The inspections were undertaken by Observers designated by their respective governments in accordance with the notification procedures under Article VII (1) of the Antarctic Treaty. In accordance with Decision 7 (2013) of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, notifications were also provided to the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat, who issued Circulars 22/2014 and 23/2014 confirming the appointment of the Observers. Lead Observers so designated were: The logistic platform for the inspection programme was provided by the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy For the Czech Republic: ice patrol vessel HMS Protector. > Dr Pavel Sladký, Adviser to the Deputy Minister, The core inspection team consisted of Pavel Sladký, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, Henry Burgess and John Shears.

  • An Update to Keller Peninsula Place Names in the SCAR Composite

MENDES JÚNIOR1, JORGE ARIGONY-NETO2, ULISSES F. BREMER1, NORBERTO DANI1 and JEFFERSON C. SIMÕES1 1Centro Polar e Climático, Instituto de Geociências, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Avenida Bento Gonçalves, 9500, 91501-970 Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil 2Laboratório de Monitoramento da Criosfera, Instituto de Ciências Humanas e da Informação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, Avenida Itália, km 8, 96201-900 Rio Grande do Sul, RS, Brasil ABSTRACT Planialtimetric maps with good level of accuracy and at detailed scales may be used to improve geographic location information of the place names in the Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica (CGA), developed by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). In this study, a Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to obtain information on position and altitude of geographic features at the Keller Peninsula (KP), King George Island, Antarctica, as represented in a topographic map, a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and an orthophoto. Using a GIS, points representing KP features were digitized, and their geographical coordinates and altitude were compared with the same features already recorded in the SCAR CGA. Among the 21 place names analyzed, only 3 showed correct location and altitude information. Nevertheless, we show that it is easy to update the SCAR CGA by using a GIS and planialtimetric data with good accuracy. Key words: Keller Peninsula, King George Island, Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.

    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

  • Antarctica: International Relations in a Cold Climate
    4/9/2016 Antarctica: International relations in a cold climate Antarctica: International relations in a cold climate April 6, 2016 in Earth / Earth Sciences The Vernadsky Research Base, an Ukrainian Antarctic Station at Marina Point on Galindez Island, Antarctica Winter is coming, and like many scientists posted in Antarctica, Bogdan Gavrylyuk is looking forward to going home. It has been a year since the 43-year-old Ukrainian geophysicist started his latest posting, monitoring climatic phenomena on an island off western Antarctica. "Everybody misses home. Everybody has a family or a girlfriend and of course we miss them," he says. "But here, there is a job we have to do." He will ship out from Vernadsky Research Station in early April to make way for his replacement, before the sea freezes over. Scientists call Antarctica the Earth's last wilderness. For some, it is also a paradise of international cooperation. It is home to thousands of researchers and technicians from various countries who share the territory under the Antarctic Treaty. http://phys.org/print379130512.html 1/6 4/9/2016 Antarctica: International relations in a cold climate In Gavrylyuk's office, blinking computer screens show graphs of data from meteorological instruments deployed around the wind-swept base. "We share a lot of important, interesting information between different Antarctic countries—data on the ozone layer, meteorological information, geophysical information. All the countries here are doing the same," he says.

Activities Little America Station Station Activities - On May 17, 22 percent of the cargo remained on the barrier edge. This material consists entirely of fuel and during the following week 4800 gallons were moved to the station. A five kw generator has been installed on a weasel, providing a portable floodlight system of six 500 watt lights for the station. A Little America Station University of Antarctica has been established and courses in calculus, Spanish, photography, Bible studies, choir and drama are being given. A series of special lectures on the geophysical sciences under observation at the station are also scheduled. On May 18 it was reported that the new amateur communication instellation had been completed. Ionospheric Physics - On May 24 it was reported that the C-4 recorder was operati 3moothJ.y and that regular scaling had been ca:ried out since May 11. (The quality of the records, however, is not yet completely satisfactory.) Meteorology - All meteorology programs are in full operation. Sixty- one successful balloon ascents have been made with a resultant average height of 18,825 meters. The carbon dioxide analyzer is working satis- factorily. The infra-red hydrometer shutter was found to be loose and has been repaired and the bridge circuit changed back to the original specifications. On May 11, while the South Pole Station was recording the lowest temperature ever recorded,-100.40F, Little America was suffering the effects of +30° temperatures.
