E. Markus Meier, Germany and Sweden Marcus Reckermann, Germany Anna Rutgersson, Sweden Acknowledgments This conference is jointly organized by the University of Klaipeda, Lithuania, and the International Baltic Earth Secretariat at Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht, Germany. We would like to thank the sponsors for generously supporting the conference. Furthermore, we would like to thank the local organization committee, in particular Inga Dailidienė and Eglė Baltranaitė, and the numerous student helpers. Sabine Billerbeck, Sabine Hartmann and Hans-Jörg Isemer are acknowledged for their invaluable support before and during the conference. Very special thanks go to Silke Köppen of the International Baltic Earth Secretariat for brilliantly organizing the preparation of the conference and associated publications. Preface Three years ago, Baltic Earth was launched at the final BALTEX Conference in June 2013 on Öland, Sweden. Since then, a lot has happened: An Interim (and later permanent) Science Steering Group was installed with some new faces, but keeping also some experienced BALTEX warriors to warrant continuity. Two summer schools were organized under the Baltic Earth flag, and it was very satisfying to see many students of those summer schools also participating at this conference, presenting their scientific work and actively contributing to the scientific discussion. Baltic Earth, together with different institutions has organized eight workshops, seminars or conference sessions, and two major topical conferences. Then, the second BACC book was published in April 2015 which was a major effort of the BALTEX-Baltic Earth community. Last but not least, a Baltic Earth Science Plan was drafted and will be presented to the Baltic Earth community at this conference. The science plan is intended to reach a large spectrum of scientists and stakeholders in order to attract a wide range of players in the region to Baltic Earth. The topic of this 1st dedicated Baltic Earth Conference was suggested and discussed at the 2nd Meeting of the Baltic Earth Interim Science Steering Group in Sopot, Poland in November 2013. It arose from the understanding that the regional Earth System changes we perceive are really a mixture of different factors interwoven in complicated ways, and of which climate change is one driver. This was one of the lessons from the BACC II book. Still, the sessions of this conference reflect the Baltic Earth Grand Challenges plus the conference topic as a brand new Grand Challenge (as of 2016): • Salinity dynamics • Land-Sea-Atmosphere biogeochemical feedbacks • Natural hazards and high impact events • Sea level dynamics, coastal morphology and erosion • Regional variability of water and energy exchanges • Regional climate system modeling • Multiple and interrelated drivers of environmental changes The conference is also intended to be a discussion forum about the perspective and future prospects of Baltic Earth, and the new challenges at the horizon. This will be discussed during the two dedicated plenary discussion slots. For this first Baltic Earth conference, we have received 134 abstracts from 13 countries, among them also countries outside the Baltic Sea region. As for the previous BALTEX conference proceedings, no discrimination is made in this volume regarding poster or oral presentation; they are all sorted alphabetically within topics. We see the large number of abstracts as an indication that Baltic Earth is attractive to a wide range of scientists around the Baltic Sea, and we hope that this interest may still increase in the future.

  • Impact of the Artificial Strait in the Vistula Spit on the Hydrodynamics
    water Article Impact of the Artificial Strait in the Vistula Spit on the Hydrodynamics of the Vistula Lagoon (Baltic Sea) Michał Szydłowski * , Tomasz Kolerski and Piotr Zima Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Gda´nskUniversity of Technology, Narutowicza 11/12, 80-233 Gda´nsk,Poland; [email protected] (T.K.); [email protected] (P.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-58-347-1809 Received: 25 March 2019; Accepted: 8 May 2019; Published: 10 May 2019 Abstract: In the Vistula Lagoon, storm surges are induced by variable sea levels in the Gulf of Gda´nsk and wind action. The rising of the water level in the southern part of the basin, exceeding 1.0 m above mean sea level, can be dangerous for the lowland area of Zuławy˙ Elbl ˛askie,causing the inundation of the polders adjacent to the lagoon. One of the potential possibilities to limit the flood risk is to decrease the water level in the lagoon during strong storm surges by opening an artificial canal to join the lagoon with the Gulf of Gda´nsk.The decision to build a new strait in the Vistula Spit was made in 2017. In order to analyze the impact of the artificial connection between the sea and the lagoon during periods of high water stages in the southern part the lagoon, mathematical modelling of the hydrodynamics of the Vistula Lagoon is required. This paper presents the shallow water equations (SWEs) model adapted to simulate storm surges driven by the wind and sea tides, and the numerical results obtained for the present (without the new strait) and future (with the new strait) configuration of the Vistula Lagoon.

Rydlówka 24, Kraków Introduction Between 1963 and 1970, as part of its series Elementa ad Fontiun Editiones, the Polish Historical Institute in Rome issued Documenta polonica ex Archivo Generali Hispaniae in Simancas, seven volumes of documents pertinent to the history of Poland edited by Rev. Walerian Meysztowicz.1 The collections in Simancas are not only important for understanding Polish-Spanish relations, but also very effectively illustrate Poland’s foreign policy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the role the country played in the international arena. In this respect, the Spanish holdings are second only to the Vatican archives. In terms of the quality and quantity of information, not even the holdings of the Vienna archives illuminate Poland’s European politics on such a scale. Meysztowicz was well aware of this, opening his introduction (Introductio) to the first part of the publication with the sentence: “Res gestae Christianitatis sine Archivo Septimacensi cognosci vix possunt.”2 1 Elementa ad Fontium Editiones, vol.

Ometi kaovad just üksikliikmete nimed tihti olude sunnil meie ajaloolisest mälust pea täielikult. Et põlistada nende tublide eesti naiste mälestust, tänu kellele meie suurepärane organisatsioon - Naiskodukaitse, Saaremaal üldse loodi, on k.o. kogumiku koostaja püüdnud välja selgitada nende ni- med, et jäädvustada neid tulevastele põlvedele. Kui palju naiskodukaitsjaid aastatel 1925-1940 kohalikku ringkonda üldse kuulus, pole päris täpselt teada, ehkki erinevad allikad kinnitavad võrdlemisi üksmeelselt, et organisatsiooni likvideerimise ajal suvel 1940 kuulus sinna cà 900 naist. 2004. a. ilmunud kogumikus "Naiskodukaitse Saaremaa Ring- kond 1925-2001" suudeti neist ära tuua vaid 490 liikme nimed. Nüüdseks teame, et aastatel 1925-1940 kuulus 15 tegevusaasta jooksul NKK Saaremaa Ringkonda mingi aja jooksul teadaolevalt kokku ligi 1750 naist. Arvestused näitavad aga, et kui siia lisada needki, kes liitusid organisatsiooniga või lahkusid sealt organisatsiooni tegutsemise esimestel aastatel 1925- 1928 ja kelle nimedest paljud on veel teadmata, võib see arv suureneda isegi mitmesaja inimese võrra. K.o. kogumikku pole kantud mitte ühegi inimese nime, kelle liikmelisus pole kindlat tõendamist leidnud kirjalike andmete alusel.

A wide range of artisans were surveyed in the course of this research, from professionals who earn a living from handicraft to amateurs, small enterprises and handicraft instructors. The authors concentrate on the motifs and background of different categories of handicraft agent. Details of handicraft practice such as mastering spe- cific items, local peculiarities and materials used will be also explored. The analy- sis is predominantly based on the artisans’ views on proper ways of making handi- craft items, their marketing strategies and the needs of developing their skills. The study* demonstrates that artisanal initiatives support the material reproduction of cultural locations through constant renewal of heritage ideology and practice. KEYWORDS: crafts • artisans • heritage • hobby • woodwork * We would like to thank all informants, workshop participants and supporters.

Reindl*, Jerzy Bolałek Due to the limited water exchange, lagoons are particu- larly prone to eutrophication. The consumption of oxygen in this process, coupled with simultaneous enrichment of bottom sediments with organic matter, reinforces the occurrence of anaerobic conditions and methanogenic growth. Methanogenic archaea activities cause depolym- erization of organic compounds accumulated in sediments. As a result of such ecosystem transformation, methane might be produced and emitted from this basin.

  • Polish Contribution to World War II - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 12/18/15, 12:45 AM Polish Contribution to World War II from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Polish contribution to World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 12/18/15, 12:45 AM Polish contribution to World War II From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The European theatre of World War II opened with the German invasion of Poland on Friday September 1, 1939 and the Soviet Polish contribution to World invasion of Poland on September 17, 1939. The Polish Army War II was defeated after more than a month of fighting. After Poland had been overrun, a government-in-exile (headquartered in Britain), armed forces, and an intelligence service were established outside of Poland. These organizations contributed to the Allied effort throughout the war. The Polish Army was recreated in the West, as well as in the East (after the German invasion of the Soviet Union). Poles provided crucial help to the Allies throughout the war, fighting on land, sea and air. Notable was the service of the Polish Air Force, not only in the Allied victory in the Battle of Britain but also the subsequent air war. Polish ground troops The personnel of submarine were present in the North Africa Campaign (siege of Tobruk); ORP Sokół displaying a Jolly the Italian campaign (including the capture of the monastery hill Roger marking, among others, at the Battle of Monte Cassino); and in battles following the the number of sunk or damaged invasion of France (the battle of the Falaise pocket; an airborne ships brigade parachute drop during Operation Market Garden and one division in the Western Allied invasion of Germany). Polish forces in the east, fighting alongside the Red army and under Soviet command, took part in the Soviet offensives across Belarus and Ukraine into Poland, across the Vistula and towards the Oder and then into Berlin.

    More Maritime Safety for the Baltic Sea WWF Baltic Team 2003 Anita Mäkinen Jochen Lamp Åsa Andersson “WWF´s demand: More Maritime Safety for the Baltic Sea – Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) status with additional proctective measures needed Summary The scenario of a severe oil accident in the Baltic Sea is omnipresent. In case of a serious oiltanker accident all coasts of the Baltic Sea would be threatened, economic activities possibly spoiled for years and its precious nature even irreversibly damaged. The Baltic Sea is a unique and extremely sensitive ecosystem. Large number of islands, routes that are difficult to navigate, slow water exchange and long annual periods of icecover render this sea especially sensitive. At the same time the Baltic Sea has some of the most dense maritime traffic in the world. During the recent decades the traffic in the Baltic area has not only increased, but the nature of the traffic has also changed rapidly. One important change is the the increase of oil transportation due to new oil terminals in Russia. But not only the number of tankers has increased but also their size has grown. The risk of an oil accident in the Gulf of Finland will increase fourfold with the increase in oil transport in the Gulf of Finland from the 22 million tons annually in 1995 to 90 million tons in 2005. At the same time, the cruises between Helsinki and Tallinn have increased tremendously, and this route is crossing the main routes of vessels transporting hazardous substances. WWF and its Baltic partners see that the whole Baltic Sea needs the official status of a “Particularly Sensitive Sea Area” (PSSA) to tackle the environmental effects and threats associated with increasing maritime traffic, especially oil shipping, in the area.
