One of the outputs of this meeting was the establishment of the European Working Group on Earth Science Conservation, which evolved into ProGEO by 1993. Since then, 33 years have passed during which the discipline of Geoheritage has been consolidated worldwide, making Geoconservation a reality. The great advances achieved have materialized in specific legislation for geological heritage and geodiversity, the creation of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Program, the International Commission on Geoheritage (International Union of Geological Sciences), and the Geoheritage Experts Group of IUCN. It is within this international framework that ProGEO will this year 2021 become a worldwide scientific organization. The Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME) has extensive experience in geoconservation, dating back to the 1970s. IGME was the organizer of the 3rd ProGEO Symposium in 1999 at Madrid, and is now once again the organizer of this 10th ProGEO Symposium, with the motto “Building Connections for Global Geoconservation”. We all would have liked to celebrate this Symposium in Segovia, as it had originally been planned for 2020, enjoying the architecture, gastronomy and night life of this beautiful city. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to postpone its celebration to 2021, and the global circumstances further forced a change of plans, obliging to carry out the Symposium fully virtual (online), adapting to the new reality, but also free of charge, thanks to the contributions of ProGEO and IGME. Far from being an obstacle, this online Symposium has facilitated the participation of more than 400 attendees from 58 different countries, with the presentation of 147 abstracts that are included in this book into 7 scientific sessions dedicated to: 1) inventories and research; 2) management and conservation; 3) education and public outreach; 4) geotourism, UNESCO Global Geoparks and local development; 5) geoconservation in protected areas; 6) moveable geoheritage; and 7) geoheritage and cultural heritage. We hope that the next ProGEO Symposium can be held with the entire scientific community in full contact, sharing experiences and knowledge of geoheritage and geoconservation on real geosites, and sharing moments together as we had always done. Opening doors to a global reality, with new countries and new colleagues, will be one of the best achievements of our international association after the Declaration of the 'Rights of the Memory of the Earth', written and approved at Digne-les-Bains (France) in 1991, 30 years ago: Our history and the history of the Earth cannot be separated. Its origins are our origins, its history is our history, and its future will be our future.

Karot, gölün güneybatı bölümünden, 9 m su derinliğinden gravite karotiyer kullanılarak alınmıştır. 55 cm uzunluğundaki bu karottan alınan örneklerden elde edilen palinolojik verilere göre, göl çevresinde, çökelme süresince otsu bir paleoflora hakim olmuştur. Büyük oranda Poaceae familyasına ait polenlerin baskın olduğu gözlenmiştir. Elde edilen flora, günümüzdeki bitki örtüsü ile benzer olup çökelim süresince göl çevresinde step vejetasyonunun baskın olduğunu göstermektedir.

    Final Report, December 2012 The Project for Tirana Thematic Urban Planning 7.6 Enhancement of On-going Project and Expansion for Sewerage System The consulting services for Greater Tirana Sewerage Improvement Project commenced in February 2010 based on the contract made in October 2009 between MOPWT and the Consultant. Their work includes the following nine components. Review of Basic Design, Existing Studies and Preparation of Necessary Materials; Detailed Design (D/D) for First Stage project; Assistance of Tender and Contract Procedures; Construction Supervision; Development and Implementation of Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan; Training for Sewerage Sectors’ O&M and Other Technical and Institutional Training; Awareness Raising and Education Campaign to promote house connections; Feasibility Study for Second Stage project; and Institutional Capacity Building of DPUK (and/or Project Implementation Unit: PIU). Through the review of Consultants’ design report and discussion with them, the following 11 points are notably described to enhance the on-going project and also the next stage plan. (1) Development of Self-financed Construction of the Sewer Pipes The branch sewer in the on-going loan project was shortened from the original 27.6 km in 2007 JICA Report to 8.85 km in pre-qualification public notice following discussions with DPUK and UKT. To secure the inflow volume at the first stage, it is required that UKT self-finance construction of the branch sewer defined as out of scope of the loan project within priority project area. (2) Assistance to Phase II of the Kashar SD Japanese ODA loan consultant is required to prepare the Feasibility Study Report of Phase II of Kashar SD before the end of Phase I construction work so that a series of processes from financial arrangements to the contract will be smoothly executed.

Arch Pet Environ Biotechnol APEB-127. DOI: 10.29011/2574-7614. 100027 Received Date: 22 January, 2018; Accepted Date: 6 February, 2018; Published Date: 12 February, 2018 Abstract The Albanides are part of the Alpine Orogenic belt and represent one most significant of fields in SE Europe. They are located between the Hellendes of Greece and Dina rides of Montenegro, which together form the Southern branch of Mediterranean Alpine belt. During the Jurassic and most of the Cretaceous the Adriatic-Apulia sub-plate moved in the east and northeast direction, relative to Euro Asia. At this time, it was mainly affected by the extensional tectonics, thus forming a series of parallel ridges and forrous. Owing to the different depositional environments, these alterations of horst and graben units structures formed a series of tectonic zones with alternating deep and shallow marine lithofacies. As result of a further Adriatic-Apulia sub-plate movement towards SE during the Late Cretaceous the tectonic style changed from extensional to compression. During the Neogene’s the northwards movement of the African Plate, enhanced compression, leading to a large scale folding and thrusting in the SW direction in Albania and NW of Greece.

In many archaeological sites located on Mt Süphan and the surrounding foothills in the Murat Valley-Muş Plains, fortresses and cemeteries, situated on the western slope of the mountain, are in large quantities. The most remarkable sites of our survey are settlement complexes. It seems that highlands, which had been very limitedly used in Early Bronze Age-Kura Araxes, were highly densely populated from Middle Bronze to the Early Iron Age. The cemeteries of Middle Bronze Age, found widespread on the highlands of Mt Süphan, imply the existence of a considerable population, no related settlements is observed. Settlement pattern again changed in the Late Bronze-Early Iron Age, as shown by the highland fortresses- cemeteries.

  • Archaeobotanical Studies at the Urartian Site of Ayanis in Van Province, Eastern Turkey
    Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2013) 37: 282-296 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/botany/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-1204-3 Archaeobotanical studies at the Urartian site of Ayanis in Van Province, eastern Turkey Tuğba SOLMAZ, Emel OYBAK DÖNMEZ* Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Hacettepe University, 06800 Beytepe, Ankara, Turkey Received: 03.04.2012 Accepted: 18.09.2012 Published Online: 15.03.2013 Printed: 15.04.2013 Abstract: Archaeobotanical macro remains recovered from the Ayanis fortress and the outer town of the Urartian period of the Iron Age (685–645 BC), located in the area of Van (Turkey), were investigated. Most of the remains were charred due to fire. Large quantities of Hordeum vulgare L. (hulled barley), Panicum miliaceum L. (broomcorn millet), and Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauvois (foxtail millet) were found at the study site, indicating the storage of agricultural surplus. Other types of cereal remains were also recorded, including Triticum aestivum L. (bread wheat) and Secale cereale L. (rye). Ground wheat grains were also recovered and their starch microstructure under scanning electron microscope suggests that these remains represent a bulgur-like food preparation. The data suggest that in the area of Ayanis plant-based agricultural activities were based mainly on cereals in the Iron Age. The findings also include fruits of Carum carvi L. (caraway, Persian cumin), Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander), and Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Fuss (parsley). In view of the folkloric use of these plants, it is thought that the material from Ayanis represents condiments and/or medicinal herbs used by the Urartians in Anatolia about 2600 years ago.
