Abstract:

The ice masses of present-day Greenland and Antarctica are characterised by marine-terminating ice streams and outlet glaciers, which deliver the majority of ice to the surrounding ocean and have a large impact on the ice sheet stability and sea-level. Understanding the break-up of palaeo-ice sheets and ice streams is thus considered crucial for understanding contemporary ice sheet behaviour and ice sheet response to global climate change. The history of the former eastern margin of the last British and Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) is still poorly understood, particularly in the western North Sea. T

Abstract:

Cephalopods constitute an important faunistic group in marine ecosystems, representing keystone elements in marine food webs. Additionally, they are an important fishing resource, and their contribution to worldwide fishery landings has been rising significantly over the last decades. In the Mediterranean Sea, several local short-term studies on cephalopod abundance and distribution exist, but few integrate longer time scales and larger areas. The present thesis work combines large-scale, long-term studies on cephalopods community composition, diversity and abundance (Part I) with small-scale,

Landscape management is often referred to as a holistic concept, which deals with large-scale processes and multidisciplinary manners in regards to natural resource use with ecological and livelihood considerations.

When it comes to the landscape planning and management related to cotton farming in Gujarat, there has been diversity of interest groups such as local

The Pacific Crest Trail has become increasingly popular since Clinton Clarke first envisioned such a trail in the 1930’s. By comparing the original motives and experience of the trail to the realities of the trail today, the trail’s fluid narrative becomes apparent. While this narrative is ever changing, over the course of the trail’s history one theme has remained constant – a notably problematic relationship with wilderness rooted in an exaltation of the sublime and post-frontier ideals. This thesis focuses on how the Pacific Crest Trail’s development over the past eighty years has created a

Abstract:

This dissertation seeks to answer two overarching questions: what was “Western knowledge” in the nineteenth century, and how did it become a global knowledge form? I do so by sketching a transnational history of the networks and practices that moved “Western knowledge” into Japan, the first non-Western country to putatively “modernize,” from the period roughly preceding the Napoleonic Wars until the end of the First Sino-Japanese War. Using archival materials from four countries and in seven languages, I contend the following: 1) that “Western knowledge” globalized primarily through the form o
