Besides, ECA&D provides the ECSN-GCMP project and its successor EuClis with monitoring products. ECA&D is connected to UNI- DART (see also Chapter 4).

    CLIMATIC VARIABILITY IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE AND ITS SOCIAL DIMENSION: A SYNTHESIS CHRISTIAN PFISTER', RUDOLF BRAzDIL2 IInstitute afHistory, University a/Bern, Unitobler, CH-3000 Bern 9, Switzerland 2Department a/Geography, Masaryk University, Kotlar8M 2, CZ-61137 Bmo, Czech Republic Abstract. The introductory paper to this special issue of Climatic Change sununarizes the results of an array of studies dealing with the reconstruction of climatic trends and anomalies in sixteenth­ century Europe and their impact on the natural and the social world. Areas discussed include glacier expansion in the Alps, the frequency of natural hazards (floods in central and southem Europe and stonns on the Dutch North Sea coast), the impact of climate deterioration on grain prices and wine production, and finally, witch-hlllltS. The documentary data used for the reconstruction of seasonal and annual precipitation and temperatures in central Europe (Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic) include narrative sources, several types of proxy data and 32 weather diaries. Results were compared with long-tenn composite tree ring series and tested statistically by cross-correlating series of indices based OIl documentary data from the sixteenth century with those of simulated indices based on instrumental series (1901-1960). It was shown that series of indices can be taken as good substitutes for instrumental measurements. A corresponding set of weighted seasonal and annual series of temperature and precipitation indices for central Europe was computed from series of temperature and precipitation indices for Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the weights being in proportion to the area of each country. The series of central European indices were then used to assess temperature and precipitation anomalies for the 1901-1960 period using trmlsfer functions obtained from instrumental records.

    Clare in WW2 - The Emergency - WW2 /Emergency Stories from Clare Stories from Clare D Day 1944 - The 2nd US Rangers By Ger Browne The aim of this project is to find out how many men and women from Clare took part in WW2, and the effect of the war on Clare. It is hoped that an extension will be added to the Great War Memorial in Ennis that will include the names of the Clare War Dead from WW2 / The Emergency. At the moment we know that 86 died from Clare as well as in Clare. I would like to thank Keir McNamara, and his late father Peadar McNamara for all their research on WW1 and WW2. Eric Shaw, who has been providing me with amazing WW1 and WW2 information for years, and all the following who have helped make this project possible. Paddy Waldron, The Local Studies Centre, Peter Beirne, Brian Doyle, Guss O’Halloran, Sean Glennon, Jim Molohan, Joe Ó Muircheartaigh, Eddie Lough, Local Parish Booklets, The Clare Champion and The Clare People. I have also named the sources, with many of the names below. I thank them all. The following websites: findagrave website, ancestry.com, fold3.com, http://www.ww2irishaviation.com, and the Commonwealth War Grave Commission. Finally thanks to the Clare Library for publishing all the information, and Larry and James Brennan along with the Clare Roots Society, for all their help. 1 Contents Clare during WW2 / The Emergency Page 3 The LDF in Clare Page 4 Supplies, Rationong and Poverty in Clare Page 6 Plane crashes and landings in Clare during WW2 Page 9 The stealing of a plane from Rineanna Aerodrome Page 26 Ships Mined and Torpedoed off the Clare Coast Page 28 Clare Key to WW2 German Invasion Plans - ‘Operation Green’ Page 29 EIRE Signs of WW II – Loophead Page 30 The Great War Memorial in Ennis The new Clare Great War Memorial in Ennis.

  • Voorstel Aan Gemeenteraad
    Gemeente Sittard-Geleen Voorstel aan Gemeenteraad Registratienummer: 1553329 Onderwerp Uitwerking doelgroepenvervoer Limburg - wijziging gemeenschappelijke regeling Omnibuzz Voorstel 1. Het college toestemming te verlenen om de gemeenschappelijke regeling Omnibuzz per 1 april 2016 gewijzigd vast te stellen; 2. Het college toestemming te verlenen voor de (voorgenomen) toetreding van de gemeenten Beesel, Bergen, Gennep, Horst aan de Maas, Leudal, Maasgouw, Nederweert, Peel en Maas, Roerdalen, Roermond, Venlo, Venray, Weert en Brunssum, Heerlen, Kerkrade, Landgraaf, Maastricht, Nuth, Onderbanken, Simpelveld en Voerendaal tot de gemeenschappelijke regeling Omnibuzz per 1 april 2016. Samenvatting / openbare besluitenlijst Waarom Gemeenten organiseren gezamenlijk de aanpak van het doelgroepenvervoer in Limburg waarbij het onderdeel Regiotaxi met ingang van 10 december 2016 nieuwe vervoerder(s) dient te hebben. Nu wordt Regiotaxi door Veolia uitgevoerd en dat contract eindigt op 10 december 2016. De gemeenten hebben meer taken in het vervoer gekregen door de decentralisaties terwijl de budgetten beperkt zijn. Gemeenten hebben de ambitie om het doelgroepenvervoer toekomstbestendig te organiseren met een nadrukkelijke aansluiting op het openbaar vervoer. De basis hiervan staat in twee door alle gemeenten vastgestelde regionale visies van Zuid-, Noord- en Midden-Limburg. Wat De stuurgroep doelgroepenvervoer adviseert om op Limburgse schaal een publiekrechtelijke mobiliteitscentrale in te richten voor het doelgroepenvervoer. De stuurgroep adviseert om met de Regiotaxi te starten waarbij andere vervoersvormen op een later tijdstip ingroeien. Dit voorstel is in opdracht van 32 Limburgse gemeenten uitgewerkt door de stuur- en projectgroep doelgroepenvervoer, aangevuld met de inbreng van de provinciale klankbordgroep doelgroepenvervoer (reizigers, cliënten), de provincie Limburg en consultaties van reizigers, vervoerders en gespecialiseerde adviseurs. Het eindadvies vormt de basis voor de inrichting en vormgeving van het doelgroepenvervoer in Limburg vanaf 2016.

Aanvraag Op 17 april 2019 heeft Waterschap Limburg een vergunning ex artikel 2.7, tweede lid, van de Wet natuurbescherming (Wnb) aangevraagd voor het versterken van dijkring Beesel te Beesel (dijkversterking Beesel). Het Waterschap heeft in 2016 een dijkverbeteringsprogramma opgestart om diverse dijktrajecten in de Noordelijke Maasvallei te verhogen en te versterken. Deze dijkverbeteringen zijn opgenomen in het landelijke Hoogwaterbeschermingsprogramma (HWBP). De dijkversterking Beesel maakt onderdeel uit van het HWBP. Het project heeft een (potentieel) negatief effect op een aantal Nederlandse, Belgische en Duitse Natura 2000-gebieden (zoals opgenomen in de Aerius berekeningen). De aanvraag is geregistreerd onder nummer 2019-203388. Op 6 september 2019, 14 november 2019, 20 januari 2020 en 4 februari 2020 zijn aanvullende gegevens ontvangen. DOC-000518992 2.
