  • I. the Parallel Roads of Lochaber Have Presented to Geologists a Problem, Which Is Still Unsolved
    (595) XXVII.—On the Parallel Roads of Lochaber. By DAVID MILNE HOME, LL.D, (Plates XLL, XLIL, XLIII.) (Read 15th May 1876.) I. The Parallel Roads of Lochaber have presented to geologists a problem, which is still unsolved. Dr MACCULLOCH, about sixty years ago, when President of the Geological Society of London, first called attention to these peculiar markings on the Lochaber Hills, by an elaborate Memoir afterwards published in that Society's Transactions. He was followed by Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, who in the year 1824, read a paper in our own Society, illustrated by excellent sketches. His paper is in our Transactions. The next author who attempted a solution was the present Mr CHARLES DARWIN. He maintained that these Roads were sea-beaches, formed, when this part of Europe was rising from beneath the Ocean. He was followed by Professor AGASSIZ, Dr BUCKLANB, CHARLES BABBAGE, Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, ROBERT CHAMBERS, Professor ROGERS, Sir GEORGE M'KENZIE, Mr JAMIESON of Ellon, Professor NICOL, Mr BRYCE of Glasgow, Mr WATSON, and Mr JOLLY of Inverness. Sir CHARLES LYELL, though he wrote no special memoir, treated the subject pretty fully in his works, giving an opinion in support of the views of AGASSIZ. I took some little part myself in the discussion, having in the year 1847 read a paper in this Society, which was published in our Transactions. During the last five or six years, there has been an entire cessation of both investigation and discussion, in consequence probably of a desire to await the publication of more correct maps of the district, which at the request of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Ordnance Survey Department undertook.

  • Lochaber Hydropower Scheme Consultancy Services for Rehabilitation of Scheme Infrastructure
    05_ENERGY Lochaber Hydropower Scheme Consultancy Services for Rehabilitation of Scheme Infrastructure Spilling of Laggan Dam | Photo: Multiconsult The Lochaber Hydropower Scheme was first commissioned in 1929 and expanded in two subsequent stages to provide an original installed capacity of 75 MW and an annual energy production of some 460 GWh. The scheme comprises three principal reservoirs in cascade – Spey reservoir at the upstream end, Loch Laggan and reservoir and Loch Treig. No major rehabilitation works had been undertaken of the scheme until in 2009 replanting of the power station was commenced, being completed in November 2011 providing the scheme with a new installed capacity of 90 MW and annual energy production in excess of 600 GWh. The scheme’s main tunnel has not been dewatered for 35 years due to the reliance of the adjacent aluminium smelter upon the power produced by the scheme. Multiconsult is undertaking a strategic review to assess the next stages of rehabilitation and timing of the shutdwon of the scheme.

  • Global Survey of Revitalization Efforts: a Mixed Methods Approach to Understanding Language Revitalization Practices
    Vol. 13 (2019), pp. 446–513 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24871 Revised Version Received: 22 May 2019 Global Survey of Revitalization Efforts: A mixed methods approach to understanding language revitalization practices Gabriela Pérez Báez University of Oregon & Smithsonian Institution Rachel Vogel Cornell University Uia Patolo Auckland University of Technology The world’s linguistic diversity, estimated at over 7,000 languages, is declining rapidly. As awareness about this has increased, so have responses from a number of stakeholders. In this study we present the results of the Global Survey of Re- vitalization Efforts carried out by a mixed methods approach and comparative analysis of revitalization efforts worldwide. The Survey included 30 questions, was administered online in 7 languages, and documented 245 revitalization ef- forts yielding some 40,000 bits of data. In this study, we report on frequency counts and show, among other findings, that revitalization efforts are heavily fo- cused on language teaching, perhaps over intergenerational transmission of a lan- guage, and rely heavily on community involvement although do not only involve language community members exclusively. The data also show that support for language revitalization in the way of funding, as well as endorsement, is critical to revitalization efforts. This study also makes evident the social, cultural, polit- ical, and geographic gaps in what we know about revitalization worldwide. We hope that this study will strengthen broad interest and commitment to studying, understanding, and supporting language revitalization as an integral aspect of the history of human language in the 21st century. 1.
