To my father Hubert Xaver Konrad ERINNERUNG Willst du immer welter schweifen ? Sieh das Gate liegt so nah. Lerne nur das Gluck ergreifen, Denn das Gliick ist immer da. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) Abstract This thesis examines the abihty of airborne remotely sensed data to provide quantitative information about the characteristics of intertidal sediments. The research was undertaken on Seal Sands in the Tees estuary, UK, and the airborne imagery was acquired by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) using a Daedalus 1268 11 channel scanning radiometer. The research focused upon establishing calibration and correction procedures for the airborne imagery as well as developing GIS techniques to process and analyze the data. A database was produced for the National Nature Reserve of Seal Sands to integrate remotely sensed imagery data, primary data from fieldwork (particle size analysis) and digital map data. Quantitative analysis of the relationship between radiance and particle size characteristics was undertaken. Results show that a multiple regression model is able to predict sand fractions in intertidal sediments and explain over 70% of the variance in radiance data. GIS techniques have facilitated predictions of the ATM data and particle size analysis of the intertidal sediments, sediment interpolation, and spatial patterns of birds' feeding behaviour. In addition, a digital elevation model (DEM) was established to investigate the relationship of sediment distribution to topography. Although limited to a single study area, the integrated approach employed in this research should be of use in monitoring estuarine environments elsewhere. 11 Acknowledgments The past year was in many concerns tough and cost a lot of energy and faith. Firstly I would like to thank my father, who tragedly died in the mid of my studies. Without his believe and support in my studies I would have never reached this point. I also would like to thank the rest of my family, relatives and friends who were and still are a great source of strength during this time. This research would have not been possible without the help of many people, supporting me with advice, information and practical help. Firstly I would like to thank my first supervisor Dr Ian Evans who supported me very well at the final stage of the thesis. I also would like to thank my second supervisor Dr Christine Dunn who supported me well with GIS advice. Further I would like to thank Mr Robin Ward from the Biological Science Department, who supported me exceptionally well with my field work on Seal Sands; whenever I intended to go, I could count on him. Furthermore I am indebted to Dave Robinson who made the radiometric calibration of the image data possible by his genius programming knowledge. I am also greatly in debt to Prof Michael Tooley for his practical and moral advice. I also want to thank Dr Martin Coy from the University of Tubingen for his support which enabled me to stay in Durham for a second year. Thanks also go to Prof Peter Evans and NERC for supplying the ATM imagery. Furthermore I would like to thank Dr Desmond Murphy from the GKSS in Germany for the material he supplied me with. Additionally I would like to thank my new boss. Prof Dr.-Ing. Hans Peter Bahr from Karlsruhe University, for his final advice in my studies. Last but not least I want to thank greatly the technicians, in the Department of Geography, especially Mrs Stella Henderson, Mr Derek Coates and Mr Derek Hudspeth, as well all my postgraduate colleagues, who gave the department during this research year a very pleasant atmosphere. in Preface Previous research on mapping intertidal estuarine environments has been carried out at the Department of Geography, University of Durham, using Landsat TM imagery of the Wash and the Tees Estuaries (Donoghue & Shennan, 1987; Donoghue & Zong, 1992). These preliminary analyses have shown that remote sensing techniques, especially when combined with GIS, provide a very useful method for mapping spatial distributions of intertidal ecosystems and their variability through time. Two runs of ATM Daedalus 1268 images taken on 15th July 1992 ten minutes apart, were analyzed to assess the feasibility of using visible and short wave infrared reflectance and thermal emitted data for mapping tidal sediments in the Tees Estuary. The image data are compared with ground reflectance measurements and particle size analysis in the raster based module of ARC/INFO, called GRID. For the purpose of mapping sediment distribution on Seal Sands in the Tees Estuary, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was established, examining the sediment distribution in relation to topography.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.
