  • Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004
    Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004 Institute of the North • U.S. Arctic Research Commission • International Arctic Science Committee Arctic Ocean Marine Routes This map is a general portrayal of the major Arctic marine routes shown from the perspective of Bering Strait looking northward. The official Northern Sea Route encompasses all routes across the Russian Arctic coastal seas from Kara Gate (at the southern tip of Novaya Zemlya) to Bering Strait. The Northwest Passage is the name given to the marine routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along the northern coast of North America that span the straits and sounds of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Three historic polar voyages in the Central Arctic Ocean are indicated: the first surface shop voyage to the North Pole by the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Arktika in August 1977; the tourist voyage of the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Sovetsky Soyuz across the Arctic Ocean in August 1991; and, the historic scientific (Arctic) transect by the polar icebreakers Polar Sea (U.S.) and Louis S. St-Laurent (Canada) during July and August 1994. Shown is the ice edge for 16 September 2004 (near the minimum extent of Arctic sea ice for 2004) as determined by satellite passive microwave sensors. Noted are ice-free coastal seas along the entire Russian Arctic and a large, ice-free area that extends 300 nautical miles north of the Alaskan coast. The ice edge is also shown to have retreated to a position north of Svalbard. The front cover shows the summer minimum extent of Arctic sea ice on 16 September 2002.

Starting with the employment of the present curator of the Botanical Collections in 2003, a DNA lab has been established in order to ac- count for the recent developments in systematic re search, which largely employs DNA sequencing and other genetic and molecular techniques to de scribe and validate taxa in many areas of systematic and taxonomic research. This review focuses on the activities of the DNA lab, which understand itself not only as a facility to assist in systematic and taxonomic research, but also actively engages in presenting cutting edge scien- ce and lab tutorials to the public.

This new species is characterized by the leaves bearing heterogeneous circular to elongate pustules and the strongly reflexed perigone seg- ments at anthesis. It is at first sight related to Massonia jasminiflora Burch. ex Baker, M. wittebergensis U.Müll.-Doblies & D.Müll.-Doblies and M. saniensis Wetschnig, Mart.-Azorín & M.Pinter, but differs in vegetative and floral characters, as well as in its allopatric distribution.

However, what we President: Tony Roberts lack in pizzazz we have made up in content! Don has Vice President: Pauline Lawie kindly put together a report on our trip to Ella Bay (which Secretary: Sandy Perkins ([email protected]) was a great day out, btw) and the plant of the month Treasurer: Val Carnie Newsletter: including an interesting google translation. And of Stuart Worboys course, there are the details on our next excursion to ([email protected]) Emerald Creek Falls. Looking forward to seeing you all Webmaster: Tony Roberts ​ ​ in May. Sandy Perkins Excursion Report ELLA BAY (HEATH POINT ) Sunday 15 April 2018 By Don Lawie The beach and dune walk planned for 11 March was cancelled due to heavy rain, local flooding and road washouts. Indeed, damage to Ella Bay Road was so bad that it was closed at Heath Point, the southern arm of Ella Bay, when we arrived on 15 April. Nothing daunted, we set off along the beach but were soon blocked by sharp volcanic rocks so diverted to the road and walked up a steep hill then returned to the beach beyond the rock barrier. The aim of the day was to discover what plants – trees, shrubs, vines etc.- grew in the area with fruits that would conceivably be eaten by shipwrecked mariners who were not knowledgeable about their edibility or otherwise.

  • A Door County Beach in SPRING & EARLY SUMMER
    A Door County Beach in SPRING & EARLY SUMMER Discover the four-season beauty of a Lake Michigan beach in Door County, Wisconsin, USA Presented by Glidden Lodge Beach Resort Input from Carolyn Rock, Natural Resource Educator, Whitefish Dunes State Park, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin “You can tell all you need to about a society from how it treats animals and beaches. Frank Deford All photos taken in May and June of 2012 Ripples of the lake bed can be seen and felt. Formed by wave action, these ripples are small versions of the unique landforms found at the Ridges Sanctuary. Beach chairs near the beach volleyball court offer visitors a view of Lake Michigan as well the competition. An on site spring feeds vegetation around the edges of the beach. Every suite at Glidden Lodge Beach Resort give guests a sunrise view of Lake Michigan. Spring time moss dots the remnants of the Niagra Escarpment. For visitors seeking shade from the hot summer sun, cedar trees on the grounds of Glidden Lodge Beach Resort offer relief. Just down the beach from Glidden Lodge Beach Resort: Whitefish Dunes State Park 4 mile drive or 3.5 mile hike along the beach Shipwreck Australasia Surveying Takes Place At Whitefish Bay Excerpted from Aaron Conklin of the University of Wisconsin, Madison < http://www.news.wisc. edu/20802> At a time when everyone else had switched to iron and steel, James Davidson steadfastly clung to wood, building some of the largest wooden schooners ever to sail the Great Lakes, and becoming a legendary shipbuilding titan in the process.
