  • Browse the Nur Sultan, Kazakhstan Meeting Report Here
    An International, Regional Meeting on Land-Cover/Land-Use Changes, Water- Energy-Food Security, and Sustainability in Central Asia and Caucasus 16-18th September 2019, Nur Sultan, Kazakhstan Krishna Vadrevu*, Chris Justice$ and Garik Gutman^ *NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, USA $University of Maryland College Park, USA ^NASA Head Quarters, USA Meeting Summary Several countries in Central Asia are undergoing rapid land use/cover changes due to industrial development. In addition, agriculture and water resources are highly impacted due to land degradation and climate change in the region. Agriculture in these countries is highly dependent on the irrigated water. There are two defining characteristics of water in Central Asia; one is the endorheic nature of the region - Central Asia’s rivers either enter terminal lakes that lack outlets or they simply disappear before reaching any larger water body. Evaporation and infiltration exceed precipitation in the arid plains. This leads to the second defining characteristic: the region’s unusual dependence on precipitation that falls at high elevations. Some of this water is retained in glaciers, but much of it flows down to the arid, more heavily populated lower elevations. Climate change, glacial retreat, dam construction, water use for irrigation, and infrastructure development have significantly altered hydrological processes in the region, imposing a major threat to water- energy-food (WEF) security. The additional character was the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, before which resources utilization was coordinated to balance water-energy-food through centralized governance. Independence allowed the individual states to monetize rather than trade their resources across international boundaries.

  • Plate Tectonics Earthquakes in Christchurch and Northern Japan in 2011 and the Haiti Earthquake in 2010 Caused Massive Destruction and Loss of Life
    PROOFS 5 PAGE PLATE TECTONICS Earthquakes in Christchurch and northern Japan in 2011 and the Haiti earthquake in 2010 caused massive destruction and loss of life. What caused these and other earthquakes and volcanic eruptionsUNCORRECTED in the Earth’s history? From space, the Earth looks very peaceful, but movements of the Earth’s surface can cause huge changes. Did you know that the highest place on the Earth, Mount Everest, was once under the sea? It has been pushed up by movements of the Earth’s surface. Similar fossil specimens and rock types have been found on opposite sides of vast oceans. How can this be explained? TECTONIC PLATES 5.1 Looking at a map of the world it is easy to see why people started wondering if the continents once fitted together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The distribution of some plants and animals and even fossil species cannot be explained unless the continents had drifted apart over time. These continents have slowly moved across the face of the planet, separating and potentially isolating populations. Whilst these organisms have adapted to their new unique environmental conditions, the rocks that were formed when the continents were joined have remained the same. Students: » •outline how the theory of plate tectonics changed ideas about the structure of and changes in the Earth’s surface » •relate continental drift to convectionPROOFS currents and gravitational forces ACTIVITY AT PLAPAGETE BOUN DARIES 5.2 As the huge tectonic plates move across the surface of the Earth, they collide, grind past one another or slowly pull away from each other.

  • Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes
    Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes Sevket Akyildiz Introduction Uzbekistan was officially established in 1924 by the victorious Bolsheviks as part of a larger union-wide „Soviet people‟ building project. To legitimate and consolidate Moscow‟s rule the southern, largely Muslim, Asian territories (including Uzbekistan) were reorganized under the national delimitation processes of the 1920s and 1930s. Establishing the Soviet republics from the territory formerly known as Turkestan was based upon language, economics, history, culture and ethnicity. Soviet identity building was a dual process fostering state-civic institutions and identity and local national (ethnic) republic identity and interests. The creation of the national republics was part of the Soviet policy of multiculturalism best described a mixed-salad model (and is similar to the British multicultural society model). (Soviet ethnographers termed ethnicity as nationality.) Uzbekistan is situated within Central Asia, a region that the Russians term “Middle Asia and Kazakhstan” – some Western authors also term it “Inner Asia”. Uzbekistan stretches south-east from the Aral Sea towards the Pamir Mountains, and shares borders with Afghanistan (137km), Kazakhstan (2,203km), Kyrgyzstan (1,099km), Tajikistan (1,161km), and Turkmenistan (1,161km). The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The Uzbeks are a Turkic-speaking people largely Turkic (and Mongol) by descent - and predominately Sunni (Hanafi) Muslim by religious practice. Between 1917 and 1985 the population of Uzbekistan rose from approximately 5 million to 18 million people. However, Uzbekistan was a Soviet multicultural society, and during the Soviet period it contained more than 1.5 million Russian settlers and also included Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Tajik, Tatars, and several of Stalin‟s deported peoples.

    ISSUE The official Newsletter #3 of all things Lallemand Brewing! elcome to the latest edition of the newsletter. If we had been asked in 2019 ‘what is the biggest threat our industry will face in W2020’ the responses would not have included ‘coping with the NEXT impact of a global pandemic that required the closure of vast numbers of pubs, clubs, and restaurants’. Well, it happened, and with devastating effect. Small craft breweries without the luxury of SKU flexibility needed to Events switch quickly to alternative income streams and some were hit particularly hard. However, as I write, from my office at AB Vickers in Burton upon Trent, where luckily we have continued operations throughout, I see encouraging signs that the British brewing industry is starting to emerge from the crisis. The July 24 phones are ringing with greater frequency and email inboxes are filling – we Online Agraria are bringing employees back from furlough to cope with increasing demand. This is happening elsewhere around the globe, albeit at different rates depending on the local Workshop www.agraria.com.br containment of "the virus" (I shall not speak its name). Having spent 36 years in this industry, witnessing several tumultuous ‘industry defining’ events, this renewed activity brings a great sense of relief. We may be required to embrace the "new normal" but if this can be done whilst sept. 18 – Oct. 8 enjoying a pint of cask conditioned British ale in my local pub, in the (relatively) close company of WBC Connect 2020 friends and family, then I relish the thought.
