Cultural 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 Whether charterparties can be superseded by other types of documents will also be examined.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.

Decoding the law of incorporation of charterparty arbitration clauses into bills of lading and identifying its dimensions: delineating the <i>sui generis</i> status of arbitration clauses
No full textIt is trite law that arbitration clauses are sacrosanct in maritime trade as they promote certainty and predictability in the contingency of disputes. Standard forms of charterparties and bills of lading equally mirror the wish of the parties to trade over trusted and thus frequently incorporated terms, and inevitably, the phrasing “including the arbitration clause” is of focal attention. The institution of arbitration has been cherished as a preferred expression of party autonomy at international treaty level, through the New York Convention in an aspiration to establish a harmonious international legal framework of acceptance and recognition of foreign arbitration clauses and awards.This PhD thesis studies the interpretational complexities that arise when incorporating arbitration in maritime contracts, in cases of disputes where the courts themselves struggle with discerning the contractual intention that lurks behind the unclear wording. The originality of this PhD rests in its challenging scope, its penetrating research into English, European and Chinese case law, with the objective to assess how the incorporation of arbitration principles crystallises through the years. Identifying whether recent English case law applies the principles advocated on incorporation of arbitration clauses from charterparties into bills of lading or whether it takes a different stance in the attempt to read contracts in a way that aligns with business common sense has been the primary objective of this thesis. Following this, the author illustrates the complexities that arise and how they affect the arbitration-friendliness of the New York Convention and party autonomy as conveyed through express or incorporated arbitration clauses in bills of lading especially when the ambiguities set the debate of whether an arbitration or a(n) (exclusive) jurisdiction clause has been incorporated. Most importantly, the author will present the optimal construction methods in a spirit that respects leading English case law, as well as the protected status of arbitration clauses under the purview of the New York Convention.The author has distilled and proven why a series of English cases has paved the way in identifying not simply whether a clause has been incorporated but also by advocating principles on how different types of charterparties, in different forms, progress in their writing (oral, written, evidenced merely by a fixture recap) can be incorporated, with emphasis on their arbitration clauses. This thesis then engages in a critical analysis of recent cases to see how these apply in modern maritime disputes. The author offers original conclusions on optimal methods and priorities of construction under the light of the arbitration friendliness furthered by the New York Convention, the existing incorporation principles and the sui generis status of arbitration clauses. The aim is to conclude on how arbitration clauses and maritime law can keep walking hand-in-hand suggesting to judges, lawyers and policy makers how English law can through common law develop systematized and clear methods of construction of arbitration clauses
