  • Forest Fires and Climate in Alaska and Sakha Forest Fires Near Yakutsk
    Forest Fires and Climate in Alaska and Sakha Forest Fires Near Yakutsk Hiroshi Hayasaka*, ** * Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, JAPAN ** CREST, JST (Japan Science and Technology Corporation) ABSTRACT This paper describes forest fires and weather in Alaska, North America and Sakha, Eastern part or Far East Siberia. Number of forest fires in Sakha is three times greater than that of Alaska. On the other hand, the mean annual burnt area in both places is almost the same and is about 2,400 km-2. Mean air temperature rise from 1830 in Yakutsk, Sakha was about 3OC. In Yakutsk, remarkable temperature rise begun from 1970’s. On the contrary, precipitation trend from 1890 shows gradual decreasing trend begun from 1970’s. Forest fire histories from the middle of 1950’s in Alaska and Sakha show that average burnt area become larger and larger from 1990’s. These climate trends push boreal forest very flammable. Under climate condition of higher air temperature and lower precipitation, large forest fires occurred near Yakustk, Sakha, in 2002. The cause of large forest fires is discussed from the climate point of view. Key words: Forest Fires, Hot Spot, Global Warming, Climate, Precipitation 1. INTRODUCTION The boreal forest or so-called Taiga is one of the largest contiguous forest areas in the world. Taiga becomes very flammable from spring to fall because total precipitation amount is only less than about 300mm. In addition, temperature rise due to global warming will make good conditions for forest fire. Fire incidence in high latitude may become to increase due to ongoing global warming because precipitation is low.

In particular, changes to local and global climate parameters influence vector and water-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. The Republic of Sakha in northern Russia is no exception. Long-term trends of increasing annual temperatures and thawing permafrost have corresponded with the northward range expansion of tick-species in the Republic. Indigenous communities living in these remote areas may be severely affected by human and livestock diseases introduced by disease vectors like ticks. To better understand the risk of vector-borne diseases in Sakha, we aimed to describe the Citation: Vladimirov, L.N.; increase and spatial spread of tick-bite cases in the Republic.

B.

It is established that the Ussuri and Lipovtsy forma tions in the reference section of the Markovskii Peninsula rest with unconformity upon Upper Triassic strata. The continuous Cretaceous succession is revealed in the Peschanka River area of the northern Muravyov Amurskii Peninsula, where plant remains were first sampled from the lower and upper parts of the Korkino Group, which are determined to be the late Albian–late Cenmanian in age. The taxonomic composition of floral assemblages from the Ussuri, Lipovtsy, and Galenki formations is widened owing to additional finds of plant remains. The Korkino Group received floral characteristics for the first time. The Cretaceous flora of the peninsula is represented by 126 taxa. It is established that ferns and conifers are dominant elements of the Ussuri floral assemblage, while the Lipovtsy Assemblage is dominated by ferns, conifers, and cycadphytes. In addition, the latter assemblage is characterized by the highest taxonomic diversity. The Galenki Assemblage is marked by the first appearance of rare flowering plants against the background of dominant ferns and coni fers.

  • Asia-Europe Connectivity Vision 2025
    Asia–Europe Connectivity Vision 2025 Challenges and Opportunities The Asia–Europe Meeting (ASEM) enters into its third decade with commitments for a renewed and deepened engagement between Asia and Europe. After 20 years, and with tremendous global and regional changes behind it, there is a consensus that ASEM must bring out a new road map of Asia–Europe connectivity and cooperation. It is commonly understood that improved connectivity and increased cooperation between Europe and Asia require plans that are both sustainable and that can be upscaled. Asia–Europe Connectivity Vision 2025: Challenges and Opportunities, a joint work of ERIA and the Government of Mongolia for the 11th ASEM Summit 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, provides the ideas for an ASEM connectivity road map for the next decade which can give ASEM a unity of purpose comparable to, if not more advanced than, the integration and cooperation efforts in other regional groups. ASEM has the platform to create a connectivity blueprint for Asia and Europe. This ASEM Connectivity Vision Document provides the template for this blueprint. About ERIA The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) was established at the Third East Asia Summit (EAS) in Singapore on 21 November 2007. It is an international organisation providing research and policy support to the East Asia region, and the ASEAN and EAS summit process. The 16 member countries of EAS—Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam, Australia, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, and New Zealand—are members of ERIA. Anita Prakash is the Director General of Policy Department at ERIA.

  • The European Fortifications on the Coast of the Pacific Ocean
    Scientific Journal of Latvia University of Agriculture Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 10, Number 10 The European fortifications on the coast of the Pacific Ocean Nikolay Kasyanov, Research Institute of Theory and History of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences, Moscow, Russia Abstract. In the Russian Empire during XIX and early XX centuries, fortresses were built and strengthened along the frontiers. We studied the architecture of the Far Eastern Russian cities-fortresses using as examples Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Port Arthur (now Luishun) and mainly Vladivostok. Coastal fortresses significantly influenced the urban development of the Far Eastern cities. The architectural peculiarity of the fortress architecture at that period was associated with the transition from the brick and stone fortifications to the complex systems of monolithic reinforced concrete. In 1860, a military post with the expressive and geopolitically ambitious name "Vladivostok" ("Possess the East") was established. By the beginning of the XX century, Vladivostok became a rapidly growing city of the European culture and one of the most powerful marine fortresses in the world. The Vladivostok Fortress was an innovative project in early XX century and has distinctive features of the modern style (Art Nouveau), partly of the Russian and classical style in architecture, as well as an organic unity with the surrounding landscape. Plastic architectural masses with their non-linear shape are typical of the fortifications of Vladivostok. Vast and branching internal communication spaces link fort buildings, scattered on the surface and remote from each other. Huge, monumental forts located on the tops of mountains and fitted perfectly in the landscape are successful examples of landscape architecture.

  • State of Uncertainty Educating the First Railroaders in Central Sakha (Yakutiya)
    State of Uncertainty Educating the First Railroaders in Central Sakha (Yakutiya) Sigrid Irene Wentzel Abstract In July 2019, the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in the Republic of Sakha (Ya- kutiya), the Russian Far East, was fi nally able to celebrate the opening of an eagerly awaited railroad passenger connection. Th rough analysis of rich eth- nographic data, this article explores the “state of uncertainty” caused by re- peated delays in construction of the railroad prior to this and focuses on the eff ect of these delays on students of a local transportation college. Th is college prepares young people for railroad jobs and careers, promising a steady in- come and a place in the Republic’s wider modernization project. Th e research also reveals how the state of uncertainty led to unforeseen consequences, such as the seeding of doubt among students about their desire to be a part of the Republic’s industrialization drive. Keywords economic development, education, infrastructure supply, planning, railways, Russia, uncertainty, youth When I came to the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in April 2015 to do fi eldwork, I happened to be the only guest at Anya’s guesthouse. “What are you doing here?” she asked. “I want to study the railroad development and its eff ects on the people,” I responded. Amused, yet skeptical, Anya replied, “I am afraid you won’t fi nd anything to study here, the railroad is not really working. Everybody prepared for the opening, the young got educated and now . nothing.”1 While the existence of railway connections may be taken for granted in some parts of the world, few places today off er the opportunity to observe the in- stallation of a new railway line.
