The Băile Figa geosite (Bistriţa-Năsăud County).Geomorpho-cultural assessment and tourism valorization
Get PDFBaile Figa is an important tourist location in Bistrita-Nasaud County, known for its salty waters. In 2005, archaeological works in this area have brought to light numerous ancient remains from the Bronze and Iron Age relating to the exploitation and use of salt. In 2009 the City Hall of Beclean opened in Baile Figa an entertainment complex that attracts important tourist flows, given the proximity of the National Road 17 (E 58) and cities Dej, Beclean and Bistrita. In this context, this paper has proposed a geomorpho-cultural assessment of the Baile Figa geosite, to establish its attractive potential and to develop some strategies for planning, valorization and management thereof
Considerations on the hydro-geological characteristics of the surface aquifers from the Jijia-Prut confluence area
Get PDFConsideraţii asupra caracteristicilor hidro-geologice a acviferelor de suprafaţă din aria de confluenţă Jijia-Prut. La nivelul Podişului Moldovei, zonele de confluenţă suscită un interes deosebit prin dinamica morfologică a reliefului şi caracteristicile hidrologice şi hidrogeologice diferite faţă de zonele din amonte. Zona de confluenţă Jijia-Prut se integrează în acest peisaj geomorfologic prin caracterul mobil al condiţiilor lito-geomorfologice şi hidrogeologice, în funcţie de factorii care au generat procesele hidrogeomorfologice locale. Fluxurile de substanţă şi energie, din cele două bazine hidrografice, al Jijiei şi al Prutului, modulate într-o multitudine de secvenţe, cu intensităţi diferite la scara timpului, au generat o mobilitate a zonei de confluenţă, în funcţie de condiţiile hidrologice conjuncturale. Plecând de la aceste premise ne-am propus o evaluare a caracteristicilor hidrogeologice ale acviferului din zona Cârniceni, aflată la 5km nord-vest de localitatea Sculeni (pe râul Prut).În urma analizei calitatea apelor subterane din este considerată nesatisfăcătoare datorită unor caracteristici fizico-chimice nefavorabile şi a condiţiilor şi proceselor hidrogeochimice naturale, care se desfăşoară în substrat, şi care favorizează trecerea în soluţie a diferiţilor anioni şi cationi; poluării apelor de suprafaţă şi schimbului hidrodinamic dintre acestea şi apele subterane, reintroducerea în activitatea agricolă a îngrăşămintelor pe bază de azot şi de fosfor, precum şi a pesticidelor; exploatarea necorespunzătoare a unor sisteme de irigaţii care au contribuit la mineralizarea materiei organice din sol şi la migrarea substanţelor rezultate din aceste procese spre adâncime
Denudational Processes and Geomorphic Characteristics of the Kaliani River Basin (Assam, India)
Get PDFDenudation relates to the removal of loosened material from a rock surface . Denudation is initiated by climatic factors and leads to specific geomorphic features in particular climatic regions. Thus the landform features formed in arid regions will differ from those in an humid region on a macro scale. However, some features may be common or almost similar to both regions on a micro scale e.g., mesa like features are common in some fluvially eroded landscapes as well as long as there are alternate bands of softer and harder rocks. Both endogenetic as well as exogenetic processes have played a crucial role in the character of landforms in the study area. The Kaliani River Basin (Diphu subdivision), Karbi Anglong district in Assam has been selected for identifying and studying the regions which are affected by denudation and the simultaneous geomorphic features formed. The basin is the result of past tectonic activity which has resulted in folding and faulting . Volcanic activity in the region has been known to occur in post Cretaceous times. The denudation processes in operation have imparted a unique geomorphic characteristic to the region giving it uneven and inaccessible terrain in some parts. The study area forms a part of the Karbi Anglong plateau comprising of a Precambrian platform . This feature has been significantly dissected and graded. An attempt has been made to study the geomorphic characteristics as a result of the denudational processes operating within the study area.
L’insécurité urbaine et les grands événements sportifs: la coupe du monde de football, Brésil 2014
Get PDFIn the group of emerging countries, Brazil is a figure apart: having no inclination to "big brother" to smaller neighbors and not part of the communist blockade traditionally opposed to the capitalist, Brazil would came out through successive presidential terms (2003-2010) Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who led the country on a new path. This international outlook is confirmed by the fact that Brazil has been entrusted the organization of two major sporting events: the World Cup in 2014 and the Summer Olympic Games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. The challenge is how to manage urban insecurity generated by the favelas and internal disparities
Plant distribution by water gradient in Carpathian and Subcarpathian sectors of Râmnicu Sărat hydrographic basin
Get PDFFactorii ecologici (climatici, edafici) au un rol primar în geneza diferitelor ecosisteme. La nivel global, aceste ecosisteme sunt fenerate în principal de factorii climatici iar, reducând scara, factorii edafici devin mai importanţi în personalizarea ecosistemelor. Pentru bazinul Râmnicului Sărat factorii edafici, mai ales cantitatea de apă edafică, în corelaţie cu umiditatea atmosferică, sunt responsabili de diversitatea floristică. Gradientul hidric a fost extras pentru fiecare specie, după A.Popescu şi V.Sanda (1998) care a constituit baza analizei statistice
Chemins de fer et autoroutes, ou la recherche de l’infini : essai sur la geometrie de la vie quotidienne
Get PDFThe railroad represents the first great attempt to free people from the tyranny of the places that used to tie them to their land and to confine them to the small reality of their place of birth. The railroad gave rise to one of the first greatest geographic networks, developing a multiplicity of possible connections and thus creating an infinite number of relations. Highways take such development a step further. Networks give rise to a geometry which favours points and lines while disregarding surfaces: our way of inhabiting is therefore conditioned by the mobility of people, of things and capital. It might now be time to rethink the meaning of our roots based on the interactions that the modern industrial society bequeathed to us
