The results presented in this study highlight the spatial differences in the environmental conditions during the Late Pleistocene across the European loess belt. Contrary to other European loess provinces characterized by high diversity of the Late Pleistocene environments (ranging from tundra-like to deciduous forest habitats), our investigations indicate a continued dominance of grassland-dominated ecosystems in the southeastern Carpathian Basin.

Such a theory should be accepted as a reconsideration of the older views on lake’s origin, which postulated that this was a glacial lake in a staircase cirque, formed after a several stadium retreat of Wurmian glaciers on Prokletije.

In India, the power submission department continuously wishes to update their consumer data and the related electric asset features. The consumer’s data source has to be recorded and show the pertinent linkages with the distribution transformer (DTR), feeder and substation. The present paper mainly focus on the application of geographic information system (GIS) integrated with high resolution remote sensing data and field survey data for mapping of various electrical asset elements of Roberstganj town of Uttar Pradesh, India. The electrical assets like high tension line (HT), low tension lines (LT), distribution transformers (DTRs), various types of electrical poles, feeders, substations etc. of Robertsganj town are extensively surveyed using the high resolution remote sensing data and then updated on GIS platforms using ARC GIS-10.3 software. The exact location of each electrical asset elements of the study area is captured using GPS and same has been plotted on the remote sensing data. In the study area electrification rate is low which approximately 50-60% is and quality power supply is still a faraway. It is identified that the total HT and LT pole in 2011 is 959 and 1421 respectively while it is 1733 and 1899 in 2015.

By decoding their present morphology and understanding their altitudinal distribution, a variety of aspects of the past climatic conditions can be inferred because inactive and relict rock glaciers are located in warmer climates in comparison to their necessary morphogenetic conditions (Frauenfelder and Kaab 2000). Most of the rock glaciers from SC are of small dimensions (0.05km2), they have a faded morphology and are covered in different proportions with soil and vegetation indicating their inactive or relict state, characteristic to the marginal permafrost conditions of Southern Carpathians. That is because most of the rock glaciers are located in positive mean multiannual air temperatures. Several field studies performed in the last decade indicate that permafrost is present in rock glaciers above 1950 m a.s.l. in the highest massifs of SC, with a relatively more widespread distribution in the granitic massifs (Vespremeanu-Stroe et al., 2012; Onaca et al., 2013; Popescu et al., 2015; Onaca et al., 2015)","PeriodicalId":30470,"journal":{"name":"GEOREVIEW Scientific Annals of Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava Geography Series","volume":"39 1","pages":"72-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70436609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scope of research interest soon expanded, first into other “hard” natural sciences, then into biological and ecological sciences, and finally into social sciences. To coordinate international research, ICSU with partners set up four interdisciplinary programs, with the focus first on climate (WCRP), then on the geosphere-biosphere (IGBP), ecology and biodiversity (Diversitas), and finally the the human dimension (IHDP).
