No full textCultural landscape preservation in United States national parks: analysis and recommendations for U.S. cultural landscapes eligible for nomination to UNESCO
No full textScholars and officials generally define cultural landscapes as “combined works of nature and man. ” The National Park Service (NPS), established in 1916, is the United States’ governing organization on the preservation and protection of cultural landscapes, and manages all U.S. National Parks. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is another major association that also provides protection to cultural landscapes on a global scale. While several U.S. National Parks are identified as “Natural Sites” on the World Heritage List, these sites are eligible for re-designation as “Cultural Landscapes”. The purpose of this thesis is to explore and compare the definitions and criteria for nomination of cultural landscapes according to UNESCO and the NPS. I will evaluate five U.S. National Parks, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Glacier Bay, Yosemite and Hawaii Volcanoes, in terms of the specific characteristics, preservation, visitation, and infrastructure of the potential cultural landscapes. General Management Plans pertaining to each park will be analyzed, and the current preservation strategies designed by the NPS and implemented by each park will be discussed. In addition I will consider the benefits of World Heritage Listing. This thesis will conclude with a set of recommendations focusing on steps these parks can take to further protect their cultural landscapes under UNESCO.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Eleni M.

‘Shaky’ times for arbitration clauses: rethinking business common sense
No full textEnglish courts have held that clear words of incorporation of the arbitration clause (contained in the charterparty) are indispensable in the bill of lading, to bind consignees who had never witnessed the charterparty. This approach is for the protection of consignees as third parties. In this article, attention will be paid to the identification of problems relating to the form that a charterparty should have to be appropriate for incorporation. Whether charterparties can be superseded by other types of documents will also be examined. Last but not least, the author will critically assess the rules of construction followed in recent cases where ambiguous language has been used in incorporation clauses in bills of lading. In the last few months, three judgments have been issued which have produced highly controversial outcomes. The author asserts that the method of construction should not be considered as a distinct method from that of incorporation of clauses. Times have changed and, apparently, so has business common sense. However, ‘uncertain certainty’ has been caused because business common sense has been applied differently to judgments that have been issued with a couple of months difference
The development and application of nutrient and carbonate system proxies in the deep sea coral Desmophyllum dianthus
No full textDeep sea corals are a promising paleoceanographic archive because they offer the potential for high temporal resolution and precise absolute dating. This thesis presents the first rigorous development and calibration of geochemical proxies for phosphate, barium, carbonate ion, and pH, recorded as phosphorus to calcium (P/Ca), barium to calcium (Ba/Ca), uranium to calcium (U/Ca) ratios and boron isotopes (δ11B), respectively, in the skeleton of the deep sea coral Desmophyllum dianthus (D. dianthus). The δ11B proxy was applied for the first time to a modern coral located within the deep mixed layer of the South Chatham Rise (New Zealand), showing a change in ocean pH as a result of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, in approximate agreement with atmospheric and surface ocean CO2 measurements from this region. The P/Ca, Ba/Ca, and U/Ca proxies were applied to corals dated to 15.4ka and Heinrich 1 (~16.5ka) to reconstruct the history of phosphate, barium, and carbonate ion concentrations at intermediate depths in the northwest Atlantic. The results demonstrate that dissolved phosphate increased and carbonate ion decreased during cold periods, previously characterized by reduced deep water convection and increased meltwater input. This suggests the presence of a nutrient rich and corrosive intermediate southern source water mass (SSW) at 40oN in west Atlantic, in agreement with previous radiocarbon reconstructions. Coral Ba measurements suggest a contemporaneous increase in the North Atlantic dissolved Ba inventory compared to Holocene. Calculations of the mixing ratio between northern and SSW following the 15.4ka event suggest that SSW was the dominant water mass in northwest Atlantic. The 15ka event occurred within ~100y, the life span of the coral. The initial success of these new geochemical tools is encouraging for the utility of D. dianthus as a geochemical paleoceanographic archive. With further development, these proxies could be used to reconstruct aspects of water mass mixing and biogeochemical processes in intermediate-to-deep waters of the Atlantic and Southern Oceans, locations where D. dianthus is most abundant.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Eleni E.
