[email protected] 6 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (April 2017) 2017 is INHIGEO’s 50th anniversary year and it is indeed a great honour for me to be INHIGEO’s President at this special time. INHIGEO is the first and oldest IUGS Commission and we have been remarkably successful since Vladimir Tikhomirov (USSR, then including Russia and Armenia) initiated INHIGEO as our first President in 1967. From a personal perspective, my first involvement with INHIGEO came in about 1983 with election to full INHIGEO membership in 1989. Subsequently I have been Secretary General over 8 years (2008-2016) before you have entrusted me with the role of President for the period 2016-2020 at our 2016 meeting in Cape Town. For our 50th anniversary Wolf Mayer and his team have already been working diligently with the Geological Society of London to produce a special commemorative volume entitled “History of Geoscience: Celebrating 50 Years of INHIGEO”. This should be available by the time that you are receiving this Annual Record. It represents a magnificent effort involving many INHIGEO members, which is greatly pleasing. All of us should seek a copy. Later this year INHIGEO will also gather in Yerevan, Armenia at the same venue where INHIGEO first met 50 years ago in 1967. So, it is a very appropriate place to meet. Field visits to the same sites, such as the Matenadaran (State Repository of Ancient Manuscripts), the Echmiatsin Cathedral (4th Century), and the Hellenistic temple of Garni (1st century) are already planned. I look forward to seeing many of you in Yerevan. Over the past few years INHIGEO has continued to grow from strength to strength and it is my earnest desire that this prosperity is maintained. In this respect, the contribution of all INHIGEO Board Members is greatly valued. In conclusion, I am delighted that Marianne Klemun and Bill Brice have agreed to shoulder the major responsibilities of Secretary General and Editor respectively for the period, 2016-2020. I appreciate already seeing the fruits of their efforts in this publication, for example, and the revamped INHIGEO website, www.inhigeo.com. Finally, INHIGEO needs to acknowledge the distinguished service from members leaving the INHIGEO Board in 2016 including Silvia Figueirôa, Greg Good, Martina Kölbl-Ebert, Jiuchen

    BRITAIN AT WAR - OUR FINEST HOURS DISC ONE - D-DAY - ASSAULT ON FORTRESS EUROPE Early in the morning of 6th June 1944, a vast and bizarre armada ploughed steadily against stiff head-winds through the rough waters of the English Channel, heading for the Normandy coast. Amongst the 5,000 vessels were many of the best British and American warships of stupendous collective firepower, as well as ancient battleships and tankers on their last voyage, destined to be sunk to provide breakwaters. Thousands of the craft had been built to make one short journey only; to ferry the invading allied forces, together with their immense diversity of equipment on the last difficult, dangerous stretch from the transports to the shore of enemy-occupied France. It was D-Day. DISC TWO - BATTLE OF BRITAIN - THE FIGHT FOR THE SKY With the surrender of France on 22nd of June 1940, Britain and her Commonwealth stood alone against the might of the German armed forces. In that dark summer of 1940, the threat of invasion hung heavily over Britain and children were once more evacuated to the countryside. The army was still recovering from its defeats in France and could offer no real defence against invasion. Britain had a strategy to meet the German threat, which was due to one man, Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding. Against enormous internal pressure, Dowding had resisted committing the majority of his Spitfire and Hurricane squadrons to the battle on the Continent, knowing that the major battle was yet to come - the battle for Britain itself.

  • Chapter 3 Ground Survey
    Chapter 3 Ground Survey Chapter 3 Ground Survey 3.1 Drilling, Laboratory Tests The outline of the lithologic structure in Yerevan can be understood by the geological maps and the collected drilling database, which contains 5,094 logs; however, the data concerning the S wave velocity for the amplification analysis and the soil properties for the liquefaction analysis are not enough. To collect these data, 10 drillings were newly conducted in Yerevan and several tests were conducted using these boreholes. The quantities of the tests are shown in Table 3.1-1. Table 3.1-1 Quantities of Tests Category Quantities Drilling 30m x 10 Groundwater Level Measurement 10 Standard Penetration Test 129 Disturbed Soil Sampling 116 Laboratory Test 116 The drilling points are mainly set to the area where the Quaternary deposits cover because it is effective for the amplification of the earthquake motion by the ground and liquefaction potential. The geologic condition of Yerevan was estimated as follows from the existing information. The rock layer may be shallow in the northern area and the soft soils cover the southern area. Therefore, the selected newly boring points locate in the south of Yerevan city (Figure 3.1-1). The surface soils of each drilling points are shown in Table 3.1-1. The drilling logs are shown in Data Book. The example of drilling log is shown in Figure 3.1-1. 3-1 Final Report Vol. II Main Report 1 Figure 3.1-1 Location of drilling points Table 3.1-2 Surface geology of the drilling points Quaternary layer Symbol Age No.
