Western Wright Valley, from Wright Upper Glacier to the western end of the Dais, can be divided into three broad geomorphic regions: the elevated Labyrinth, the narrow Dais which is connected to the Labyrinth, and the North and South forks which are bifurcated by the Dais. Soil associations of Typic Haplorthels/Haploturbels with ice-cemented permafrost at < 70 cm are most common in each of these geomorphic regions. Amongst the Haplo Great Groups are patches of Salic and Typic Anhyorthels with ice-cemented permafrost at > 70 cm. They are developed in situ in strongly weathered drift with very low surface boulder frequency and occur on the upper erosion surface of the Labyrinth and on the Dais. Typic Anhyorthels also occur at lower elevation on sinuous and patchy Wright Upper III drift within the forks. Salic Aquorthels exist only in the South Fork marginal to Don Juan Pond, whereas Salic Haplorthels occur in low areas of both South and North forks where any water table is > 50 cm. Most soils within the study area have an alkaline pH dominated by Na+ and Cl- ions. The low salt accumulation within Haplorthels/Haploturbels may be due to limited depth of soil development and possibly leaching.

El examen a la singular aportación de João Archer, Nunes de Almeida y Rogério Ramos a la construcción del paisaje energético a través de la arquitectura se revela hoy de gran oportunidad para el avance de nuestra disciplina. Este colectivo de arquitectos que estudian en la Escuela de Oporto en el periodo en que el maestro Carlos Ramos realiza la reforma de la enseñanza de la Arquitectura en Portugal, proyecta y construye desde el interior del oficio de proyectos de la Hidroeléctica do Douro, las tres infraestructuras hidroeléctricas y las respectivas estructuras urbanas de Picote, Miranda y Bemposta, ubicadas en el Duero Internacional. El proceso cuyos parámetros de proyecto se exponen, está comprendido entre 1953 y 1964, y representa uno de los momentos más significativos y hercúleos en términos de infraestructura, industrialización y modernización de un Portugal entonces extremamente retrasado por la política de aislamiento de la dictadura de Salazar. Esto parece ser también el primer proyecto arquitectónico de infraestructuras a la escala del territorio en el cual se reconocen trazos específicos de la Escuela de Oporto y en donde se efectúa la revisión y transición de una modernidad enmarcada por el rigor de Loos y por un racionalismo de linaje gropiano, para un regionalismo crítico apropiado a la cultura del lugar, muy vinculado a Lúcio Costa, Wright y Aalto. Así, más que los logros espaciales, técnicos o constructivos conseguidos en los edificios, se expone el proceso utilizado por sus autores, su forma de entender y hacer un paisaje industrial de dimensión social y humanista a través de una arquitectura poética y minimalista sustentada en la cultura y en el carácter del lugar, valorando los argumentos, herramientas, principios y mecanismos que pueden constituirse referencia para nuestro oficio y aportar conocimiento que oriente la arquitectura hacia la construcción del paisaje contemporáneo. ABSTRACT Examining the singular contribution of João Archer, Nunes de Almeida and Rogério Ramos to the construction of the energy landscape through architecture, presents today a great opportunity for the advancement of our discipline. This collective of architects studying at the Porto School during the period in which master Carlos Ramos reformed the education of architecture in Portugal, designed and built from the Hidroeléctrica do Douro project office itself, the three hydropower infrastructures and the respective urban structures of Picote), Miranda and Bemposta, located in the International Douro. The project parameters are set between 1953 and 1964, representing one of the most significant moments of infrastructure, industrialization and modernization in a country at the time extremely delayed by the isolation resulting from the Salazar dictatorship. This is also the first architectural project of infrastructures within the scale of territory in which specific traits of the Porto School are recognized and wherein it came into effect the revision and transition from a modernity marked by the Loos rigor and Gropius rationalism lineage to a critical regionalism appropriate to the culture of the place, connected to Lúcio Costa, Wright and Aalto. Thus, rather than space, technical or constructive achievements of the buildings, it is exposed the process used by the authors, their way of understanding and projecting an industrial landscape with a social and humanistic dimension through a poetic and minimal architecture sustained in culture and character of the place, valuing arguments, tools, principles and mechanisms that can become a reference for our profession and provide knowledge to guide architecture towards the construction of the contemporary landscape.
