  • From Upper Triassic of the Northern Ca
    STUDIA UNIVERSITATIS BABEŞ-BOLYAI, GEOLOGIA, XLVIII, 2, 2003, 101-111 HIRUNDOPORELLA DACHSTEINENSIS N. GEN., N. SP., A NEW PROBLEMATIC DASYCLADALE (GREEN ALGA) FROM THE UPPER TRIASSIC OF THE NORTHERN CALCAREOUS ALPS, AUSTRIA. FELIX SCHLAGINTWEIT1, HARALD LOBITZER2 & OSKAR EBLI3 ABSTRACT. A new problematic dasycladale is described as Hirundoporella dachsteinensis nov. gen., n. sp. from the Upper Triassic bedded Dachstein Limestone of Mount Dachstein, Austria. It is characterized by individualized phloiophorous laterals, open at the ends and secondary laterals of low number arising in the middle part of the primaries. Nothing is known about the obviously thin and poorly calcified main-axis and the overall arrangement of the primaries. The microfacies is represented by a wackestone composed to about 70 % of dismembered laterals of Hirundoporella dachsteinensis n. sp. Key Words: Calcareous Algae, Dasycladales, Upper Triassic, Norian-Rhaetian, Dachstein Limestone, Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria INTRODUCTION The Austroalpine Dachstein nappe with the Dachstein mountains is part of the Triassic shallow marine carbonate shelf that at its southern rim bordered the Tethys ocean with the adjacent deeper water Hallstatt realm (e.g. Haas et al., 1995, Mandl 2000). The Upper Triassic Dachstein-type platforms are widespread in the Mediterranean realm and even Japan (Kristan-Tollmann 1991). The Dachstein facies comprises reefs at the southern border, northward passing into back-reef and lagoonal deposits of the so-called “bedded Dachstein limestone” (e.g. Zankl 1971). The latter exhibits a typical cyclicity, the so-called “Lofer cyclothems” (layer A, B, C) studied by Fischer (1964). With respect to the reefal and near-reef facies, a more detailed differentiation has been established with typical assemblages of benthic foraminifera and dasycladales (Senowbari-Daryan & Schäfer, 1978, 1979; Wurm, 1982).

Die Kommunikations-, Koordinations- und Beratungsfunktion 3 unseres LEADER-Managements trägt wesentlich dazu bei, neue, regionale, innovative Ideen aufzugreifen und ge- meinsam mit den Akteur*innen in der Region umzusetzen. Als ein Beispiel möchte ich hier die Errichtung der beiden regionalen Gewerbeparks anführen. In einem moderierten Prozess wurde seitens des Gemeindeverbandes mit allen Gemeinden des Bezirks gemeinsam ein zukunftsweisender wichtiger Schritt gesetzt, um Arbeitsplätze zu erhalten bzw. neue Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten unseren Bürger*innen anbieten zu können. Dass es ein langer Weg sein wird, ist uns allen klar. Aber die ersten Schritte sind getan! Bei der Bewältigung der aktuellen Herausforderungen ist der Blick über die Bezirksgrenzen notwendig. Hier leistet eine Reihe von länderübergreifenden Projekten einen wich- tigen Beitrag, Neues entstehen zu lassen. Für dieses „Von- einander Lernen“ ist LEADER eine hervorragende Methode. Bgm.

  • Hanginstabilitäten Und Massenbewegungen Im Lesachtal / Kärnten
    R. HOLZER, C. GORITSCHNIG: Lesachtal 159 Hanginstabilitäten und Massenbewegungen im Lesachtal / Kärnten R. HOLZER, C. GORITSCHNIG Abstract The present article should be considered as an attempt to register areas with a low slope stability along the river Gail in the Lesach valley in upper Carinthia (Southem Austria) and to divide them fr om areas with an increased slope stability. In many cases unstable slopes and the resulting mass movements are a relevant source of debris and might Iead subsequently to catastrophic mud tlows which endanger villages and agricultural areas quite fr equenly in alpine regions. For this reason any kind of slope fa ilure, old ones, covered with vegetation, and still active ones, has been mapped. The classification of slope fa ilures has been done according to M. MOSER (1973): RotatiOJlal landslides wilhout a preformed sliding plane • Transitional landslides on a prefonned sliding plane • Erosion by fl owing water • Tbc kind of slope fa ilure is mainly detennined by the lithological and structural attributes of the rock. In the Lesach valley the siltic talus cover, which is particularly thick above the Periadriatic Fault, is very often aftected by slope failures and other kinds of mass movements. Apart from that fine foliated cristalline schists, just like mica schists, phyllonites or chloritic schists tend to develop unstable slopes. Also the dcgrce of fracturing by joints and fa ults plays an important role. Many rocks (especially phyllonites) in the mapped area are ragged along their parting planes, so that they now appear as loose rocks. Slope fa ilures in moraines are not very common, however they can bring huge amounts of dcbris if they become unstable.

  • E-Branding of Rural Tourism in Carinthia, Austria
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Androniki Kavoura / Evgenia Bitsani E-branding of rural tourism in Carinthia, Austria Abstract Th e aim of this paper is to create an e-branding model which could also be applied for place branding in small central rural regions of Central Europe based on the innovative methodology of rural tour marketing. It was based and went beyond the European program of transnational cooperation, INTERREG IIIB CADSES. Th e region of Carinthia, Austria was set as a case study for the application of interrelating scientifi c theories of marketing, place branding and place identity in relation to and in connection with national identity. Th e paper succeeds in making a practical and theoretical contribution on the process of the creation of branding, which consists of a holistic approach of the management of every business operating in the region. Virtual reality was promoted since it may provide a direct and international impact via the creation of a virtual community appealing to a broad number of potential visitors. Th is latter, is the contribution of this paper since it proposes a model of creating e-branding, fi rst applied to the virtual community; as the virtual space /time precedes the real one and is used to implement and succeed in the design of the rural marketing of the European research programme in this region. Key words: rural tourism marketing; culinary tourism; destination e-branding; Rural Tour e-Brand Carinthia; national identity; place e-branding; Austria Introduction Th e distinct characteristics of a region may combine natural, cultural and gastronomical resources while rural tourism may create the brand destination of a region leading to the emotional projection of the region.

  • OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools
    OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools Country Background Report for Austria Prepared by Michael Bruneforth, Bernhard Chabera, Stefan Vogtenhuber, Lorenz Lassnigg Autumn 2015 This report was prepared by the Ministry of Education and Women’s Affairs (BMBF), the Federal Institute for Educational Research, Innovation & Development of the Austrian School System (BIFIE) and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) as an input to the OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools. The OECD and the European Commission (EC) have established a partnership for the project, whereby participation costs of countries which are part of the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme are partly covered. The participation of Austria was organised with the support of the EC in the context of this partnership. The report responds to guidelines the OECD provided to all countries and it aimed to prepare for the country visit of the OECD review team to Austria in June 2015. The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the national authority, the OECD or its member countries. Further information about the OECD Review is available at www.oecd.org/edu/school/schoolresourcesreview.htm. The published version of the country background report entails a number of editorial changes. The page numbers given in the reference “Bruneforth et al., forthcoming” in the country review report Nusche, D., T. Radinger, M. R. Busemeyer, H.

  • THE SALZKAMMERGUT 245 Gmunden © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Dachstein Caves 5Finger Platform Kaiservilla St Wolfgang Hallstatt
    © Lonely Planet Publications 245 THE SALZKAMMERGUT The Salzkammergut Sometimes called the ‘cradle of Austrian culture’, the Salzkammergut is a spectacular region of alpine and sub-alpine lakes, picturesque valleys, rolling hills and rugged, steep mountain ranges. The highest mountains climb to almost 3000m. Not least because of the Salzkammergut’s startling beauty, parts of this region – especially those lakes easily reached from Salzburg – can at times be swamped with visitors. But don’t despair – much of the region is remote wil- derness, and even in those heavily visited parts such as the Wolfgangsee and Mondsee, you’ll always find isolated sections where peaceful, glassy waters provide limitless opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing or just sitting on the shore and chucking stones into the water. The popular Hallstätter See is no exception. When the pretty streets in Hallstatt township are full of summer visitors, across the lake a sleepy, swampy Obertraun retains a village atmosphere. Strike out deeper into the region, and you will be rewarded with isolated splendour. Salt is the ‘white gold’ of the Salzkammergut, and the mines that made it famous now make for an interesting journey back in time to the settlers of the Iron Age Hallstatt culture, and to the Celts and Romans – all of whom sullied their hands in the mines. Along the western side of the Hallstätter See is a pipeline reputed to be the oldest in the world, used to transport brine. Today, the narrow swathe cut out to build and service the pipeline is a lush hiking trail. Whatever your reason for coming to the Salzkammergut – swimming, boating, hiking, climbing or exploring cultures – this region rewards the curious and adventurous.
