    M1928 RECORDS OF THE GERMAN EXTERNAL ASSETS BRANCH OF THE U.S. ALLIED COMMISSION FOR AUSTRIA (USACA) SECTION, 1945–1950 Matthew Olsen prepared the Introduction and arranged these records for microfilming. National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 2003 INTRODUCTION On the 132 rolls of this microfilm publication, M1928, are reproduced reports on businesses with German affiliations and information on the organization and operations of the German External Assets Branch of the United States Element, Allied Commission for Austria (USACA) Section, 1945–1950. These records are part of the Records of United States Occupation Headquarters, World War II, Record Group (RG) 260. Background The U.S. Allied Commission for Austria (USACA) Section was responsible for civil affairs and military government administration in the American section (U.S. Zone) of occupied Austria, including the U.S. sector of Vienna. USACA Section constituted the U.S. Element of the Allied Commission for Austria. The four-power occupation administration was established by a U.S., British, French, and Soviet agreement signed July 4, 1945. It was organized concurrently with the establishment of Headquarters, United States Forces Austria (HQ USFA) on July 5, 1945, as a component of the U.S. Forces, European Theater (USFET). The single position of USFA Commanding General and U.S. High Commissioner for Austria was held by Gen. Mark Clark from July 5, 1945, to May 16, 1947, and by Lt. Gen. Geoffrey Keyes from May 17, 1947, to September 19, 1950. USACA Section was abolished following transfer of the U.S. occupation government from military to civilian authority.

  • A 7000 Yr Runoff Chronology from Varved Sediments of Lake Mondsee (Upper Austria)
    Universität Potsdam Mathemathisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät Institut für Erd- und Umweltwissenschaften und Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam – Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ Sektion 5.2 – Klimadynamik und Landschaftsentwicklung A 7000 yr runoff chronology from varved sediments of Lake Mondsee (Upper Austria) Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades „doctor rerum naturalium“ (Dr. rer. nat.) in der Wissenschaftsdisziplin Geologie/Paläoklimadynamik eingereicht an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Potsdam von Tina Swierczynski Potsdam, den 31.10.2012 Supervisor: apl. Prof. Dr. Achim Brauer Published online at the Institutional Repository of the University of Potsdam: URL http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2013/6670/ URN urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-66702 http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-66702 Abstract The potential increase in frequency and magnitude of extreme floods is currently dis- cussed in terms of global warming and the intensification of the hydrological cycle. The profound knowledge of past natural variability of floods is of utmost importance in order to assess flood risk for the future. Since instrumental flood series cover only the last ~150 years, other approaches to reconstruct historical and pre-historical flood events are needed. Annually laminated (varved) lake sediments are meaningful natural geoarchives because they provide continuous records of environmental changes >10000 years down to a seaso- nal resolution. Since lake basins additionally act as natural sediment traps, the riverine sediment supply, which is preserved as detrital event layers in the lake sediments, can be used as a proxy for extreme discharge events. Within my thesis I examined a ~8.50 m long sedimentary record from the pre-alpine Lake Mondsee (Northeast European Alps), which covered the last 7000 years.

  • An Outline of the Quaternary Stratigraphy of Austria
    Quaternary Science Journal GEOzOn SCiEnCE MEDiA Volume 60 / number 2–3 / 2011 / 366–387 / DOi 10.3285/eg.60.2-3.09 iSSn 0424-7116 E&G www.quaternary-science.net An outline of the Quaternary stratigraphy of Austria Dirk van Husen, Jürgen M. Reitner Abstract: An overview of the Quaternary Stratigraphy in Austria is given. The subdivision of the mappable depositional units is based partly on criteria of lithostratigraphy (lithic properties) and allostratigraphy (e.g. unconformities). Traces of glaciations are missing for the Early Pleistocene period (2.58–0.78 Ma). The few and isolated sediment bodies are documenting fluvial accumulation and loess deposition along the rivers. Paleomagnetically correlated loess-paleosol-sequences like the profil at Stranzendorf including the Gauss/Matuyama boundary respectively Neogen/Quaternary are documenting slightly warmer condition than during during the Middle Pleistocene (0.78–0.13 Ma) which is in accordance with the global 18δ O record. Four major glaciations (Günz, Mindel, Riß, Würm) are proved during Middle and Late Pleistocene. All of these are documented by proglacial sediments topped by basal till, terminal moraines linked with terrace bodies and loess accumulation as well. This allows to recognize the climatic steering of sedimentation in context with advancing glaciers and the dispersion of permafrost and congelifraction as far as into the Alpine foreland. Both youngest major glaciations (Riß and Würm) are correlated according to geochronological data with the Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 6 and 2. The simultaneousness of Günz and Mindel with the phases of massive global climatic deterioration during MIS 16 and 12 seems plausible.

  • Environmental and Social Data Sheet
    Luxembourg, 3 February 2015 Environmental and Social Data Sheet Overview Project Name: STADT-REGIO-TRAM GMUNDEN-VORCHDORF Project Number: 2014-0292 Country: AUSTRIA Project Description: Construction of a rail link between the tram line of the city of Gmunden and the Traunsee regional light railway and acquisition of rolling stock. EIA required: no Project included in Carbon Footprint Exercise1: no (details for projects included are provided in section: “EIB Carbon Footprint Exercise”) Summary of Environmental and Social Assessment, including key issues and overall conclusion and recommendation The project consists of a 900 meter long railway track through the town of Gmunden. The construction of new rail tracks falls within the scope of Annex II of EIA Directive., Due to the short length of the section and the fact that the project is within the built up area and within an existing road corridor, and based on Annex III criteria, the Competent Authority screened the project out. The project crosses the river Traun, but the Nature Competent Authority declared that there are no significant impacts on the protected riverbanks. The project is not close to any Natura 2000 areas. The new tram tracks are constructed close to buildings, including some cultural heritage. The promoter studied noise and vibration impacts extensively. On some sections the maximum norms would be exceeded and so mitigation measures were included in the design of the project, bringing noise and vibration under the prescribed levels. The project is expected to contribute to an overall improvement of the urban environment by encouraging the use of public transport, also reducing private car usage to some extent.

  • Geology and Sedimentary History of Lake Traunsee (Salzkammergut, Austria)

Present-day morphology is characterized by a deep (189 m) narrow trough with steep slopes (> 50°) in the southern part surrounded by the Northern Calcareous Alps. The northern part of the lake is bordered by flysch and glacial deposits with gentle slopes ( < 30°} and exhibits several ridges, basins and troughs. During the late and postglacial period, more than 45 m of sediment has accumulated in the central basin. Sedimentation in the southern part of Traunsee is mainly controlled by the river Traun forming a prograding delta in the south and within the past 50 years - by industrial tailings consisting mainly of calcite. Sedi- ments are distributed by undercurrents and by turbidites. Cores from the central basin thus show an intercala- tion of Traun-derived dolomite-rich sediments with anthropogenic muds from the tailings deposited up to more than 6 km from its source. Within the northern basin, land slides from the flysch region played an important role leading to drastic changes in the morphology of slopes and adjacent basins.

The impressive mountain landscape along with Hallstatt and the region Dachstein Salzkammergut were named world heritage region by UNESCO. Amazing diverse – just like the endless views of the panoramic Alps – there are plenty of opportunities for enjoying leisure and freedom here on the Zwieselalm in Gosau. There is something for everyone here – with long walks or climbing tours or casual strolls. Even if you just want to spend a few hours escaping from everyday life, soaking up the sun in the meadows and enjoying a hearty local snack: you are sure to find everything your heart desires in the Gosau-Zwieselalm walking region. Here are some of the best walking tips and tour suggestions from the Inner Salzkammergut region. Rugged, rocky landscapes, green alpine pastures, bizarre, jagged crags, towers and mighty cliff faces, glacial ice, limestone peaks, isolated high plateaus, virgin forests and scenic mountaintops, mysterious karst springs and reflecting tarns – these images characterize our eight-day hike on and around the Dachstein. The fascination of the Dachstein becomes tangible. We tackle our circumnavigation of the Dachstein in a counter-clockwise direction, since the natural landmarks and the elevation changes blend more harmoniously into the route.
