The Supreme Discipline of Mountaineering
The Supreme Discipline of Mountaineering To what heaven would it lead me to climb a mountain that flew? Christoph Ransmayr, “The Flying Mountain” MMM Corones on Kronplatz – between the Gader Valley, Olang and the Puster Valley – is the final act in the Messner Mountain Museum project (which comprises a total of six facilities). On the edge of South Tyrol’s mountain plateau with the most spectacular views, in the unique museum architecture created by Zaha Hadid, I present the crowning of traditional mountaineering. Kronplatz offers views beyond the borders of South Tyrol to all points of the compass: from the Lienz Dolomites in the east to the Ortler in the west, from the Marmolada in the south to the Zillertal Alps in the north. The museum is a mirror of the world of my childhood - the Geislerspitzen, the central buttress of the Heiligkreuzkofel (the most difficult climb in my whole life) and the glaciated granite mountains of the Ahrn Valley. On Kronplatz I present the development of modern mountaineering and 250 years of progress with regard to the equipment. I speak of triumphs and tragedies on the world’s most famous peaks – the Matterhorn, Cerro Torre, K2 – and the depiction of our activity, however contradictory it may seem. As in my other museums, I shed light on alpinism with the help of relics, thoughts, works of art (pictures and sculptures) and by reflecting the outside mountain backcloth in the interior of MMM Corones. As the storyteller of traditional mountaineering, it is not my intention to judge or dramatise but simply to condense human experience of a world that is my world, of the 250-year-old contest between man and the mountain. -
Heavy Metal Pollution and Ecological Assessment Around the Jinsha Coal-Fired Power Plant (China)

In this study, 41 soil samples and 32 cabbage samples were collected from the area surrounding the Jinsha coal-fired power plant (JCFP Plant) in Guizhou Province, southwest China. Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cu and Cr concentrations in soil samples and cabbage samples were analysed to study the pollution sources and risks of heavy metals around the power plant. The results indicate that the JCFP Plant contributes to the Pb, Cd, As, Hg, Cu, and Cr pollution in nearby soils, particularly Hg pollution. Cu and Cr in soils from both croplands and forestlands in the study area derive mainly from crustal materials or natural processes. Pb, Cd and As in soils from croplands arise partly through anthropogenic activities, but these elements in soils from forestlands originate mainly from crustal materials or natural processes. Hg pollution in soils from both croplands and forestlands is caused mainly by fly ash from the JCFP Plant. -

It is a forum in which Ministers responsible for transport, and more speci®cally the inland transport sector, can co-operate on policy. Within this forum, Ministers can openly discuss current problems and agree upon joint approaches aimed at improving the utilisation and at ensuring the rational development of European transport systems of international importance. At present, the ECMT's role primarily consists of: ± helping to create an integrated transport system throughout the enlarged Europe that is economically and technically ef®cient, meets the highest possible safety and environmental standards and takes full account of the social dimension; ± helping also to build a bridge between the European Union and the rest of the continent at a political level. The Council of the Conference comprises the Ministers of Transport of 39 full Member countries: Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.), Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. There are ®ve Associate member countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the United States) and three Observer countries (Armenia, Liechtenstein and Morocco). -

Tunnels and Underground Cities
Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art – Peila, Viggiani & Celestino (Eds) © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-1-138-38865-9 Brenner base tunnel & Isarco River underpass section: Several technical and operational solutions P. Lunardi Lunardi Geo-Engineering, Milan, Italy G. Cassani, M. Gatti & L. Bellardo Rocksoil S.p.A., Milan, Italy ABSTRACT: The Brenner Base Tunnel is part of the TEN-T SCAN-MED corridor and allows the overcoming as a natural barrier of the Alpine ranges. The Isarco River Underpass represents the southernmost construction lot and links the Brenner Base Tunnel with the existing Brenner line and the railway station in Fortezza. The section will include civil works for the two main tunnels for a total length of roughly 4.3 km, as well as two interconnecting tunnels for a total length of 2.3 km that connect with the existing railway line. Construction will be extremely complex from a technical point of view: both the main tunnels and the interconnecting tunnels will pass under the Isarco River, the A22 motorway, the SS12 motorway and the Verona-Bren- ner railway line with a minimal leeway. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2023. The paper summarizes the design choices made for the construction of the underground works, with specific reference to the construction of the Isarco river underpass tunnels. The excavation will be performed with a very shallow cover, ranging between 5–8 m, very close to the river bed. It will start from shafts on the riverbanks, after ground improvement and soil freezing. -
