  • MONUMENTS for the ROMANIAN HEROES of 1917 Horia
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Online Edition Series on History and Archaeology ISSN 2067-5682 Volume 4, Number 4 / 2012 39 MONUMENTS FOR THE ROMANIAN HEROES OF 1917 ∗ Horia DUMITRESCU Abstract : During the Great War heavy battles took place on the Romanian teritorry, at Mǎrǎşti, M ărăş eşti and Oituz, in Vrancea County. In their memory were built the monuments presented below. Keywords : war, heroes, gratitude, monument, Mǎrǎşti, M ărăş eşti and Oituz. After two years of devastating war in Europe and after two years of neutrality, on August 14 th 1916, Romania joined the right and saint war of union, of fulfilling the national aims, legitimate and ancient, of the Romanian people. The inhabitans of Transylvania received the offensive of the Romanian army beyond the Carpathians with enthusiasm and joy. During only two months, the Romanian troops almost reached Sibiu. Being insufficiently supported by the countries of the Antanta, the Romanian army had to retreat fighting heroically for each piece of land. On the rivers Jiu and Olt, at Bucharest and Ramnicu-Sarat, the Romanian soldiers proved heroism simply legendary, sweeping away the intentions of the enemy to throw Romania out of war. The front became stable on the alignment of the Eastern Carpathians, the lower course of the rivers Putna and Siret and of the big river Danube. Moldavia remained the only free part of the country. Here was the strenght and the hope of the Romanian nation. After the recovery, after those intense preparations of June- July 1917, the fights of the Romanian army were to become real in the bright victory from Marasti since 24 th - 30 th of July 1917.

  • Seismic Controls on Contemporary Sediment Export in the Siret River Catchment, Romania

Geomorphology 216: 247-262. DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.04.008 Seismic controls on contemporary sediment export in the Siret river catchment, Romania Matthias Vanmaercke a,b, Florin Obreja c,d, Jean Poesen a a Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, KU Leuven, Heverlee, Belgium b Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), Brussels, Belgium c Department of Geography, “Stefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Romania d River Forecast, Hydrology and Hydrogeology Bureau of The SIRET Water Branch, Bacau, Romania Abstract While differences in catchment sediment yield ( SY , [t km -2 y-1]) are generally attributed to topography, lithology, climate and land use, recent studies have highlighted that also seismic activity may have an important impact on SY . Nonetheless, relatively little is known about the importance of this factor and the processes and mechanisms explaining its influence. Therefore, this study explores the role of seismic activity in explaining spatial and temporal variation in sediment export within the Siret Basin (Romania, 45000 km²), a catchment with a large variability in seismic activity. Based on previously unpublished long-term (> 30 years) SY measurements for 38 subcatchments of the Siret, we analyze the correlation between average SY , seismic activity and various other catchment characteristics. Our results showed that spatial variation in average SY was indeed strongly correlated with the degree of seismic activity in each catchment (R² = 0.74).

  • Siret River Basin Planning (Romania) and the Role of Wetlands in Diminishing the Floods
    Water Resources Management V 439 Siret river basin planning (Romania) and the role of wetlands in diminishing the floods G. Romanescu “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi, Romania Abstract The Siret river flows from the wooded Carpathians (Ukraine) and on the Romanian territory it has a length of 559km, from its entrance into the country till its mouth into the Danube. Practically, it is the river basin with the highest hydro-energetic potential and with the greatest fresh water supply in Romania. The total theoretical water resource in the Siret river space represents 6,868 million m3/year, which is above the average for Romania. In order to ensure the water sources for different use and to diminish the high floods which are more numerous and stronger, 31 accumulations have been built, with a volume exceeding 1,206.12 mln.m3. In 2005 the Siret recorded a historical flow with values between 5,000-5,500 m3/s, representing the highest flow on the interior rivers in Romania. Unfortunately, in the last 50 years, a great part of the large wetlands in this river basin have been drained, changing their destination and therefore, changing their role in diminishing floods, in recharging the aquifers and in representing a habitat for different species. In order to protect the human settlements in different regions, 570.2 km of rivers undertook regulation actions and 357.7 km of dams were built. Due to the torrential character of most of the rivers in the Siret basin, water consumption appeared and developed from simple water use to the great complex accumulations.

  • Romanian Aviation in the First World War
    Mihail ORZEAÞÃ • Valeriu AVRAM ROMANIAN MILITARY THINKING ROMANIAN AVIATION IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR Professor Mihail ORZEAȚĂ, PhD „Apollonia” University, Iaşi Professor Valeriu AVRAM, PhD Romanians are among the pioneers of heavier-than-air flight, being also among the first in the world to use aircraft for military purposes. However, the efforts and creativity of Romanian aviation pioneers were not properly appreciated by the political and military leaders of their time. At the outbreak of the war the Romanian Crown Council decided to keep the country neutral. Romania signed a treaty with the Entente because the Alliance pledged support to the unification of all Romanians into a single state. Counting on the Entente’s promises to launch offensive operations in Thessaloniki and in Bucovina, the Great General Headquarters of the Romanian Armed Forces developed a risky concept of operations in order to enter the war by launching offensive in two divergent directions. This risky strategy implemented alongside the unfavourable evolution of the strategic situation of the Entente on both Eastern and Western fronts resulted in defeat for the Romanian Armed Forces in 1916. The additional effect of the defeats was the occupation of two thirds of the Romanian territory by German troops. Having a new organisational structure and better equipment and training, the Romanian aviation contributed to the successes in the battles of Mărăști, Mărăşeşti and Oituz in July and August 1917. Russia’s decision to exit the war contributed to the decision of the Romanian Council of Ministers to sign the Peace Treaty with the Central Powers in May 1918.

  • Streamflow and Suspended Sediment Load Trends in Trotuș Drainage Basin: Geomorphic Implications
    https://doi.org/10.15551/pesd2020142005 PESD, VOL. 14, no. 2, 2020 STREAMFLOW AND SUSPENDED SEDIMENT LOAD TRENDS IN TROTUȘ DRAINAGE BASIN: GEOMORPHIC IMPLICATIONS Dan DUMITRIU1 1 Faculty of Geography and Geology, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Romania; e-mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +40 740 133 237 Key words: streamflow, suspended sediment load, trend analysis, geomorphological response, Trotuș River Abstract. The research focusing on the trends of the streamflow and suspended sediment, as well as on the controls involved in these changes, are currently topics of significant interest in fluvial geomorphology. In this context, the aim of this study is to analyze the trends of the streamflow discharge and the sediment load based on a geomorphological approach of the relations between the two variables. These trends were assessed based on three testing methods frequently employed in hydro-geomorphological studies (Mann–Kendall trend test, Șen's slope estimator and the innovative trend method) applied on data from 10 gauging stations located on major tributaries of Trotuș River. Results reveal an overall downward trend of the mean annual streamflow and an increasing trend of the mean annual suspended sediment load. Whereas the decreasing streamflow trend was linked to the diminishing precipitation amounts, the upward trend of suspended sediment load was related to the changes occurring within river channels as a result of flood events. 1. INTRODUCTION Rivers are regarded as major links between continents and oceans and play a crucial role in the manifestation of geological, geomorphic, hydrological, biological and chemical processes occurring at the surface of the crust (Milliman and Meade, 1983; Walling and Fang, 2003).

    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Series on History and Archaeology 68 Volume 10, Number 1/2018 ISSN 2067-5682 THE GREAT BATTLES ON THE EASTERN FRONT IN THE SUMMER OF 1917, IN THE COMMENTS OF THE HUNGARIAN PRESS IN ORADEA Ion ZAINEA Rezumat. Marile confruntări din vara anului 1917 de pe frontul din Moldova, de la Mărăşti, Mărăşeşti şi Oituz, unde, după refacere, armata română, prin lupte îndârjite, a oprit înaintarea inamicului şi a obţinut o strălucită victorie, a dus la eşuarea planului ofensiv al armatei germane de a ocupa Moldova şi a da României lovitura de graţie, după repetatele înfrângeri ale armatei ruse în Galiţia. Victoriile româneşti au avut un amplu ecou în presa vremii, în ţară şi peste hotare. Presa maghiară însă, în speţă cea din Oradea (cotidianele Nagyváradi Napló, Szabadság, Tiszántúl), optând pentru dezinformarea cititorului, vorbeşte doar de victorii ale germano- maghiarilor şi de eşecuri ale românilor şi ruşilor. Rareori, printre rânduri, în expresii lacunare, exprimate evaziv şi cu efect atenuant, întâlnim referiri la unele succese ale românilor. Cuvinte-cheie: Frontul de Est, bătălii, presa maghiară, dezinformare, victorii româneşti In the summer of 1917, the military situation on the various fronts became critical for the Triple Entente. On the Russian-Romanian front, the Central Powers’ counter-offensive at the beginning of July led to the defeat of the Russian troops in the North, with the Austrian armies getting again to Galicia and Bucovina. In these conditions, the German commandment drew up a plan to remove Romania from the battle, through a concerted offensive of two groups of armies: one, guided by Mackensen, in the Nămoloasa area, another one, guided by Gerock, in the Oituz area.
