  • Genesee Valley Glacial and Postglacial Geology from 50000
    Genesee Valley Glacial and Postglacial Geology from 50,000 Years Ago to the Present: A Selective Annotated Review Richard A. Young, Department of Geological Sciences, SUNY, Geneseo, NY 14454 Introduction The global chronology for The Pleistocene Epoch, or “ice age,” has been significantly revised during the last three decades (Alley and Clark, 1999) as a result of the extended and more accurate data provided by deep sea drilling projects, ice core studies from Greenland and Antarctica (Andersen et al. 2006; Svensson et al. 2008), oxygen isotope studies of marine sediments, and climatic proxy data from lake cores, peat bogs, and cave stalactites. These new data have improved our ability to match the Earth’s Milankovitch orbital cycles to the improved ice core and radiometric chronologies (ages based on radiocarbon, U-Th, U-Pb). However, the Milankovitch theory has recently been the subject of renewed controversy, and not all cyclical climatic phenomena are directly reconcilable with Milankovitch’s original ideas (Ridgwell et al., 1999; Ruddiman, 2006). Overall, it is evident that there must have been as many as 20 or more glacial cycles in the last 2.5 million years, not all of which necessarily resulted in the expansion of large ice sheets as far south as the United States-Canadian border. The International Union of Geological Sciences recently adopted a change for the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary, extending the beginning of the Pleistocene Epoch back from 1.8 to 2.588 million years Before Present (BP). The average length of the most recent glacial- interglacial cycles (also known as “Stages”) is on the order of 100,000 years, with 10,000 to 15,000 years being the approximate length of the interglacial warm episodes between the longer cold cycles (also known as cold stadials and warm interstadials).

  • Section IV 1 Section IV Proposed Land and Water Uses And
    City of Rochester Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Amendment Section IV Proposed Land and Water Uses and Proposed Projects Introduction The policies of the City of Rochester's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) were developed into a cohesive, physical plan for the city's waterfront area through the identification of appropriate land uses and projects for the various subareas within the LWRP boundary. These land uses and projects, in turn, reflect and implement the city's policy goals and statements for the waterfront area as outlined in Section III Policies. The process of developing appropriate land uses and projects included the identification of general land use subareas, assessment of the city's land use needs, and consideration of the development potential and constraints of major waterfront sites within the LWRP boundary. In addition, the city evaluated the proposed land uses and projects against the applicable policy goals and statements, in order to ensure that the land use plan was consistent with those policy objectives. A citizen's advisory committee (CAC) was formed to aid city staff in the preparation of development objectives and specific recommendations of the land use plan. Identification of LWRP Subareas In order to determine the types of land uses and projects which represented the most appropriate use of the city's waterfront resources, the area within the LWRP boundary was divided into 6 subareas. These subareas include: Subarea A-Durand-Eastman Park Subarea B-Open Space / Critical Environmental Areas Subarea C1-Developed portion of the Upland Area Subarea C2 -Buildable portion of the Upland Area Subarea D -River Harbor Zone and Lakefront Area Subarea E-Industrial Areas Each subarea was further divided into subzones which are shown on Map IV-1.
