Водопады Курильских островов представляют большой интерес с точки зрения туризма, и особенно все большей популярностью пользуется туризм береговых зон. Береговая линия Курил весьма изрезана, в ее пределах встречается множество интересных объектов, в том числе и водопады. Курилы можно справедливо назвать краем водопадов. На этих островах их более 300, и каждый год открываются все новые. Почти на каждом острове Курильской гряды можно найти летящую воду . Большой вклад в изучение водопадов Сахалинской области внес ученый и путешественник Андрей Клитин. Он обошел пешком крупнейшие острова Курильской гряды Кунашир, Итуруп, Уруп, Симушир, Онекотан и Парамушир, открыл и нанес на карту множество новых водопадов, составил точное описание своих маршрутов. Его описания до сих пор берутся за основу путешественниками. К этим водопадам можно добавить также водопады, самостоятельно обнаруженные автором, и пока не обозначенные на карте. С помощью электронного ресурса Google Earth автором обнаружены новые водопады на овах Шиашкотан, Расшуа, тихоокеанской стороне овов Симушир и Онекотан. Эти открытия , безусловно, требуют полевого подтверждения. В статье предлагается разработка нескольких водопадных береговых маршрутов, продолжительностью 12 дня, по островам Кунашир, Итуруп, Уруп, Онекотан и Парамушир.The waterfalls of the Kuril Islands are of great interest from the point of view of tourism, especially the increasing popularity of tourism on coastal zones. The coastline of the Kuril Islands is highly indented. It is found a lot of interesting objects, including waterfalls. The Kuril Islands rightly can be called the land of waterfalls. On these Islands more than 300, and every year discover the new waterfalls. Almost every island of the Kuril ridge it is possible to find waterfalls. A great contribution to the study of waterfalls Sakhalin region has made scientist and traveler Andrey Klitin. He went to the largest of the Kuril Islands Kunashir, Iturup, Urup, Simushir, Onekotan and Paramushir, discovered and mapped many new waterfalls, was an accurate description of himself routes. His descriptions still are the foundation by the travelers. To these waterfalls, you can also add waterfalls, independently discovered, and it is not marked on the map. Using the eresource Google Earth were found by the author a new waterfalls on the Islands of Shiashkotan, Rasshua, Pacific side of the Islands Simushir and Onekotan. These discoveries, of course, require experimental confirmation. The article proposes the elaboration of several waterfall coastal trails, lasting 12 days, to the Islands of Iturup, Kunashir, Urup, Paramushir and Onekotan.

In his important Presidential Address, dealing, principally, with the diggings he carried out beneath the Norwich Crag, Mr. J. E. Sainty drew attention to a remarkable flint implement (Fig. 2 of the above-mentioned paper) which was found by Mr. T. F. Newnam in the well-known pit at Whitlingham, near Norwich. After haying shewn that the specimen was derived from the pre-Crag Stone Bed, Mr. Sainty gave a careful and accurate description of this implement, and concluded by stating, “It is altogether a very convincing and highly important specimen from the point of view of dating the industry which it represents.”There are, I imagine, few archæologists who, having examined this implement, would disagree with Mr. Sainty's opinion. The specimen is, in fact, of such great significance that it was considered desirable to have it illustrated in four views, and this has now been successfully accomplished by Mr. C. O. Waterhouse, of the British Museum. Mr. Sainty has been so good as to ask me to undertake the task of further describing, and of commenting upon, this implement, and I am indebted to the Curator of the Castle Museum, Norwich, where the flint is now preserved, for loaning it to me for examination. If attention is now directed to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, it will be at once realised that the specimen found by Mr. Newnam is a coarsely-flaked and massive (it weighs 2¼ lbs.) hand-axe. A further examination will show that the flaking which has shaped the implement has been produced by heavy, though skilful blows delivered by a hammerstone of considerable size and weight. It is clear, also, that the specimen was formed by means of what is known as ‘free’ flaking, in which the side from which the flakes are to be removed is not supported by pressure of the hand, or some other object. The result of the application of the above described technique is the removal of flakes inclined to be thick, and showing prominent bulbs of percussion, and of greater breadth than length.

The paper analyzes the long-term dynamics of stocks and annual catches of Pacific cod of the Kuril Islands, and also considers the structure of its modern fishery, taking into account the changes that have occurred in the organization of its coastal fishing in recent years. It was shown that the dynamics of commercial biomass of Pacific cod in the Northern and Southern Kuril Islands is comparable to that in 1975-2020 for groups in the southeastern part of the Bering Sea, the Karagin and Olyutor bays, on the shelf of Western Kamchatka, and in south-western Sakhalin. Development of the cod fishery in the North and South Kuril Islands in 1980-2019 went in accordance with the dynamics of stocks, the maximum catches were observed during the period of a high level of abundance of both groups in the 1980s. While the structure of the cod fishery on the shelf of the Northern Kuril Islands to date can be considered established, the development of fishing in the South Kuril Islands in the last two decades went by the gradual replacement of trawl fishing in the winter-spring period with snorkeling in the summer season.

The City

Olomouc, nowadays a city with 100,000 inhabitants, has always been considered as one of the most prominent Czech cities. It is a social and economical centre, which history started just about the 11th century. The present appearance of the city has its roots in the 18th century, when the city was almost razed to the ground after the Thirty years’ war and a great fire in 1709. After that, the city was rebuilt to a baroque military fortress against Prussia army. At the beginning of the 20th century the majority of the fortress was demolished. Character of the town is dominated by the large number of churches, burgher’s houses and other architecturally significant buildings, like a Holy Trinity Column, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Aim of this project was to state the most suitable methods of visualization of spatial-temporal change in historical build-up area from the tourist’s point of view, and to design and evaluate possibilities of spatial data acquisition. There are many methods of 2D and 3D visualization which are suitable for depiction of historical and contemporary situation. In the article four approaches are discussed comparison of historical and recent pictures or photos, overlaying historical maps over the orthophoto, enhanced visualization of historical map in large scale using the third dimension and photorealistic 3D models of the same area in different ages. All mentioned methods were geolocalizated using the Google Earth environment and multimedia features were added to enhance the impression of perception. Possibilities of visualization, which were outlined above, were realized on a case study of the Olomouc city. As a source of historical data were used rapport plans of the bastion fortress from the 17th century. The accuracy of historical maps was confirmed by cartometric methods with use of the MapAnalyst software. Registration of the spatial-temporal changes information has a great potential in urban planning or realization of reconstruction and particularly in the propagation of the region and increasing the knowledge of citizens about the history of Olomouc.

This report provides a brief description of the field work on the Kuril Islands. It was performed within the framework of the R&D theme, projects of the RSF and the RFFR, which are realized in the laboratory of postmagmatic processes of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology FEB RAS. Hydrological and hydrochemical works were performed on the rivers draining the slopes and thermal fields of the Sinarka, Kuntomintar volcanic massifs (Shiashkotan Island), and the Vernadsky and Karpinsky Ridges (Paramushir Island). The study of the chemical erosion of volcanic islands and the assessment of the hydrothermal export of magmatic volatiles are the goals of this work. Infrared photography was taken and the total flux of volcanic SO2 and diffusion flux of CO2 were measured on thermal fields in the caldera of Golovnin volcano. A detailed hydrogeochemical survey was made on the thermal fields of the Ebeko volcano to study the relationship of volcanic and hydrothermal activity of the volcano. For further analytical work, a large number of water and gas samples were taken and a representative collection of rocks and sediments was collected during the expedition.
