Of even more concern is that our own history is not studied at a sophisticated level by any other students in Australia in their final year of schooling. The study of Australian history at senior level has been through many iterations over the last fifty years and until recently Indigenous Australians featured largely in frontier history only. But their place in VCE history has been slowly expanding. In the 2022 Study Design, Indigenous history is given a significant

  • Military Use of Geologists and Geology: a Historical Overview and Introduction
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 25, 2021 Military use of geologists and geology: a historical overview and introduction EDWARD P. F. ROSE1*, JUDY EHLEN2,3 & URSULA L. LAWRENCE4 1Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK 2US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Alexandria, VA, USA (retired) 3Present address: 3 Haytor Vale, Haytor, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13 9XP, UK 4Capita Property and Infrastructure, Capita House, Wood Street, East Grinstead, West Sussex RH19 1UU, UK E.P.F.R., 0000-0003-4182-6426; J.E., 0000-0002-1595-7820; U.L.L., 0000-0001-8820-1699 *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Napoleon Bonaparte was, in 1798, the first general to include geologists as such on a military operation. Within the UK, the following century saw geology taught, and national geological mapping initiated, as a military science. Nevertheless, military geologists were not deployed on a battlefield until World War I, first by the German and Austro-Hungarian armies and later and less intensively those of the UK and USA. Geol- ogists were used primarily to guide abstraction of groundwater, construction of ‘mine’ tunnels and dug-outs, development of fortifications and quarrying of natural resources to enhance or repair supply routes. Only the USSR and Germany entered World War II with organized military geological expertise, but the UK and later the USA made significant use of military geologists, albeit far fewer than the c. 400 in total used by German forces. Military geologist roles in World War II included most of those of World War I, but were extended to other aspects of terrain evaluation, notably the rapid construction of temporary airfields and factors affecting cross-country vehicular movement (‘going’).

  • Chapter 3. Landscape, People and Economy
    Chapter 3. Landscape, people and economy Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 3. Landscape, people and economy Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan applies to surface water resources in the Northern Victoria and Victorian Murray water resource plan areas, and groundwater resources in Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area. This chapter provides a brief description of the landscape, people and economic drivers in the water resource plan areas. Working rivers The rivers of this water resource plan area provide many environmental, economic, and social benefits for Victorian communities. Most of northern Victoria’s rivers have been modified from their natural state to varying degrees. These modifications have affected hydrologic regimes, physical form, riparian vegetation, water quality and instream ecology. Under the Basin Plan it is not intended that these rivers and streams be restored to a pre-development state, but that they are managed as ‘working rivers’ with agreed sustainable levels of modification and use and improved ecological values and functions. 3.1 Features of Victorian Murray water resource plan area The Victorian Murray water resource plan area covers a broad range of aquatic environments from the highlands in the far east, to the Mallee region in the far west of the state. There are several full river systems in the water resource plan area, including the Kiewa and Mitta Mitta rivers. Other rivers that begin in different water resource plan areas converge with the River Murray in the Victorian Murray water resource plan area. There are a significant number of wetlands in this area, these wetlands are managed by four catchment management authorities (CMAs): Goulburn Broken, Mallee CMAs, North Central and North East and their respective land managers.
