    Evaluación de las condiciones ambientales de la ciudad de Nuevitas y sus alrededores* **Josefa PRIMELLES F.• ***Elsa RODR{GUEZ y ****Luis RAMOS G. RESUMEN. El impetuoso desarrollo industrial y demográfico expe­ rimentado por el territorio de Nuevitas, unido al inadecuado manejo de que fueron objeto muchos de sus recursos en la etapa colonial y seudorrepublicana, ha empezado a manifestarse negativamente en el met'io ambiente de la región. Los objetivos fundamentales del trabajo son hacer una evaluación preliminar de la calidad ambiental dentro de la ciudad de Nuevitas y del estado de conservac.ión del medio geográfico que la circunda, así como evaluar la situación perspectiva de la ciudad una vez instalados los electrofiltros de la fábrica de cewento "26 de Julio". Como expresión gráfica del trab�jo se obtu­ viemn: un mapa inventario de la problemática existente, un mapa donde aparecen categorizadas las distintas áreas del territorio según el grado de afectación y un mapa pronóstico de la calidad ambiental de la ciudad luego de la instalación de los electrofiltros antes men­ cionados.

  • Report of Summer Activities for TCD Research Grant Anmari Alvarez
    Report of Summer Activities for TCD Research Grant Anmari Alvarez Aleman Research and conservation of Antillean manatee in the east of Cuba. The research activities developed during May-August, 2016 were developed with the goal to strengthen the research project developed to understand the conservation status of Antillean manatees in Cuba. Some of the research effort were implemented in the east of Cuba with the purpose of gather new samples, data and information about manatees and its interaction with fisherman in this part of the country. We separated our work in two phases. The first was a scoping trip to the east of Cuba with the purpose of meet and talk with coast guards, forest guards, fishermen, and key persons in these coastal communities in order to get them involved with the stranding and sighting network in Cuba. During the second phase we continued a monitoring program started in the Isle of Youth in 2010 with the goal of understand important ecological aspects of manatees. During this trip we developed boat surveys, habitat assessments and the manatee captures and tagging program. Phase 1: Scoping trip, May 2016 During the trip we collected information about manatee presence and interaction with fisheries in the north east part of Cuban archipelago and also collected samples for genetic studies. During the trip we visited fishing ports and protected areas in Villa Clara, Sancti Spiritus, Ciego de Avila, Camaguey, Las Tunas, Holguin, Baracoa and Santiago de Cuba. The visited institutions and areas were (Figure 1): 1. Nazabal Bay, Villa Clara. Biological station of the Fauna Refuge and private fishery port.

Few scholars have researched in the collection and there have not been any publications to draw from it. Such a rich collection allows scholars to tie the province’s local political, economic, and social dynamics with larger national, regional, and global processes. This is consistent with ongoing scholarly efforts to understand local and global interactions and to pay more attention to regional differences within Cuba. This research note uses the records to explore local issues of land, labor, and politics in republican-era Guantánamo in the context of larger national and international processes.

In this study, we investigated the spatio-temporal evolution of extreme rainfall over Cuba from 1980 to 2019, separating the dry and rainy periods. In addition, a ranking of extreme precipitation events was performed, which provides the number of events, the area affected, and a ranking of their magnitude Citation: Alvarez-Socorro, G.; by considering the magnitude of anomalies.
