  • The Call of the Siren: Bod, Baútisos, Baîtai, and Related Names (Studies in Historical Geography II)
    The Call of the Siren: Bod, Baútisos, Baîtai, and Related Names (Studies in Historical Geography II) Bettina Zeisler (Universität Tübingen) 1. Introduction eographical or ethnical names, like ethnical identities, are like slippery fishes: one can hardly catch them, even less, pin them G down for ever. The ‘Germans’, for example, are called so only by English speakers. The name may have belonged to a tribe in Bel- gium, but was then applied by the Romans to various tribes of North- ern Europe.1 As a tribal or linguistic label, ‘German (ic)’ also applies to the English or to the Dutch, the latter bearing in English the same des- ignation that the Germans claim for themselves: ‘deutsch’. This by the way, may have meant nothing but ‘being part of the people’.2 The French call them ‘Allemands’, just because one of the many Germanic – and in that case, German – tribes, the Allemannen, settled in their neighbourhood. The French, on the other hand, are called so, because a Germanic and, in that case again, German tribe, the ‘Franken’ (origi- nally meaning the ‘avid’, ‘audacious’, later the ‘free’ people) moved into France, and became the ruling elite.3 The situation is similar or even worse in other parts of the world. Personal names may become ethnic names, as in the case of the Tuyu- hun. 4 Names of neighbouring tribes might be projected onto their overlords, as in the case of the Ḥaža, who were conquered by the Tuyuhun, the latter then being called Ḥaža by the Tibetans. Ethnic names may become geographical names, but then, place names may travel along with ethnic groups.

  • A Mighty River Runs Dry
    A Mighty River Runs Dry Hydro dam reservoirs will soon trap the Yangtze’s entire flow By Fan Xiao Chief Engineer Sichuan Geology and Mineral Bureau China August 2011 PROBE INTERNATIONAL, ENGLISH EDITOR: PATRICIA ADAMS Introduction The annual filling of the Three Gorges dam reservoir reduces water levels downstream in the Yangtze basin, causing a plethora of problems for the millions of people who live and work along the banks of the Yangtze River. But the Three Gorges dam is not the only perpetrator. So prodigious have dam builders been, the upper reaches of the Yangtze are now intercepted by numerous hydropower projects which also impound the river’s vital water flow The fate of the before it reaches Three Gorges. With even more projects Yangtze is underway, the fate of the Yangtze is sealed. When all of the sealed. When all planned hydropower projects are completed, the combined reservoir volume will exceed the river's flow and the Yangtze of the planned River will run dry. hydropower projects are completed, the 1 The cost of low water levels downstream of the Three combined Gorges dam reservoir volume will exceed the The Three Gorges dam was built to have a normal pool level1 river's flow and of 175 metres above sea level. In 2003, upon completion of the Yangtze the barrage, authorities filled the reservoir to the 135 metre River will run mark. In 2006, they began raising the reservoir again, reaching 156 meters by October 28. For downstream areas, dry. that is when the trouble – extremely low water levels, severe drought and other negative environmental effects – began.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

In the past five decades, coastal groundwater salinization in the 13 Yang-Dai River plain has become increasingly serious under the influence of anthropogenic activities and 14 climatic change. It is pivotal for the scientific management of coastal water resources to accurately 15 understand groundwater salinization processes and their causative factors. Hydrochemical (major ion and 16 trace element) and stable isotopic (δ18O and δ2H) analysis of different water bodies (surface water, 17 groundwater, geothermal water, and seawater) were conducted to improve understanding of groundwater 18 salinization processes in the plain’s Quaternary aquifer. Saltwater intrusion due to intensive groundwater 19 pumping is a major process, either by vertical infiltration along riverbeds which convey saline surface 20 water inland, and/or direct subsurface lateral inflow. Trends in salinity with depth indicate that the former 21 may be more important than previously assumed. The proportion of seawater in groundwater is estimated 22 to have reached up to 13% in shallow groundwater of a local well field.

The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries.

CC BY 4.0 License. 1 Abstract 2 Since the Quaternary Period, palaeo-seawater intrusions have been suggested to 3 explain the observed saline groundwater that extends far inland in coastal zones. The 4 Luanhe River Delta (northwest coast of Bohai Sea, China) is characterized by the 5 distribution of saline, brine, brackish and fresh groundwater, from coastline to inland, 6 with a wide range of total dissolved solids (TDS) between 0.38–125.9 g L-1. 7 Meanwhile, previous studies have revealed that this area was significantly affected by 8 Holocene marine transgression. In this study, we used hydrochemical, isotopic, and 9 sedimentological methods to investigate groundwater salinization processes in the 10 Luanhe River Delta and its links to the palaeo-environmental settings.

Vol. 26, No. 6 (2017), 2555-2565 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/70629 ONLINE PUBLICATION DATE: 2017-08-31 Original Research Effects of Human Activities in the Wei River Basin on the Lower Yellow River, China Li He Key Laboratory of Water Cycle and Related Land Surface Processes, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100101 Beijing Received: 15 March 2017 Accepted: 22 April 2017 Abstract Water and soil conservation practices in the Wei River Basin (WRB) may in��uence the Lower Wei River (LWR) itself and the Lower Yellow River (LYR), of which the Wei is a tributary. Based on data of measured and natural runoff and suspended sediment load (SSL) in the WRB, the connections between runoff and SSL from the WRB and deposition in the LWR, the elevation of Tonggguan Hydrology Station, and deposition in the LYR are analyzed. For the compound effects of human activity and climate change in the WRB, the amount of deposition reduction in the LWR during 2000-2009 is about three times what it decreased dur- ing 1970-1979. For per square kilometers of soil conservation, the effect of human activities in the WRB on deposition in the LWR during period of 2000-09 is about four times that of the period of 1970-1979. As decreased runoff and SSL from the WRB, deposition in the LYR decreased during the periods of 1970-1979 and 1990-1999, while deposition in the LYR increased during the periods of 1980-1989 and 2000-2009. For the planned reservoir in the Jing River Basin, the decreased deposition in the LYR may be smaller than that of the LWR.
