Reference to index of records of cartoon of Alexander George Gurney (1902-1955)
Get PDFAlexander George Gurney (15 Mar 1902 -4 Dec 1955), was an
Australian cartoonist born in Morice Town, Devon, UK. After his
father died in 1903, his mother (who was Australian) returned
with him to Hobart, Tasmania, where she remarried. After leaving
Macquarie Street State School at age 13, he served a seven year
electrical apprenticeship with the Hydro-Electric Commission,
studying art part-time in night classes at Hobart Technical School
In 1939 he created the characters for which he became famous:
Bluey and Curley, which first appeared in the "Picture-News"
magazine then The Sun News-Pictorial in 1940 and syndicated
throughout Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The strip, about a
pair of soldiers. Was appreciated for the good-humoured way it
depicted the Australian "digger" "mateship" and for its realistic us
use of the Australian idiom. Alex visited army camps throughout
Australia and New Guinea to ensure authenticity. While in New
Guinea he contracted malaria and was incapacitated for some
time. The strip lost some of its appeal and readership when the
pair returned to 'civvy' street

Webster, Alexander George (1830 - 1914)
No full textAlexander George Webster (1830-1914), merchant, was born on 3 December 1830 in London. He spent two years at Cape of Good Hope with his mother and sister before they sailed to Sydney in the Roxburgh Castle; they arrived in Van Diemen's Land in 1840. Educated at the Melville Street school in Hobart Town and at a private boarding-school at Kempton, he was also a pupil of the artist Thomas Evans Chapman. Later, as an amateur he exhibited both water-colours and pencil drawings of the Tasmanian landscape

Alexander George Interview, March 12, 1986
Get PDFAlexander George discusses the historical context that led to the boom of Greek immigrants in the United States during the early twentieth century. He describes his family history, detailing how his father immigrated in the United States in 1909 and moved to Missoula for a job in railway expansion. George also discusses the impact World War Two had on Greek immigrants in Montana, the early Greek community in Missoula, and customs and values within the community. He describes the different Greek families in Missoula, including marriages between Greek immigrants and non-Greek immigrants, and how Greek names were translated into English.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/mtcommunities_oralhistory/1008/thumbnail.jp

Coupling nitrate sensor technology with autonomous gliders to investigate seasonal controls on the biogeochemical cycle of nitrate in a temperate shelf sea
No full textThe oceans take up ~30 % of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Shelf seas, though small (7 - 8 % of the total ocean area), play a significant role in the uptake and removal of this CO2 by contributing 15 – 30 % of total oceanic primary production. Shelf seas are highly dynamic systems with seasonal cycles in nutrients, light, stratification and primary production. Two key stages in the seasonal cycles are the spring bloom and the summer formation of a sub-surface chlorophyll maximum (SCM). There is a growing need to increase spatial and temporal resolution of in situ measurements of nutrients and phytoplankton growth alongside the physical factors which drive their seasonal cycles as these measurements are needed to ground-truth and provide new data for biogeochemical models used to predict both contemporary and future changes in climate. In this study, a novel wet-chemical microfluidic Lab-on-Chip nutrient sensor was deployed for the first time within an autonomous underwater glider where nitrate (NO3-) measurements were comparable to traditional ship-based methods (r2=>0.98; n = 60). The Lab-on-Chip nutrient sensor was able to capture the large drawdown of NO3- within the surface mixed layer due to the onset of the spring bloom in the central Celtic Sea, where surface NO3- concentrations decreased from 5.74 µM to 1.42 µM, whilst bottom layer NO3- concentrations remained constant (6.86 ±0.16 µM). Concurrent measurements of the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy at the pycnocline resulted in a mean nitrate flux (f∑NOx of~4.2 mmol m-2 d-1) that is double that of previously reported estimates (~2 mmol m-2 d-1) in the Celtic Sea. The mean f∑NOx across the pycnocline was dominated by short mixing events that could potentially supply larger (> 15 mmol m-2 d-1) intermittent fluxes of ∑NOx into the SCM. Using our spring and neap tide f∑NOx estimates to represent the upper and lower limits, the contribution of new production estimated in this study, supported by the f∑NOx into the SCM (58 (21-80) g C m-2), could support all of the estimated annual new production (81.8 g C m-2) in the Celtic Sea in the SCM alone during the summer period (120 days). If this under-estimation of the contribution of the summer SCM to the annual new production shown here in the Celtic Shelf Sea is indicative of all other continental shelf seas of the Northern Hemisphere, then their previously estimated ability to be net sinks of CO2 (0.24 Pg C yr−1; Laruelle et al., 2010) could be underestimated. Using bio-optical sensors (fluorescence and backscatter) deployed on a glider, bio-optical relationships were established between Chl-a and particulate backscatter that were used to derive values of particulate organic carbon (POC) and phytoplankton carbon. During the spring bloom this study showed a strong positive correlation between Chl-a, particulate backscatter and POC, which was decoupled during the summer SCM due to changing phytoplankton biomass and resuspended sedimentary material. This work has shown that using established empirical relationships the potential for bio-optical sensors on gliders to predict POC, and thus Cphyto, in a dynamic shelf seas environment. This thesis demonstrated that autonomous platforms and novel in situ biogeochemical sensors are an invaluable tool for the observation of the changing marine environment and are well placed to provide new insight into biogeochemical, physical and bio-optical fields as well as to augment, with complimentary high-resolution datasets, moorings, ships and satellites methodologies
