For this, I would like to thank everyone involved starting with Irina Bredneva and Elena Bazhenova of the UNDP-CO for making all the travel arrangements so smooth and easy, and making me welcome in Moscow. In the Komi Republic, the project team ensured that I met the right stakeholders, showed me the results of the project efforts in remote and beautiful areas of the republic, and accompanying me. Special thanks are due to Alexander Popov (the National Project Director) and Vasily Ponomarev (the Project Manager) for the connections, arrangements, for accompanying me and for many fruitful discussions. Other team members who accompanied the mission included Svetlana Zagirova, Andrei Melnichuk and Anastasiya Tentyukova. I am also grateful to all the other stakeholders who gave freely of their time and answered my questions patiently (please see Annex III for a list of all the people met over the course of the mission to the Komi Republic).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The Swazi kingdom grew out of the pressures associated with competition for trade and for the rich resources of Shiselweni. While centred on this area it acquired some of its characteristic features - notably a regimental system, and the dominance of a Dlamini aristocracy. Around 1815 the Swazi came under pressure from the South, and were forced to colonise the land lying north of the Lusutfu. Here they remained for some years a nation under arms, as they plundered local peoples, and were themselves swept about by the currents of the Mfecane. In time a more settled administration emerged, as the aristocracy spread out from the royal centres at Ezulwini, and this process accelerated under Mswati as he subdued recalcitrant chiefdoms, and restructured the regiments.

A two-box model was used to identify and assess physical, biological, and chemical processes responsible for the seasonal variability of DIC, DOC, TA, and pCO2. Surface waters were undersaturated with respect to atmospheric CO2 throughout the year and constituted a net sink of 22 21 1.2 mol C m yr , with ice coverage and ice formation limiting the CO2 uptake during winter.

  • Trace Elements and Stable Isotope Diagrams of Late Pleistocene Ice Wedges of Batagaika Yedoma, Central Yakutia
    Trace elements and stable isotope diagrams of Late Pleistocene ice wedges of Batagaika yedoma, Central Yakutia Yu.K.Vasil'chuk1 J.Yu.Vasil'chuk1 N. A. Budantseva1 A.C. Vasil'chuk1 1Department of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The subject of the study is the yedoma ice complex, which locates in the Batagaika depression, Sakha Republic, Russia. The oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope composition, and the content of the dissolved forms of minor and major elements were studied for the first time in ice-wedges of Batagaika depression, which makes the novelty of the study. The isotope composition of the two most saline ice-wedges located in the upper and lower parts of the Batagay depression indicates that they were formed in a close temperature range, the average winter temperature was close to –34/–35 °C, and the average January air temperature was –51/ –53 °C. The ice-wedge with the lowest content of all the trace elements was formed in more severe conditions, the average winter air temperature was close to -36 °C, and the average January air temperature was –54/–55 °C. Keywords: permafrost; ice wedge; oxygen isotope; hydrogen isotope; trace elements; East Siberia, Late Pleistocene The subject of the study is the yedoma, which is found lacustrine or taberal deposits, which are form horizontal in the Batagaika depression (67°34'49" N, 134°46'19" E), wedge 150-200 meters long and intruding into the located 10 km southeast of Batagai settlement (about 17 yedoma deposits and overlaying it.

  • Transits of the Northwest Passage to End of the 2020 Navigation Season Atlantic Ocean ↔ Arctic Ocean ↔ Pacific Ocean
    TRANSITS OF THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE TO END OF THE 2020 NAVIGATION SEASON ATLANTIC OCEAN ↔ ARCTIC OCEAN ↔ PACIFIC OCEAN R. K. Headland and colleagues 7 April 2021 Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB2 1ER. <[email protected]> The earliest traverse of the Northwest Passage was completed in 1853 starting in the Pacific Ocean to reach the Atlantic Oceam, but used sledges over the sea ice of the central part of Parry Channel. Subsequently the following 319 complete maritime transits of the Northwest Passage have been made to the end of the 2020 navigation season, before winter began and the passage froze. These transits proceed to or from the Atlantic Ocean (Labrador Sea) in or out of the eastern approaches to the Canadian Arctic archipelago (Lancaster Sound or Foxe Basin) then the western approaches (McClure Strait or Amundsen Gulf), across the Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean, through the Bering Strait, from or to the Bering Sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Arctic Circle is crossed near the beginning and the end of all transits except those to or from the central or northern coast of west Greenland. The routes and directions are indicated. Details of submarine transits are not included because only two have been reported (1960 USS Sea Dragon, Capt. George Peabody Steele, westbound on route 1 and 1962 USS Skate, Capt. Joseph Lawrence Skoog, eastbound on route 1). Seven routes have been used for transits of the Northwest Passage with some minor variations (for example through Pond Inlet and Navy Board Inlet) and two composite courses in summers when ice was minimal (marked ‘cp’).
