1 Land Resources

• Published: May 2016
• Cite Icon Cite
• Permissions Icon Permissions

Land Resources are resource endowments for economic development in order to improve the quality of life and living condition of the people over time. The present survey of research on land resources attempts a review of papers dealing with application of landform studies in socio-economic development. Study of landforms is essential for better land use, land capability, land evaluation, land development and land management. In the present study major characteristics of physical attributes of land and land based resources have been attempted, reviewing the processes of land degradation and desertification, landslides, coastal processes, glacial features and climate change and role of landforms in urban development and natural hazard zonation. The rapidly growing studies on land resources have undergone a rapid change in content, methodology and approach to the study of landforms and their application in social and economic spheres. It has been observed that depletion of land resources is the greatest challenge in this century. Pressure on land is rapidly increasing due to increasing population for finite land resources.

From a case study to a large database: Sharing data to map saline agriculture initiatives

• From CGIAR Initiative on Asian Mega-Deltas
• Published on 09.09.24
• Impact Area Adaptation , Climate adaptation & mitigation

Share this to :

For the thirteenth installment of Delta Talks, the CGIAR Initiative on Asian Mega-Deltas (AMD) and Wageningen University & Research ( WUR ) presented a webinar on sharing data to map saline agriculture initiatives.

Katarzyna Negacz and Pim van Tongeren from the Institute for Environmental Studies at VU Amsterdam presented their research, which focused on the development of a governance landscape for cooperative initiatives in saline agriculture. Their research was motivated by the increasingly complex institutional framework emerging in this field. Recently, a wide range of public, private, and hybrid international organizations have come together to address the growing challenge of salinization through innovative saline agriculture initiatives.

A collaboration between AMD and WUR, Delta Talks is a webinar series focusing on the development and results of research activities on securing food systems and strengthening climate resilience in the Asian mega-deltas. Delta Talks serves as a platform for the joint exchange of research results or ongoing work between AMD and WUR.

Law School’s band performs this fall at the Beachland Ballroom, Chautauqua Institute, Cleveland Zoo and Browns Stadium

Razing the Bar, CWRU School of Law’s faculty/student/alumni rock band, kicked off the 2024 Jam for Justice on Wednesday, Aug. 24. Featuring ten local lawyer bands, the Jam for Justice was held at the famed Beachland Ballroom, where several renowned bands including the Black Keys got their start. The emcee for the Jam for Justice was WKYC’s Stephanie Haney.  

The Jam for Justice is an annual fundraiser for Cleveland’s Legal Aid Society. This year’s event raised over $120,000 from sponsors and ticket sales.  More than 800 people attended including the CWRU 1L class as part of orientation.

Razing the Bar , whose name was chosen through a law school naming contest, was formed more than a decade ago. The band has played at such high profile venues as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, House of Blues, Music Box Supper Club and Happy Dog Tavern. 

The band played on Aug. 26 at the Chautauqua Institute, and will perform at the Walk to Defeat ALS at the Cleveland Zoo at 8:30-11:00 a.m. on Sept. 15 and at the Kardiac Club at Cleveland Browns Stadium from 6-9:00 p.m. on Sept. 26.

The band also performs regularly at Cosmic Dave’s Rock Club on Juniper Road in University Circle, with proceeds going to the Student Public Interest Law Fellowship (SPILF).

While faculty—Michael Scharf (vocals, guitar); Charlie Korsmo (keyboards, guitar, vocals); Joe Custer (bass guitar); Katy Mercer (vocals); and Andrew Pollis (vocals)—form the core of the band, Razing the Bar’s identity is redefined each year as student members graduate and new musicians join the law school. This year, the band features three new 1L vocalists selected via video audition tapes over the summer: Laura Beth Baker from Memphis, Michele Wang from Ottawa (also plays electric violin) and Olivia Thomas from Toledo. They are joined by returning 2Ls Jared Levine from Columbus (drums) and Sophia Fisher from Akron (vocals).  The band also includes two alums, Squire Patton Boggs attorney Liz Safier (LAW ’21) (electric violin), and University Trustee Chuck Hallberg (LAW ‘77) (guitar).

Kent McNeil is an Emeritus Distinguished Research Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. He lives in British Columbia.

The fragility of private land rights in British Columbia is not often discussed – but it should be.

The issue dates back to the 1850s, when colonial governments abandoned governor James Douglas’s policy of signing land-cession treaties with Indigenous nations on Vancouver Island. The colonial attitude, and that of the province after it entered Canada in 1871, was that the Indigenous nations had no rights to the lands they had occupied for thousands of years. British Columbia acted as though it owned all the land not designated as federal land, and granted private land rights as though Aboriginal title did not exist.

Even after the Supreme Court of Canada decided, in the 1973 case of Calder v. British Columbia, that Aboriginal title exists as a legal right, the province relied on the opinion of three of the judges that this right had been extinguished by legislation. That dubious position was proven untenable in 1997 by the Supreme Court’s Delgamuukw decision, which held that the Indigenous nations have Aboriginal title to lands exclusively occupied by them when Britain asserted sovereignty over British Columbia in 1846.

The court also ruled that the province has lacked the constitutional capacity to extinguish Aboriginal title ever since 1871. As a result, former justice Mary Southin of the BC Court of Appeal subsequently noted that Aboriginal title hovers as a “cloud” over private land rights in the non-treaty areas of the province. In reality, the B.C. government has never had the legal authority to extinguish Aboriginal title by creating private rights inconsistent with it.

Attempts to uphold private rights through the application of provincial laws, such as statutes of limitation, run into the same problem: these laws cannot privilege private rights over Aboriginal title, because the province has never had the capacity to extinguish Aboriginal title in the first place. This is a necessary consequence of the Delgamuukw decision.

So how is this conflict between Aboriginal title and private land rights to be resolved? This question lies at the heart of Canada’s desire to make amends for past wrongs and achieve reconciliation.

One way forward is suggested in the Haida Title Agreement, entered into by the Haida Nation and the British Columbia government in April. In it, the province recognizes Haida Aboriginal title to Haida Gwaii, and the Haida Nation consents to honouring private property rights. This agreement actually provides private rights with more legal protection than they previously enjoyed, because it removes the cloud of uncertainty created by the Haida’s previously unresolved Aboriginal title claim.

The agreement, however, does not deal with the issue of how to address the legal wrongs committed when these private interests were created. The provincial government is responsible because, in issuing grants to lands that are subject to Aboriginal title, it acted without legal authority. As these grants were invalid, the recipients would have entered as trespassers without realizing it. But because they weren’t conscious wrongdoers, as they relied on the government’s purported authority, it should be up to the government to right these wrongs.

Dispossessing the current beneficiaries of government land grants would not be just, especially when the land has passed through numerous innocent hands. Instead, compensation should be paid to the Indigenous nations concerned. In Canadian law, anytime a government expropriates land, compensation must be paid. This is the case even when expropriation is lawfully exercised for public purposes such as roads. When land has been unlawfully taken and cannot be returned, the case for compensation is even stronger. Moreover, compensation for the past taking of Indigenous lands is mandated by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which the B.C. legislature has affirmed applies in the province.

Some may balk at the cost of compensating Indigenous nations for the wrongful taking of their lands, as the burden will ultimately fall on all of us as taxpayers. However, the reality is that we have all benefitted – and continue to benefit – from these takings. A large part of the wealth of this country comes from the rich lands and abundant natural resources that once belonged to the Indigenous nations. They have shown remarkable generosity toward us as newcomers, agreeing in treaties to share their lands with us. Where lands were taken without their consent, it is only right that fair compensation should be paid. Reciprocal sharing and reconciliation demand no less.

techUK: new AI adoption case study collection - call for case studies!

As part of techUK’s 2024 AI Campaign Week, we are launching a call for techUK member case studies, to demonstrate how organisations are tackling the barriers to AI adoption to maximise AI's potential. These case studies will be showcased to UK organisations that are also embarking on their AI adoption journeys, providing them with practical examples and insights to guide their Putting AI into Action efforts. 

Our AI Adoption collection of case studies will provide a comprehensive look at how organisations are effectively integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations. These case studies highlight a diverse range of examples where AI is being put into action, either through the internal adoption of AI models to enhance organisational capabilities or by developing innovative AI tools and solutions that can be utilised by others. 

Through these real-world examples, our collection aims to shed light on how AI is transforming various industries, from health and social care and cybersecurity to transportation and central government, among others. By presenting these practical use cases, we hope to illustrate best practices for AI implementation, demonstrating how organisations—whether large organisations, or SMEs, are successfully leveraging AI to drive efficiency, innovation, and competitiveness.  

These case studies are valuable for numerous audiences, including businesses looking to optimise their processes and explore new AI-driven opportunities, public sector organisations seeking to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency, and government bodies and policymakers aiming to understand how best to support UK businesses who are playing their part to drive UK innovation and economic growth.  

Each case study not only provides an in-depth analysis of the specific AI strategies employed but also offers insights into the challenges faced, the solutions implemented, and the measurable impacts achieved. The goal is to empower these varied stakeholders with valuable lessons and actionable insights, helping them navigate their own AI journeys with greater confidence and clarity. 

Ultimately, by sharing these examples, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of AI's potential across sectors in the UK and to encourage more organisations, whether in the private or public sectors, to explore and adopt AI-driven solutions tailored to their unique needs and objectives. 

Please fill out this form with the details of your case study .

Once you you have completed the form please submit it to/contact for further queries, techUK’s Programme Manager for Artificial Intelligence, Usman Ikhlaq: [email protected]

The water resources of Ob and Irtysh and water availability in the context of natural areas, landscape provinces, and river basins are considered. The information on extreme hydrological phenomena on water bodies of the Ob-Irtysh Basin has been analyzed and structured. Using the results of statistical analysis of data series of average annual discharges for major rivers in the south of West Siberia, the linear trends were calculated. The change in annual discharges for the last decades was estimated. The discharge forecast for the following 10–20 years was given, and the zones of its increase/decrease in the area under study were identified. The volume of abstraction and use of water intake and use and the share of withdrawal in landscape provinces and river basins of the region are estimated.
