For many centuries, Kashgar has been a major crossroads between East Asia, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Its location in the heart of the Silk Road has led to a diverse cultural heritage, and subsequently there exists a variety of cultural heritage sites, including Buddhist stupas, mazars (Islamic cemeteries), mosques, irrigation canals, and artifacts. Nowadays, the cultural heritage sites of Kashgar are under-explored and under threat of destruction. This thesis aims to produce new knowledge that would lead to a better understanding, and therefore better protection and preservation opportunities, for the cultural heritage sites of Kashgar. This is achieved by providing new information about the spatial distribution of the existing cultural heritage sites of Kashgar, establishing the relationships between the locations of the cultural heritage sites and their surrounding landscapes, and mapping and modeling the likelihood of the distribution of cultural heritages in the region through integrating Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and spatial modeling techniques. The thesis also aims to evaluate the modeling and predictive power of Weights of Evidence (WoE) - a GIS based predictive modeling method - for cultural resource management (CRM).

Recent studies of sediment sources in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon have shown that gully erosion is a dominant contributor of sediment, particularly in the Burdekin and Fitzroy catchments. This project aimed to provide spatially-comprehensive mapping and monitoring of gully erosion in the Burdekin catchment to improve knowledge of where gullies occur and to attempt to better understand the processes and drivers of gully erosion, particularly in the grazing lands of the catchment.The summary report is a synopsis of this larger report prepared to document the tasks and outcomes of the Reef Water Quality Science Program project: RP66G Gully mapping and drivers in the grazing lands.

In 1954 reporter Uri Dan met a young military commander named Ariel Sharon and followed him closely for more than half a century. Dan became Sharon's trusted advisor and a witness to the defining moments of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--from secret meetings with heads of state to open warfare in the Sinai. This riveting combination of political history, narrative biography, interviews, and correspondence sheds new light on the conflict in the Middle East and provides an intimate, definitive portrait of Ariel Sharon--a man whose life is inextricably intertwined with Israel's destiny. With Hamas governing Palestine, Ariel Sharon gravely ill and the party he founded, the Kadima, in control of the Knesset, this book couldn't be more timely.
