Newton, Massachusetts, 1855 (Raster Image)

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Map of the town of Newton, Middlesex County, Mass., surveyed by order of the town by H.F. Walling, Sup. of the state map; assistant engineers F.S. Belden, N. Smith, Jr. It was published by Lith of Sarony & Co. in 1855. Scale [1:12,900]. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone (in Feet) (Fipszone 2001). All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as roads, railroads and stations, drainage, public buildings, schools, industry locations (e.g. mills, factories, etc.), selected private buildings with names of property owners, town boundaries, cemeteries, and more. Relief shown by hachures. Includes insets: West Newton -- Newton Corner.This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

Dendrogeochemical Study of a Copper Deposit in Black Springs, Australia

The Bushranger Copper project is a known porphyry-style copper deposit located roughly 150 km west of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. Monterey pines (Pinus radiata) growing over the mineralization were cored and their rings were counted. Segments of the core representing growth between 2003 and 2008 were selected, digested in nitric acid, and analyzed via ICP-MS. This time span was selected because there was the least variation in tree ring width among all samples during these years, indicating uniform growth. The relative concentrations of the pathfinder elements Al, Cu, Mo, Pb and Zn were highest in the south-western corner of the area. Based on the data this area is the most prospective area to conduct further exploration efforts.

Infospective on the European Elections and the European Parliament. EU Centre Singapore Background Brief No. 12, May 2014

With the 2014 European Elections just round the corner, the EU Centre has published an infospective (Background Brief 12) by Devi Shree Malarvanan and Dexter Lee (EU Centre in Singapore) entitled “Infospective on the European Elections and the European Parliament” This infospective covers the history of the European Parliament, highlighting the legislative powers that Parliament has since the 1960s. It also covers the issues and results of the previous 7 European elections, and will feature a sneak peak of the upcoming 2014 European Elections which will be held later in May.

(Table 2) Age determination of sediments from lake basins near Polyarny, Russia

A relative sea-level curve for the Holocene is constructed for Polyarny on the Kola Peninsula, northwest Russia. The curve is based on 18 radiocarbon dates of isolation contacts, identified from lithological and diatomological criteria, in nine lake basins situated between 12 and 57 m a.s.l. Most of the lakes show a conformable, regressive I-II-III (marine-transitional-freshwater) facies succession, indicating a postglacial history comprising an early (10,000-9000 radiocarbon years BP) phase of rapid, glacio-isostatically induced emergence (~5 cm/year) and a later phase (after 7000 years BP,) having a moderate rate of emergence (<0.5 cm/year). Three lakes together record a phase of very low rate of emergence or slight sea-level rise at a level of ~27 m a.s.l., between 8500 and 7000 years BP, which correlates with the regional Tapes transgression. Pollen stratigraphy in the highest lake shows that the area was deglaciated before the Younger Dryas and that previously reconstructed Younger Dryas glacier margins along the north Kola coast lie too far north
