John Connell, are like “glue”, temporarily sticking together various stakeholders, economic transactions, and networks (9). Australia’s First Nations peoples see festivals as an opportunity to display cultural vitality (Henry 586), and to challenge a history which has rendered them absent (587). The 2017 Australia Council for the Arts Showcasing Creativity report indicates that performing arts by First Nations peoples are under-represented in Australia’s mainstream venues and festivals (1). Large Aboriginal cultural festivals have long thriv
