EFAS Bulletin April – May 2016 Issue 2016(3) European Flood Awareness System EFAS Bulletin April – May 2016 Issue 2016(3) The European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) produces European overviews of ongoing and forecasted floods up to 15 days in advance and contributes to better protection of the European citizens, the environment, prop- erties and cultural heritage. It has been developed at the European Commission’s in house science service, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), in close collaboration with national hydrological and meteorological services and policy DG's of the European Commission. EFAS has been transferred to operations under the European Commission's COPERNICUS Emergency Manage- ment Service led by DG ENTR in direct support to the EU’s Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) of DG ECHO and the hydrological services in the Member States. ECMWF has been awarded the contract for the EFAS Computational centre. It is responsible for providing daily operational EFAS forecasts and 24/7 support to the technical system. A consortium of Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) and Slovak Hy- dro-Meteorological Institute (SHMU) has been awarded the contract for the EFAS Dissemination centre. They are responsible for analysing EFAS output and disseminating information to the partners and the ERCC. A Spanish consortium (REDIAM and ELIMCO) has been awarded the contract for the EFAS Hydrological data col- lection centre. They are responsible for collecting discharge and water level data across Europe. A German consortium (KISTERS and DWD) has been awarded the contract for the EFAS Meteorological data col- lection centre. They are responsible for collecting the meteorological data needed to run EFAS over Europe. Finally, the JRC is responsible for the overall project management related to EFAS and further development of the system.

These paleochannels are filled by mixed or stratified clastic and organic sediments originating from different sediment sources. Identifying these sediments' provenance is critically important for understanding past surface processes and reconstructing the Upper Rhine Valley evolution in the course of the Holocene. This study employed mid-infrared spectroscopy to determine the source of sediments and, therefore, understand which rivers may have contributed to the paleochannel infilling and establish the main patterns of filling through time. Sediment samples with unknown sedimentary provenance were collected in 16 sites consisting of paleochannels and the Ill River's levees. Mid-Infrared spectroscopic analyses were carried out on powdered (< 2 mm) samples using a Frontier Spectrometer (PerkinElmer) equipped with Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform accessory.

Transplanted strains keep their inherited spawning time in the new environment for many generations - spawning time is stock specific. The timing of reproduction ensures optimal timing of hatching and initial feeding for the offspring (Heggberget 1988) and is of selective importance Spawning time of non-native stocks in river Gudenau (Denmark) (G. Holdensgaard, DCV, unpublished data) and spawning time of the extirpated Sieg salmon (hist. records) A common garden experiment - spawning period (lines) and peak-spawning (boxes) of five introduced (= allochthonous) stocks returning to river Gudenau (Denmark) (n= 443) => the Ätran strain demonstrates the closest consistency with the ancient Sieg strain (Middle Rhine).

FOREWORD Dear Cyclists, Discovering Europe on a bicycle – the Rhine Cycle Route makes it possible. It runs from the Alps to a North Sea beach and on its way links Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands. This guide will point the way. Within the framework of the EU-funded “Demarrage” project, the Rhine Cycle Route has been trans- formed into a top tourism product. For the first time, the whole course has been signposted from the source to the mouth. Simply follow the EuroVelo15 symbol. The Rhine Cycle Route is also the first long distance cycle path to be certified in accordance with a new European standard. Testers belonging to the German ADFC cyclists organisation and the European Cyclists Federation have examined the whole course and evaluated it in accordance with a variety of criteria. This guide is another result of the European cooperation along the Rhine Cycle Route. We have broken up the 1233-kilometre course up into 13 sections and put together cycle-friendly accom- modation, bike stations, tourist information and sightseeing attractions – the basic package for an unforgettable cycle touring holiday.

  • From the Northern Ice Shield to the Alpine Glaciations a Quaternary Field Trip Through Germany
    DEUQUA excursions Edited by Daniela Sauer From the northern ice shield to the Alpine glaciations A Quaternary field trip through Germany GEOZON From the northern ice shield to the Alpine glaciations Preface Daniela Sauer The 10-day field trip described in this excursion guide was organized by a group of members of DEUQUA (Deutsche Quartärvereinigung = German Quaternary Union), coordinated by DEUQUA president Margot Böse. The tour was offered as a pre-congress field trip of the INQUA Congress in Bern, Switzerland, 21– 27 July 2011. Finally, the excursion got cancelled because not enough participants had registered. Apparently, many people were interested in the excursion but did not book it because of the high costs related to the 10-day trip. Because of the general interest, we decided nevertheless to finish the excursion guide. The route of the field trip follows a section through Germany from North to South, from the area of the Northern gla- ciation, to the Alpine glacial advances. It includes several places of historical importance, where milestones in Quaternary research have been achieved in the past, as well as new interesting sites where results of recent research is presented. The field trip starts at Greifswald in the very North-East of Germany. The first day is devoted to the Pleistocene and Ho- locene Evolution of coastal NE Germany. The Baltic coast with its characteristic cliffs provides excellent exposures showing the Late Pleistocene and Holocene stratigraphy and glaciotectonics. The most spectacular cliffs that are located on the island of Rügen, the largest island of Germany (926 km2) are shown.

  • REDATING AUSONIUS' MOSELLE 1 Traditional Dating of Ausonius' Most Famous and Perhaps Most Important Poem Rests on Several Passages in the Poem Itself: 1
    REDATING AUSONIUS' MOSELLE 1 Traditional dating of Ausonius' most famous and perhaps most important poem rests on several passages in the poem itself: 1. The opening of Moselle (1-22) recounts Ausonius1 movements as he was journeying from Bingen to Trier. It is usually assumed that this journey had been undertaken in conjunction with a military campaign in which Ausonius and his pupil, Gratian, participated or which, more precisely, they observed around the year 368.1 2. Verses 409-11 refer to an office which has been often interpreted as a consulate, and to an eminent personality identified by most as Sextus Petronius Probus who became consul in 371.2 3. Verses 420-25 refer to a Roman military victory of a father and his son, usually taken to have been that of Solicinium in 368 in which the presence of Valentinian and Gratian is attested by Ammi- anus.3 4. Towards the end of the poem (450) Ausonius mentions the emperor and his sons. Since Valentinian's second son was only born on July 2, 371, this line would have been written in that year or, at the earliest, in late 370. By scholarly consensus, then, Ausonius composed Moselle in 370/3714 Yet, these references are not as decisive as the case so far made suggests, and in what follows I propose to re-examine them with a view to identifying afresh Moselle1 s date or dates of composition and publication. *To avoid cross references to the different numbering systems adopted by the editors of the complete works of Ausonius, I normally give the full title of the work in question.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This study examines Mapuche political organization in Chile from 1920-1960 through the lens of transnational indigenismo. In that period, politicians, academics and social reformers across the Americas were questioning how to incorporate indigenous populations into modern national states. While many historical accounts of similar phenomena in other countries have drawn categorical distinctions between indigenismo (as a movement led by white elites) and indigenous activism (led by Indians themselves), this work places the two phenomena side-by-side to explore connections between them. That approach shows that collaboration, periodic conflict and strategic alliance making were important components of indigenous politics in Chile. It also brings indigenous agency to the fore, and in doing so challenges historical interpretations of indigenismo that have characterized it as a paternalistic mechanism of the neocolonial state. It joins a growing body of scholarship that recognizes indigenismo as an important influence on and precursor to identity-based indigenous social movements that emerged in the late-twentieth century.
