Auditoría de información en la prevención de incendios forestales (Spanish Edition)
Rated 0 out of 5
0 ReviewsPaperback – May 18, 2015
Spanish Edition by María Adelina Codina Canet(Author), Victor Manuel Codina Canet(Author)
El documento aporta un análisis de los circuitos de información en la prevención de incendios forestales y el control de las quemas agrícolas. Proporciona una panorámica del funcionamiento de los actuales canales de información en el ámbito de la Organización, analizándose los factores estructurales y las tecnologías de la comunicación. La investigación está basada en la metodología de la auditoria de información, cuyo objetivo central es analizar el flujo de información, identificar la problemática y reflexionar sobre las estrategias para mejorar la comunicación. La comarca de El Comtat es un terreno con un bosque autóctono de sierras y un Parque Natural catalogado de especial protección coexistiendo con una arraigada agricultura de montaña y cultura del fuego. El análisis concluye que se precisa una reflexión sobre los aspectos y elementos que intervienen en la gestión de la información. Las conclusiones de la investigación tienen como objetivo influir en la toma de decisiones y ser una herramienta para la reflexión sobre la situación actual del control de la información. Nuestro ánimo ha sido aportar soluciones para mejorar y corregir situaciones irregulares detectadas.

Relict Species: Phylogeography and Conservation Biology

by Jan Christian Habel(Editor), Thorsten Assmann(Editor)
Mankind has evolved both genetically and culturally to become a most successful and dominant species. But we are now so numerous and our technology is so p- erful that we are having major effects on the planet, its environment, and the b- sphere. For some years prophets have warned of the possible detrimental consequences of our activities, such as pollution, deforestation, and overfishing, and recently it has become clear that we are even changing the atmosphere (e. g. ozone, carbon dioxide). This is worrying since the planet’s life systems are involved and dependent on its functioning. Current climate change – global w arming – is one recognised consequence of this larger problem. To face this major challenge, we will need the research and advice of many disciplines – Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Biology, and Sociology – and particularly the commitment of wise politicians such as US Senator Al Gore. An important aspect of this global problem that has been researched for several decades is the loss of species and the impoverishment of our ecosystems, and hence their ability to sustain themselves, and more particularly us! Through evolutionary time new species have been generated and some have gone extinct. Such extinction and regeneration are moulded by changes in the earth’s crust, atmosphere, and resultant climate. Some extinctions have been massive, particularly those asso- ated with catastrophic meteoric impacts like the end of the Cretaceous Period 65Mya.

The Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya’aqov Volume II: Ancient Flames and Controlled Use of Fire (Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology)

by Nira Alperson-Afil(Author), Naama Goren-Inbar(Author)
A View from Western Europe Most archaeologists would agree that the emergence of stone tool manufacture and the m- agement of fre are the two most signifcant events in the cultural evolution of early humans. The oldest known stone artifacts are securely dated to 2. 6–2. 5 Ma at several localities in Ethiopia; their association with ungulate remains and observations of cut marks prove that one of their main functions was for butchery (Domínguez-Rodrigo et al. 2005). The record of early stone tools from a number of sites in the time span 2. 5–2. 0 Ma is unequivocal; tool use and manufacture were a regular activity with evidence of planning, foresight and considerable technical skills (Delagnes and Roche 2005). In contrast, the timing of the human control of fre is not fully resolved and the antiquity of its habitual use has been debated until now. This book provides very strong evidence of the habitual use of fre by early humans at the Acheulian site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov (Israel). The sedimentary sequence at the site is 34 m thick, and it represents different depositional environments, mainly beaches along the margins of a paleo-lake. The Matuyama-Brunhes chron boundary, dated to 0. 78 Ma, occurs in the lower part of the sequence.

La France du paléolithique (French Edition)

French Edition by Pascal Depaepe (Author)
Couvrant plus de deux millions d'années, le Paléolithique est la plus longue période de notre histoire. En Europe occidentale, la présence de l'homme est attestée par des vestiges datés d'au moins un million d'années. Des premiers occupants venant d'Afrique par le Proche-Orient et l'est de l'Europe aux hommes modernes, les Cro-Magnon, en passant par l'homme de Néandertal, 40 000 générations de chasseurs-cueilleurs se sont succédé sur cette extrémité de l'Eurasie qu'est la France. Ces populations clairsemées ont vécu dans des environnements changeant au rythme des glaciations et des réchauffements climatiques. Ils ont chassé ou côtoyé des animaux aujourd'hui disparus comme le mammouth, le lion des cavernes, l'aurochs et le rhinocéros laineux, ou d'autres, tel le renne, ne vivant plus actuellement qu'à des latitudes septentrionales. Ils ont aménagé leur habitat, inventé un outillage performant, enterré leurs morts, créé les splendeurs des grottes Chauvet ou Cosquer, et ainsi posé les fondamentaux de notre humanité. Les recherches sur le Paléolithique éclairent l'histoire des relations entre l'homme et la nature, son devenir face aux modifications climatiques, l'origine des inégalités sociales, et apportent un démenti catégorique aux théories néocréationnistes. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse des connaissances sur le Paléolithique en France prenant en compte les découvertes les plus récentes, issues notamment des recherches archéologiques préventives, et les nouvelles théories sur la conquête de l'Europe par Homo erectus, la disparition des Néandertaliens, ou encore la naissance des expressions artistiques.

Fire Phenomena and the Earth System: An Interdisciplinary Guide to Fire Science
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviews1st Edition, Kindle Edition
by Claire M. Belcher (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
Fire plays a key role in Earth system processes. Wildfires influence the carbon cycle and the nutrient balance of our planet, and may even play a role in regulating the oxygen content of our atmosphere. The evolutionary history of plants has been intimately tied to fire and this in part explains the distribution of our ecosystems and their ability to withstand the effects of natural fires today.
Fire Phenomena and the Earth System brings together the various subdisciplines within fire science to provide a synthesis of our understanding of the role of wildfire in the Earth system. The book shows how knowledge of fire phenomena and the nature of combustion of natural fuels can be used to understand modern wildfires, interpret fire events in the geological record and to understand the role of fire in a variety of Earth system processes. By bringing together chapters written by leading international researchers from a range of geological, environmental, chemical and engineering disciplines, the book will stimulate the exchange of ideas and knowledge across these subject areas. Fire Phenomena and the Earth System provides a truly interdisciplinary guide that can inform us about Earth’s past, present and beyond. Readership: Advanced students and researchers across a wide range of earth, environmental and life sciences, including biogeochemistry, paleoclimatology, atmospheric science, palaeontology and paleoecology, combustion science, ecology and forestry.
