3D geometry and displacement transfer of an oblique relay zone on outcropping normal faults
No full textRelay zones on normal faults accommodate transfer of displacement between adjacent segments. We study vertical and horizontal displacement transfer mechanisms across a relay zone adjacent to the Moab Fault at Courthouse Rock (Utah, USA). The relay zone has a reservoir scale (map overlap length ca. 750 m, separation ca. 150 m), and is bounded by two normal fault segments with maximum throw of ca. 12 m. The relay zone is exposed on multiple, sub-parallel cliff faces and intervening rock pavements. We use photogrammetry of these exposures to build a 3D virtual outcrop model of the relay-bounding faults, subordinate faults deforming the relay zone and seven faulted stratigraphic horizons. The relay-bounding faults are right-stepping in map view and contractional in cross-section, defining a relay zone oblique to bedding in 3D. Displacement is transferred both horizontally and vertically across the relay zone. Horizontal transfer of displacement is achieved by a shallow dipping (<1°) relay ramp, whereas vertical transfer is achieved by antithetic faults within the relay ramp. Our analysis demonstrates that multiple mechanisms can work in conjunction to facilitate transfer of displacement across individual relay zones
Water for Life Strategy in Alberta: Changing Priorities in Canadian Water Policy?
No full textWater resources are being stretched to the limit in Alberta and irrigation activities account for more than 70 percent of consumptive water use in the province. Conflicts among users and potential users may be looming. Pollution of surface water and groundwater and outbreaks of water-borne pathogens have been increasing. Freshwater systems are likely to deteriorate further with impending climate change. Following passage of the Alberta Water Act in 1999 and the Irrigation Districts Act in 2000, which allowed limited transfers of water among water users, the Alberta government issued its Water for Life Strategy in late 2003. The strategy’s principal goals include (1) evaluation of the use of economic instruments to manage water demand by 2007; (2) demonstration of best management practices by 2010; and (3) a 30 percent increase in productivity and efficiency over 2005 levels by 2015. This seems to presage a new era in water management in Alberta, but will the necessary changes in water management be forthcoming? This study examines the need for demand-based management and the constraints that make effective changes in water policy problematic. Evidence from a recent study in the St. Mary’s River Irrigation District highlights problems with water markets.Environmental Economics and Policy,

Exploring roles and relationships in the production of the built environment
No full textGiven the number of different agencies and the complexity of institutional and professional relationships in the production, management and regulation of the built environment, many students entering built environment professions leave university education to take up work placements or employment without a sufficient understanding of the different actors and the formal and informal interactions and social relationships between them. Furthermore, destructive stereotypes may form during the educational process as students construct their own professional identity, in part learnt from their teachers and peers, and naturalised by the academic and professional institutions that form the context of their education – a process of enculturation termed ‘professional socialization’ by social scientists (Cuff, 1991: 118). These stereotypes may lead ultimately to inter-professional tensions and hostilities. Innovations in practice often involve challenges to established roles or joined-up thinking which breaches institutional structures, for all of which graduates may be ill-prepared

"Buon viaggio a te e adoperati efficacemente pel trionfo dell'Esposizione di Venezia!" Bartolomeo Bezzi e l'arte tedesca alla Biennale del 1899
No full textThis paper is a revised version of the second chapter of my PhD dissertation, discussed in 2014 at the University of Udine. The documentary support is provided by largely unpublished correspondence between Bartolomeo Bezzi, the "commissario speciale per l'invito alle opere di Germania e Austria" for the 1899 edition of the Biennale, and the general secretary of the Biennale Antonio Fradeletto, that has been traced by the author in the Historical Archives of Contemporary Art in Venice. This overview on the epistolary sheds new light on Bezzi's personal contribution and on the choices that he made during his trip to Germany, despite the absence of further evidence in the 1899 exhibition. Furthermore, it accurately documents the participation of the Austro-German secessionist artists who exercised a decisive influence on the cultural policy of the first Biennali, until then mostly dominated by instances of obscurantism and regression
