Notes on Sedimentation Activities Calendar Year 1991 INTERAGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON WATER DATA NOTES ON SEDIMENTATION ACTIVITIES CALENDAR YEAR 1991 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Water Resources Division Office of Water Data Coordination 417 National Center Reston, Virginia 22092 ARKANSAS-WHITE-RED (11) SOUTH ATLANTIC-GULF (03) 1 Water Resources Regions Water Resources Regions of the United States NOTES ON SEDIMENTATION ACTIVITIES CALENDAR YEAR 1«91 the Subcommittee on Sedimentation of the INTERAGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON WATER DATA U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Water Resources Division Office of Water Data Coordination 417 National Center Reston, Virginia 22092 August 1992 PREFACE This report is a digest of information furnished by Federal agencies conducting sedimentation investigations. The decision to publish the report was made in 1946, from a proposal by the Chairman of the Federal Interagency River Basin Committee, Subcommittee on Sedimentation. The subcommittee approved the proposal and agreed to issue this report as a means of effecting better coordination of the work of various Federal agencies in the field of sedimentatior. The report was issued on a quarterly basis in 1946 and 1947, from 1948 to 1953 reports were issued every 6 months, and from 1954 to the present, the report has been issued annually. Descriptions of work in progress or planned are included in the report, as well as nmortant findings, new methods, new publications, information relating to laboratory and research activities, and other pertinent information. The material is organized by major drainage regions in the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. Until 1979, each issue of this publication contained a list of stations where sediment data are collected giving the station location, drainage area, and other related information. Because the station list did not change significantly from year to year, it was eventually deleted from the publication. Also, because most users of the station list were only interested in the stations in a certain geographic area, it was felt that their needs could be served more efficiently by acquiring the necessary information through the National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX). Therefore, locations and addresses of NAWDEX assistance centers are included in this report. Information for this report was contributed by the representatives of participating Federal agencies. Suggestions for improving the report are welcome.

  • Al Lethbridge CV 2011
    Al Lethbridge – Composer ‘One of our busiest film and televison composers, Al’s music is fresh, exciting, and heartfelt. He is equally at home with an epic historical thriller, as with an intimate observational documentary. His scores display a powerful narrative intelligence, and he has a special talent for writing hauntingly beautiful melodies…’ Richard Paine Media Music Director at Faber Music. From wildlife to science fiction, history to contemporary drama, Al has scored the music for a multitude of film and television productions. High-profile shows include the BBC's ground breaking adventure series "Beyond Boundaries",Ch4’s "Day Of The Kamikaze” (nominated for a Grierson), "Anatomy For Beginners" (winner of two RTS Awards), and "Nuremburg: Goerings's Last Stand" - the winner of the 2007 Bafta Hugh Weldon Award. His qualities as a composer and collaborator have led to the formation of many successful and long term working relationships. A good example is found in his work with acclaimed drama-documentary director Peter Nicholson. His scores for Peter's films have now ranged anywhere from the epic themes for a fading empire in the Channel 4 Napoleonic War series "A World In Arms", to the up-to-the-minute tension music of the BBC's controversial and politically explosive "Last Flight to Kuwait". In a completely different direction, his credits number several films with a strong oceanic theme. For Al this is an area of total fascination that has been fed by first hand experiences at sea, sailing the 29ft "Snork Maiden" with his wife, film-maker Jenny Jones. Sea-going television highlights have so far included his score for the recent award winning BBC natural history film "Andrea: Queen Of Mantas", the BBC1 series "Pacific Abyss" and the award winning David Attenborough production, "Sharks The Truth".

  • Abstracts of the Talks
    Museums Unleashed: using traditional and social media to communicate collections Natural Sciences Collections Association Conference & AGM 2015 Conference abstracts Using Media to Inspire Connections to the Natural World Wendy Darke, Head of BBC Natural History Unit As Head of the world-famous BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol, Wendy Darke is responsible for delivering over 150 hours of original Natural History content every year for audiences of all ages, both in the UK and around the globe. This includes ground breaking new series such as Life Story, popular returning brands like Springwatch, children's favourite Deadly 60, Radio 4's Tweet of the Day and the newly- launched BBC Earth website, which offer great opportunities for audiences to be inspired to connect with their natural world. Wendy will be sharing her insights into audience engagement through innovation in storytelling, technology and audience participation. 50 shades of grey: communicating rocks Iain Stewart, Professor of Geosciences Communication, Plymouth University Geology, it seems, lies out of sight and out of mind. For that reason, geologists are increasingly being encouraged to communicate more broadly what they do and what they know. Yet how can we do that when, for most people, geology is about 'stones' and stones are 'boring'! It is a problem compounded by the fact that many of our most acute geo-issues are rooted in the unfamiliar realm of the deep subsurface. This talk will use the experience of popularising geoscience for mainstream television to explore ways in which geologists can make our subject connect better with the dissonant public, and in doing so forge more effective strategies for meaningful public engagement.

Approved by: Dr. Susanna Tong Dr. Robert Frohn Dr. Nicholas Dunning Dr. James Goodrich INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE AND LAND USE CHANGE EFFECTS ON HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY OF THE UPPER AND LOWER GREAT MIAMI RIVER A dissertation submitted to the Division of research and Advanced Studies Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) In the Department of Geography Of the College of Arts and Sciences 2003 by Ivan A. Maximov B.S., Moscow State University, 1995 M.S., Moscow State University, 1997 Committee Chair: Dr. Susanna Tong ABSTRACT In the next 50-100 years it is likely to expect changes in climate and patterns of land-use activities in the Great Miami River basin in combination rather than individually. The ultimate goal of this research work was to apply the integrative approach in examining the potential impacts of hypothetically constructed climate and land-use changes on hydrological system and water quality of the Great Miami River. The research results show that dry climate scenarios paired with future land-use change scenario would reduce the annual flow of the Great Miami River and slightly increase the annual concentrations of phosphorus, total ammonia nitrogen and sum of nitrites and nitrates.
