Forum Carpaticum 2014: Local Responses to Global Challenges Aims to Explore Ways to Address Global Challenges in the Local and Regional Context Science for the Carpathians CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS FORUM CARPATICUM 2014 Local Responses to Global Challenges September 16 – 18, 2014 Lviv, Ukraine www.forumcarpaticum.org Lviv, 2014 Forum Carpaticum 2014 is supported by: The Forum Carpaticum is a bi-annual open meeting of the Science for the Carpathians (S4C) initiative, which goes back to the initiation of the Carpathian Convention in 2001. The S4C network was formally established in 2008 to foster dialogue between research, policy and practice in the realm of sustainable development of the Carpathian region. It also established strategic partnership with the Interim Secretariat of the Carpathian Convention (UNEP Vienna) to ensure durable basis for collaboration and knowledge transfer. Today, S4C connects more than 400 scientists from Central Europe and other countries. Numerous members actively participate in the Carpathian Convention working groups and meetings of the Conference of the Parties to the Carpathian Convention. The 1st Forum Carpaticum (Forum Carpaticum 2010) in Kraków, Poland identified the need for better data generation, availability, and accessibility to information in the Carpathian Mountain ecological region. The 2nd Forum Carpaticum (Forum Carpaticum 2012) in Stará Lesná, Slovakia addressed this need by covering the whole Data-Knowledge-Action cycle, i.e. focusing on how data are generated and transformed into useful knowledge, how the knowledge is transferred to policy and practice, and how it can feed back to research planning. The 3rd Forum Carpaticum – Forum Carpaticum 2014: Local Responses to Global Challenges aims to explore ways to address global challenges in the local and regional context. The main themes of the Forum Carpaticum 2014 conference in Lviv, Ukraine are related, but not limited, to the policy priorities of the Europe 2020 Strategy and the Horizon 2020 Programme, focusing on major challenges affecting the Carpathian ecoregion: 1. Ecosystem services and land use change. This theme concentrates on the problems of sustainable forest management (SFM), agriculture, agro-ecology, eco-tourism, as well as of control of infrastructure development, urban sprawl, rational utilization of mountain resources, communities and their roles in regulating the access to various ecosystem services. 2. Climate change, water and extreme events/hazards. The theme looks into the complex relations between climate change and water resources in the Carpathian area. The focus will be on integrated impact analysis, the resilience of mountain ecosystems as well as their management, conservation and restoration while paying attention to problems of flood protection, water availability and use. 3. Natural and cultural heritage. This theme deals with preservation of and threats to various types of natural and cultural heritage of the Carpathians. A critical issue will be assessment, monitoring and forecasting changes in complex Carpathian landscapes both in socio-economic and as well as ecological terms for sustaining biodiversity, traditional economy and human well-being. 4. Smart mountains. This theme considers the chances offered to mountain areas by a knowledge- based economy, technology development and green growth including environmental-friendly tourism development, mobility, interrelations between rural mountain areas and urban centres in and outside the Carpathians.

The paper is a contribution to ecology and chorology ofAconitum in high-mountain zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians. It was confirmed that genusAconitum in the Chornogora mountain range is represented by 14 taxa, and 7 more taxa were listed as potential for this region. These taxa belong to 3 subgenera and are divided on 4 main biomorphological groups delimited on the base of their habitat, life form, ecology and altitudinal distribution. The soil and vegetation types for all taxa have been identified and the maps of their distribution have been prepared. The most influent threats and their categories were identified.

Paleocene deposits of the Ukrainian Carpathians: geological and petrographic char- acteristics, reservoir properties. Baltica, 33 (2), 109–127. Vilnius. ISSN 0067-3064. Manuscript submitted 27 February 2020 / Accepted 10 August 2020 / Published online 03 Novemver 2020 © Baltica 2020 Abstract. The Paleocene Yamna Formation represents one of the main oil-bearing sequences in the Ukrai- nian part of the Carpathian petroleum province. Major oil accumulations occur in the Boryslav-Pokuttya and Skyba Units of the Ukrainian Carpathians. In the great part of the study area, the Yamna Formation is made up of thick turbiditic sandstone layers functioning as reservoir rocks for oil and gas. The reconstructions of depositional environments of the Paleocene flysch deposits performed based on well log data, lithological and petrographic investigations showed that the terrigenous material was supplied into the sedimentary basin from two sources. One of them was located in the northwest of the study area and was characterized by the predomi- nance of coarse-grained sandy sediments. Debris coming from the source located in its central part showed the predominance of clay muds and fine-grained psammitic material. The peculiarities of the terrigenous material distribution in the Paleocene sequence allowed singling out four areas with the maximum development (> 50% of the total section) of sandstones, siltstones and mudstones. The performed petrographic investigations and the estimation of reservoir properties of the Yamna Formation rocks in these four areas allowed establishing priority directions of further exploration works for hydrocarbons in the study territory.

I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though. Maybe my wife would disagree. I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place ... in the country that I could live.
