    SROCC Second Order Draft Government and Expert Review Comments - Chapter 2 Comment Chapter From From To To Comment Chapter Team Response id page line page line 2257 2 0 0 0 0 Excellent comprehensive and rich report. I have only few rather technical remarks. A more Taken into account – sentence included in permafrost section general recommendation relates to the new landscapes which are rapidli forming in deglaciating mountain areas and need comprehensive anticipation/modeling/treatment. This is an emerging research field (Haeberli, W. (2017): Integrative modelling and managing new landscapes and environments in de-glaciating mountain ranges: An emerging trans- disciplinary research field. Forestry Research and Engineering: International Journal 1(1). doi:10.15406/freij.2017.01.00005). This could be more strongly emphasized, for instance, in section 2.4 on page 47 an don page 5, line 53. Such new landscapes will be characterized by strong and long-lasting disequilibria, especially concerning slope stability, sediment cascades or eco-systems. One important factor thereby is the strongly different response time of cryosphere components: snow = almost immediate, mountain glaciers = years to decades, mountain permafrost =decades to centuries to even millennia. As an example, in many mountain chains, permafrost inside high peaks will probably continue to exist (far out of thermal equilibrium) when glaciers will have already long disappeared.

  • Afghan War Rugs
    The Modern Art of Central Asia The Modern Art of Central Asia August 21 - October 16, Organized and curated by Enrico Mascelloni and Annemarie Sawkins, Ph.D. PREFACE Afghan War Rugs: The Modern Art of Central Asia is an important international exhibition that brings to the United States, for the first time, one of the most distinct collections of Afghan war rugs in the world. The mostly women artists who wove the rugs abandoned their traditional nonfigurative styles to produce rich pictorial images that recount a broader story. In knotted rugs with maps, portraits of kings, khans, and military leaders, and in rugs with weapons, the weavers revolutionized an ancient craft. Purchased throughout Central Asia and in Europe, the over 40 rugs in this collection were selected for their exceptional quality, rarity, and surprising content. They represent an encounter of timeless aesthetic tradition with the violent, roiling reality of contemporary Central Asia. Wardak Province, central Afghanistan.

  • Oriental Rugs from Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey
    Modified By The Rug Guru Oriental Rugs From Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey ... Turkmen Rugs Geography West Turkestan is an area of some 700,000 square kilometres with the Caspian Sea to the west, the Mangyshlak Peninsula to the northeast and the Kapet-Dagh Mountains and the outskirts of the Hindukush forming a semicircle to the south. West of what since 1924 has been the border of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Turkmenistan are Afghanistan and the Iranian province of Khorassan. At the eastern side is the huge Chinese province of Xinjiang (Sinkiang). Usually referred to in the context of weaving literature as East Turkestan. Thus viewed in simple geographic terms, it is easier to understand the nature of this Eurasian basin, part of the ancient world's dry belt. To the western side of the region is the Karakum desert and to the east, between the Amu- Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the Kyzylkum desert. To the south, that there was earlier the Soviet Socialist Republic of Uzbekistan, now this independent state, are the important trading centres of Bukhara and Samarkand. The latter having been a major post along the ancient Silk Road, which ran from China through East Turkestan and on westwards, via Tashkent in Uzbekistan, Mary (Merv) in Turkmenistan and Khorasan. Many different ethnic groups have occupied this region for millennia and among those associated with weaving, in addition to the Turkmen's themselves, are the Uzbeks, Karakalpaks and Kirgiz. Historical Research Serious research into the weaving culture of the Turkmen's must, of course, encompass more than aesthetic appreciation.

It was constructed in the Qajar Dynasty in 1876 by Lord Mirza Hasan Ali Nasir al Mulk. The mosque is known for its extensive use in colored glass in its façade. The construction of the mosque uses other traditional structural elements as well such as “panj kasehi” (five concaves). These days, the mosque is more of a tourist attraction than a place for prayer. Like all mosques in Iran, you must remove your shoes before entering and the floor is lined with Persian rugs from wall to wall.

  • Magic Carpet Ride
    Magic Carpet Ride The Pazyryk Carpet is the world's oldest pile rug. It was found in a burial mound in the Pazyryk Valley in Siberia. Experts agree that it was most likely not made there, rather Persia or Armenia. They have dated it to some time in the 4th or 5th Century BCE (about 2,500 years old). https://www.mattcamron.com/ blog/the-worlds-oldest-rug-the- pazyryk-rug This Persian carpet dates back to the year 946. It took three years for five weavers to complete the carpet, which was ordered by Shah Tahmasp for the Sheikh Safi mosque. https://www.carpetencyclopedia.com/ Azerbaijan Carpet Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai2hDCHSPRw https://www.advantour.com/azerbaijan/handcrafts/carpets.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_rug wool dying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq94Hvsx46k Motifs https://www.orientalrugsalon.com/interpreting-rug-designs/ Faig Ahmed (1982- https://www.faigahmed.com https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=nT9PwBqDDMw https://www.shangrilahawaii.org/ visit/residencies/faig-ahmed/ Faig Ahmed is an Azerbaijani contemporary visual artist who is best known for his surrealist weavings which integrate visual distortions into traditional oriental rugs. Afghan War Rugs Since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and continuing today, traditional Afghan rug weavers have incorporated stylized representations of political figures, Kalashnikovs, flags, maps, architectural landmarks, tanks, drones and ammunition amid colorful floral and geometric patterns; designs reflecting a reality familiar to the people of this multi-generational war-torn region. In 1971 the Italian conceptual artist Alighieri Boetti (1940-1994) began commissioning Afghan weavers to produce a series of map textiles originally inspired by his collected newspaper illustrations of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War (1967).

Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 18 January 2020; Published: 28 January 2020 Abstract: Yak (Bos grunniens L.) herding plays an important role in the domestic economy throughout much of the Asian highlands. Yak represents a major mammal species of the rangelands found across the Asian highlands from Russia and Kyrgyzstan in the west to the Hengduan Mountains of China in the east. Yak also has great cultural significance to the people of the Asian highlands and is closely interlinked to the traditions, cultures, and rituals of the herding communities. However, increasing issues like poverty, environmental degradation, and climate change have changed the traditional practices of pastoralism, isolating and fragmenting herders and the pastures they have been using for many years.

  • Sustainable Agriculture Land Use Pattern and Water Resource Management in the Himalayan Geomorphology of Ladakh Since Centuries
    HCG22-05 Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2018 Sustainable Agriculture Land Use Pattern and Water Resource Management in the Himalayan Geomorphology of Ladakh since Centuries *S Arun Das1, Amin Noori Deldar2, Kazuko Tatsumi3, Koichi Kimoto4 1. Associate Professor, Department of Geography, University of Mysore INDIA., 2. Research Scholar, Department of Geography, University of Mysore INDIA., 3. Professor, Faculty of Economics, Fukuoka University, JAPAN., 4. Professor, Center for Hands-on Learning Programs, Kwansei Gakuin University, Hyogo Himalaya is known for lofty mountains, and an intermix of glacial and fluvial denudation. Because of high altitude and snow melt streams, the vegetative cover is seen only along the river banks and in the open valleys. Ladakh Himalayas are situated in the North Eastern part of Jammu Kashmir State of Indian Union. In this mountainous region, there are many settlements situated at various altitudes varying from 3500 to 5300 meters, which are deprived of Electric city and motor-able road. These villages have taken origin purely on the natural guidance of geomorphology, the altitude and the availability of water. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the significance of the geomorphology in the origin of the settlements as early as 500 years ago. Secondly, an overall analysis of terrain and the land use pattern are focused to reveal the agriculture, housing and water resource management. Thirdly, this paper highlights the role of geomorphology based land use, occupation and livelihood(Including Tourism) as an indicators of long lasted Sustainability.
