  • Treating Two 18Th Century Maps of the Danube in Association with Google-Provided Imagery
    ON THE DIGITAL REVIVAL OF HISTORIC CARTOGRAPHY: TREATING TWO 18TH CENTURY MAPS OF THE DANUBE IN ASSOCIATION WITH GOOGLE-PROVIDED IMAGERY Evangelos Livieratos Angeliki Tsorlini Maria Pazarli [email protected] Chrysoula Boutoura Myron Myridis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Surveying Engineering University Campus, Box 497 GRE - 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The great navigable Danube River (known as the Istros River to the Ancient Greeks and as one of the crucial ends of the Roman Empire northern territories) is an emblematic fluvial feature of the overall European historic and cultural heritage in the large. Originating in the German Black Forest as two small rivers (Brigach and Breg) converging at the town of Donaueschingen, Danube is flowing for almost 2850 km mainly eastwards, passing through ten states (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) and four European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) with embouchure in the west coasts of the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, mainly in Romania. Danube played a profound role in the European political, social, economic and cultural history influencing in a multifold manner the heritage of many European nations, some of those without even a physical connection with the River, as it is the case of the Greeks, to whom the Danube is a reference to their own 18th century Enlightenment movement. Due to Danube’s important role in History, the extensive emphasis to its cartographic depiction was obviously a conditio sine qua non especially in the 17th and 18th century European cartography. In this paper, taking advantage of the modern digital technologies as applied in the recently established domain of cartographic heritage, two important and historically significant 18th century maps of the Danube are comparatively discussed in view also to the reference possibilities available today in relevant studies by the digital maps offered by powerful providers as e.g.

    Demographic history, range size and habitat preferences of the groundwater amphipod Niphargus puteanus (C.L. Koch in Panzer, 1836) Dieter Weber1,2, Jean-François Flot1,3, Hannah Weigand2, Alexander M. Weigand2* 1 Université Libre de Bruxelles, Evolutionary Biology & Ecology group, Avenue F.D. Roosevelt 50, B- 1050 Brussels - Belgium 2 Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle Luxembourg, Section de zoologie, 25 Rue Münster, L-2160 Luxembourg, Luxembourg 3 Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels – (IB)2, ULB-VUB, La Plaine Campus, Triomflaan, C building, 6th floor, CP 263, 1050 Brussels, Belgium *corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Niphargus puteanus is the oldest described species of its genus and, in the past, was used as a taxonomic annotation for any subterranean amphipod record. For that reason, no clear knowledge exists about its actual range size and habitat preferences. We here applied a molecular taxonomic and phylogeographical approach based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA to shed light on its distribution and to infer its demographic history. Furthermore, we analysed aquifer types and water flow regimes to provide a clearer picture of the species’ ecological requirements. Our results indicate that N. puteanus is widely distributed north of the Alps, having its core range in the geomorphological natural region of the ‘South German Scarplands’ (SGS). Additionally, isolated satellite populations exist in the Taunus and the Sauerland, and two single individuals were collected in Luxembourg and in Austria, respectively. The species’ maximal distribution range reaches 756 km between the two single-specimen records and 371 km within the SGS. A very high haplotype diversity was observed, revealing the presence of seven haplotype groups.

  • Wo Entspringt Die Donau Wirklich?
    Wo entspringt die Donau wirklich? Neues Ö l ins Feuer einer Jahrhunderte alten Diskussion Die Donaueschinger und die Furtwanger haben ein Problem miteinander! Sie streiten um nicht mehr und nicht weniger als um den Besitz der Donauquelle. Beide haben namhafte Wissenschaftler auf ihrer Seite, die aus der Erforschung der wahren Do- nauquelle teilweise sogar ein Lebenswerk machten. Dabei ließen sie die Querschüsse aus Österreich, die den Inn als Quellfluss der Donau bezeichneten, einfach unbeach- tet. Genauso wie lokalpatriotisch gefärbte Behauptungen, die sogar die Brigach als Quellfluss der Donau ins Spiel brachten. Aber jetzt das! - eine Hypothese Da behauptet plötzlich eine kleine , aufmüpfige Schar von Hobbygeologen und Hei- matforschern aus dem Kreis Tuttlingen, der Krähenbach, der bei Möhringen von Nor- den her in die Donau fließt, sei der Quellfluss der Donau. Der Krähenbach, der höchst unspektakulär als Rinnsal aus einem Waldstück unweit der Mülldeponie Tu- ningen entspringt und dann maximal in den Ausmaßen eines Mühlenkanals das zu- gegebenermaßen meist trockene Flussbett der jungen Donau speist, der soll Ur- sprung der berühmten Donau sein? Die Brigach Sie ist der etwas kleinere der beiden Quellflüsse der Donau und wird in der Diskussi- on meist übergangen. Zwar entspringt sie genau 138 m tiefer als die Bregquelle “nur“ im Keller eines Bauernhaus bei St. Georgen im Schwarzwald, doch ist sie mit ihren 43 Kilometern Länge gerade mal 6 Kilometer Kürzer als ihre größere Schwester. Ohne sie wären die Stadtbilder von Donaueschingen und Villingen deutlich ärmer. Zwischen Villingen und Donaueschingen hat sie sich über Millionen von Jahren ein wunderschönes Tal geschaff en, nach dem die darin wohnenden Menschen ihre Ge- meinde benannt haben (" Brigachtäler ") .

  • Aquatic Macrophytes of the Danube River Near Novi Sad (Yugoslavia, River Km 1255 - 1260)
    Aquatic Macrophytes of the Danube River near Novi Sad (Yugoslavia, river km 1255 - 1260) Janauer, G. A.1, Vukov, D.2, Igic, R.2 With 3 figures and 2 tables in the text Abstract: This study deals with a preliminary investigation of the aquatic vegetation of the Danube system at Novi Sad (Yugoslavia). The macrophyte survey in the main channel of the river and in one small oxbow was performed in 1998. Species richness in this reach of the main channel was intermediate with respect to parts of the river in other countries. The plant mass was very low and very small plant stands were developed. The oxbow is directly connected to the main channel at its lower end, but a considerably higher number of species was present than in the main channel. Again, only very small stands with low biomass were found. This indicates that there are many small niches in the near-bank habitats, but the hydrological dynamics prevent the development of larger vegetation patches. 1 Institute of Ecology and Conservation Biology, University of Vienna, Althanstraβe 14, A-1090 Vienna, Austria. e-mail: [email protected] 2 Institute of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Natural Science, University in Novi Sad, Trg Dositeja Obradovica 2, 21000 Novi Sad, Yugoslavia. e-mail: [email protected] Introduction The Danube is the second largest river in Europe.

  • Drainage Structures and Transit-Time Distributions in Conduit-Dominated
    Drainage structures and transit-time distributions in conduit-dominated and fissured karst aquifer systems Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einer DOKTORIN DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN von der Fakultät für Bauingenieur-, Geo- und Umweltwissenschaften des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Dipl.-Geol. Ute Lauber aus Dachau Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 21.11.2014 Referent: Prof. Dr. Nico Goldscheider Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Tim Bechtel Karlsruhe 2014 Abstract Abstract Abstract Karst aquifers are widely distributed across the world and are important groundwater resources. Solutionally-enlarged conduits embedded in fissured rock matrix result in a highly heterogene- ous underground drainage pattern that makes karst aquifers difficult to characterize. To ensure sustainable protection and management of karst water resources, hydrogeologic knowledge of karst systems is required. However, the quantitative characterization of groundwater flow in karst systems remains a major challenge. Specific investigating techniques and approaches are needed to account for the complexity of drainage. This thesis emphasizes the identification of drainage structures and the quantification of related transit-time distributions and hydraulic pa- rameters. To account for the strong heterogeneities of different types of catchment areas, three diverse karst aquifer systems are investigated: a conduit-dominated karst system, a fissured karst system and an aquifer system that comprises a karst and a porous-media (alluvial/rockfall) aquifer. For a detailed hydrogeologic assessment of the different catchment areas, adapted methods applied include a combination of artificial tracer tests, natural tracer analysis, and dis- charge analysis. The first two parts of this thesis describe a conduit-dominated karst system, the catchment area of the Blautopf (Swabian Alb, Germany).
