Research paper thumbnail of Glacial geomorphology and dynamics in Soviet Karelia interpreted by means of satellite imagery

The data of the multispectral scanner were processed using the photographic image enhancement and color combination tech­nique for visual interpretation. Glaciofluvial landforms, streamlined forma­tions, end moraines and hummocky moraine tracts were mapped, along with the type and amount of glacial erosion. As a result of the work, the glaciomorphological data were greatly increased compared with maps avail­able earlier. The direction and strength of the glacial flow and the stages of deglaciation were interpreted on the basis of the maps compiled. Con­clusions were drawn as to the thermal regime of the ice sheet and the rela­tions between the glacial dynamics and morphology. During the Allerod Substage, the main direction of the glacial flow was from the northwest, running radially from the Scandinavian mountain range. Later, the direction shifted about 30' more to the west, with the dome be...

Disasters related to climate change destroy settlements, agricultural land, and infrastructure. Central Asian countries should therefore develop resilience and adapt to climate change. This report shows the results of the research combining field observations with sophisticated satellite-based data and created models to demonstrate the impacts of climate change on the hydrology of the Aral Sea Basin.

The primary audience is agriculture and rural project managers, specifically field personnel, communities, client governments, other stakeholders, and World Bank Task Teams. Chapter 2 sets out the conceptual framework by examining the sectoral context of environmental and social sustainability and the resulting implications for project preparation, appraisal and implementation. Chapter 3 takes a closer look at the Bank's M&E requirements based on the results-based framework. Chapter 4 introduces appendix 1, which contains 11 matrices of sample indicators, organized by ARD subsector, of potential environmental and social changes that may be observed at outcome and impact levels as a result of a program/project's being implemented.

Research paper thumbnail of Evidence of European ice sheet fluctuation during the last glacial cycle

Developments in Quaternary Sciences, 2004

ABSTRACT Satellite images provide unique means of identifying large scale flow-generated lineatio... more ABSTRACT Satellite images provide unique means of identifying large scale flow-generated lineations produced by former ice sheets. They can be interpreted to reconstruct the major elements which make up the integrated, large scale structure of ice sheets: ice divides; ice streams; interstream ridges; ice shelves; calving bays. The evolving form of the European ice sheet during its decay after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is reconstructed by reference to these components and in the context of a new map showing isochrons of retreat. During the retreat phase in particular the time dependent dynamic evolution of the ice sheet and the pattern of ice stream development are reconstructed.Crossing lineations are widespread. The older ones are suggested to have formed during molten bed phases of ice sheet growth and preserved by frozen bed conditions during the glacial maximum, particularly in areas which lay, during deglaciation, beneath ice divides and inter-ice stream ridges. both areas of slow flow and frozen bed conditions.Four phases of growth (A1 to A4) and five phases of decay (R1 to R5) are used to describe the major climatically and dynamically determined stages in the evolution of the ice sheet through the last glacial cycle. The growth and decay patterns are quite different, and associated with major shifts in the ice divide, reflecting growth from the Fennoscandian mountains and decay away from marine influenced margins.
