  • Submerged Gravel and Peat in Southampton Water
    PAPERS AND . PROCEEDINGS 263 SUBMERGED GRAVEL AND PEAT IN SOUTHAMPTON WATER. B y C . E . EVERARD, M.SC. Summary. OCK excavations and numerous bore-holes have shown that gravel and peat-beds, buried by alluvial mud, occur at D many points in Southampton Water and its tributary estuaries. A study of a large number of hitherto unpublished borings has shown that the gravel occurs as terraces, similar to those found above sea-level. There is evidence that the terraces mark stages, three in number, in the excavation of the estuaries during the Pleistocene Period, and that the peat and mud have been deposited mainly during the post-glacial rise in sea-level. Introduction. The Hampshire coast, between Hurst Castle and Hayling Island, illustrates admirably the characteristic estuarine features of a coast of submergence. It is probable that, following the post- glacial rise in sea-level, much of the Channel coast presented a similar appearance, but only in limited areas have the estuaries survived subsequent coastal erosion. The Isle of Wight has, for example, preserved from destruction the Solent and Southampton Water, and their tributary estuaries. The fluviatile origin of these estuaries has been accepted for many years, following the work of Reid (1, 2) and Shore (3, 4), among others, but, as much of the evidence is below low water- level, detailed knowledge of their stratigraphy and history is limited. The deposits of gravel, peat and mud which largely fill the estuaries are known chiefly from dock constructions, borings and dredging. The shores of Southampton Water have been the scene of much activity of this nature during the past century, and a large quantity of information has accumulated concerning the submerged deposits, but surprisingly little has been published.

    Annual Report 2017 Southampton Natural History Society The 2017 Annual Report Contents Jan Schubert, Secretary Welcome to the Annual Report of the Southampton Natural History Society The 2017 Annual Report 1 for 2017. Last year we experimented with including write-ups of the talks given at our indoor meetings and they proved very popular. So this year Membership Report for 2017 1 we have included more! Particular thanks are due to Daphne Woods for writing notes in the dark, transcribing them and checking their accuracy Peartree Green Local Nature Reserve 2 with the speakers. Garden Wildlife Recording 4 Thanks are also due to the speakers themselves, to Cath Corney for arranging the talks, and to Anthea and Vernon Jones for making the teas Bats — Superheroes of the Night 7 and coffees. It is quite a task arranging such a varied list of talks, so if you have any ideas for a topic or can suggest a good speaker (perhaps someone Bird Aware Solent you have heard give a talk to another group), let Cath know. Raising Awareness of Bird Disturbance 11 It would be great if future Annual Reports also included write-ups of our outdoor meetings. We also need more leaders for our walks. Contact Evolution of Birdiness Julian Mosely or Phil Budd if you are interested. Predatory Dinosaurs and the Evolution of Birds 14 We would also welcome articles from members, both for the Annual Report and for the website. They don’t need to be long — it could be as Itchen Water Meadows 18 short as a paragraph.

A wide range of media was employed aimed at local and overseas audiences. Traditional forms of media such as newspapers and posters were joined by new media, including cinema (film), newsreels, and radio. A wide range of themes were addressed, fostering hostility to towards the enemy, support for the allies, and specific pro-war projects such as conserving metal, waste, and growing vegetables. Propaganda was deployed to encourage people to volunteer for onerous or dangerous war work, such as factories of in the Home Guard. Male conscription ensured that general recruitment posters were not needed, but specialist services posters did exist, and many posters aimed at women, such as the Land Army or the ATS. Posters were also targeted at increasing production. Pictures of the Armed Forces often called for support from civilians, and posters juxtaposed civilian workers and soldiers to urge that the forces were relying on them, and to instruct hem in the importance of their role.

  • Environmental Assessment Report
    M27 Southampton Junctions improvement scheme Environmental Assessment Report 2018 Environmental Assessment Report for M27 Southampton Junctions 1. Summary This EAR has been undertaken to assess the impacts of the scheme on environmental topics. Due to the stage of works, PCF Stage 2, all technical topics have been considered in the assessment. The assessment has predicted that with the exception landscape and potentially cultural heritage, neither Appraisal Option 1 nor 2 would result in ‘significant’ environmental effects. The ‘significant’ effects associated with landscape are limited to individual views and are as a result of the removal vegetation and the gas holders on the gas works site. The potential ‘significant’ effect associated with cultural heritage is to unknown undisturbed below-ground archaeological remains. The value of these assets (if present) is unknown therefore taking a worst-case scenario the effect pre- mitigation is assumed to be ‘moderate/large’ adverse. However, through undertaking of a detailed desk based assessment and if required intrusive investigations, any impacts to this heritage asset can likely be mitigated and resultant impacts thus might be considered likely to not be significant. (Requirement for intrusive investigations will depend upon the extent of physical works). Noise modelling has been undertaken, this has identified temporary adverse effects from noise and vibration are likely to occur during construction works associated with both Appraisal Option 1 and 2. However, it is recognised that the magnitude of the impact of the identified adverse effects should be reduced through the implementation of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) in accordance with best practice measures. The redistribution of the traffic on the network as a result of Appraisal Option 1 will result in the A3024 corridor being expected to manage greater amounts of traffic.

  • Southampton's Air Quality Action Plan
    Air quality action plan Progress report June 2009 Introduction Part IV of The Environment Act 1995 places a statutory duty on all Local Authorities in the UK to periodically review and assess air quality in order to determine compliance with Government health-based objectives for a number of pollutants. National targets for seven key pollutants are set out in the National Air Quality Strategy and the Air Quality Regulations 2000. Local Authorities that determine air quality in their area is likely to fail to meet the objectives are required to declare the exceedance area as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA), and produce an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) in pursuit of the achievement of air quality standards and objectives within the designated area. The Southampton AQAP was produced in April 2008 and an update produced in November 2009. Local authorities which produce an AQAP are required to prepare an annual progress report on measures contained in the action plan and submit it to DEFRA. The last annual progress report was provided in June 2009. This Progress Report will give a picture of the current situation in relation to measures set out in the Air Quality Action Plan update (November 2009) and other trends that have emerged through monitoring of NOx emissions and data collected against a range of other intermediate outcomes. Description of Southampton Southampton is a south coast port city of 221,200 people (2004). The Deep Water Channel of Southampton Water links the City to the Solent and the English Channel. The City is bounded to the west by the River Test and the River Itchen runs through the eastern part of the City.
