The Willandra Lakes complex is one of the few locations in semi-arid Australia to preserve both paleoenvironmental and Paleolithic archeological archives at high resolution. The stratigraphy of transverse lunette dunes on the lakes' downwind margins record a late Quaternary sequence of wetting and drying. Within the Willandra system, the Lake Mungo lunette is best known for its preservation of ...

recourse to a purported ideal of societal homogeneity has become common in the context of the refugee reception crisis – not only in japan, as leppold et al report, but also throughout europe. calls for societal homogeneity in europe originate from populist movements as well as from some governments. often, they go along with reduced social support for refugees and asylum seekers, for example i...

background: urmia lake, the second largest hyper-saline lake of the world, has experienced lack of water and other environmental issues in recent years. now, there is a danger of the lake drying out, which will affect the region and its inhabitants. this study aimed to present a model which can relate the water level of the lake to effective factors. methods: parameters that influence water lev...

Abstract Recent drilling successes on Rutford Ice Stream in West Antarctica demonstrate the viability of hot water subglacial access holes to depths >2000 m. Having techniques deep environments reliably paves way for lake exploration beneath thick central Antarctic Sheet. An ideal candidate lake, overlain by ~2650 m ice, identified Centro de Estudios Científicos (CECs), Chile, has led collab...

Flow regime change is the leading driving force in the evolution of lacustrine ecological systems. According to the planned water level regulation scheme of the Poyang Lake hydraulic project (PLHP), this research discusses the possible impacts of PLHP on hydrology and hydrodynamics of Poyang Lake (China) using the method of scenario simulation. The results show that a controlled water level of ...

this study attempted to investigate the process and barriers of flow of technical information in kwpa [1] . a survey method was used to collect the data. interviews with some key persons were also conducted. the target population included both experts and technical managers, and the information output of technical departments. descriptive statistics and spearman's rank correlation coefficient w...

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the water balance in a semi-arid environment with limited in situ data using a remote sensing approach. We focus on the Lake Manyara catchment, located within the East African Rift of northern Tanzania. We use a distributed conceptual hydrological model driven by remote sensing data to study the spatial and temporal variability of water balance parameter...

â  lake urmia, the third hyper-saline lake in the world and because of its climatic, economic, social and ecological/environmental importance is a populated region in iran. recently, severe drought periods and low water levels are causing problems in this lake. therefore, it is urgent and desirable to evaluate urmia water level fluctuations in a scientific ways. urmia lake water level the same ...
