    1 GOULBURN RIVER NATIONAL PARK AND MUNGHORN GAP NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service February 2003 2 This plan of management was adopted the Minister for the Environment on 6th February 2003. Acknowledgments: This plan was prepared by staff of the Mudgee Area of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The assistance of the steering committee for the preparation of the plan of management, particularly Ms Bev Smiles, is gratefully acknowledged. In addition the contributions of the Upper Hunter District Advisory Committee, the Blue Mountains Region Advisory Committee, and those people who made submissions on the draft plan of management are also gratefully acknowledged. Cover photograph of the Goulburn River by Michael Sharp. Crown Copyright 2003: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. 3 ISBN 0 7313 6947 5 4 FOREWORD Goulburn River National Park, conserving approximately 70 161 hectares of dissected sandstone country, and the neighbouring Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve with its 5 935 hectares of sandstone pagoda formation country, both protect landscapes, biology and cultural sites of great value to New South Wales. The national park and nature reserve are located in a transition zone of plants from the south-east, north-west and western parts of the State. The Great Dividing Range is at its lowest elevation in this region and this has resulted in the extension of many plants species characteristic of further west in NSW into the area. In addition a variety of plant species endemic to the Sydney Sandstone reach their northern and western limits in the park and reserve.

  • Farrar, Straus and Giroux | 6/4/2019 Surprise That Borders Have Become So Porous
    Losing Earth A Recent History Nathaniel Rich An instant classic: the most urgent story of our times, brilliantly reframed, beautifully told By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change—including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story, and ours. The New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon—the subject of news coverage, editorials, and SCIENCE conversations all over the world. In its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age, it made vivid the MCD | 4/9/2019 moral dimensions of our shared plight. 9780374191337 | $25.00 / $32.50 Can.

See river and dam levels below Although the Hunter has not been on constant flood watch compared to north coast areas, there has been enough downpour and thunderstorms to bring flash flooding to the region. The La Niña weather event brought initial widespread rainfall and more thunderstorms are predicted throughout January 2021.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Soil moisture is an important variable in a number of environmental processes – specifically the hydrological cycle, in the water-limited environments. Therefore, soil moisture data is important as an input variable in hydrologic, climatic modelling and agricultural applications. Many of these applications require high-resolution soil moisture data. However, most of the available soil moisture measurements are rarely available at high resolution, therefore unable to capture the spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture with required accuracy levels. Thus, upscaling or downscaling of soil moisture observations to higher spatial resolution is an essential requirement for these multidisciplinary applications. A long-term high-resolution soil moisture dataset is useful for planning and decision making in agriculture, climatology and hydrology. Developing a historic soil moisture dataset at high spatial resolution over a long period requires the use of different satellite soil moisture products. However, the use of different satellite products results in incompatibilities among each other due to discrepancies in overpass times, the wavelengths used, retrieval algorithms, orbital parameters and sensor errors.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.
