The document provides guidance for marking an essay about how and why glaciers move. It should explain the basic description and reasons for how glaciers move, addressing both cold-based and warm-based glaciers. Specifically, it mentions that cold-based glaciers move through internal deformation, laminar flow, and creep, while warm-based glaciers additionally move through basal sliding caused by regelation or creep. The essay should also explain the reasons for glacier movement, including mass, slope, mass balance, water at the base for warm-based glaciers, and gravity.

2. global patterns of food supply
The document discusses global patterns of food supply and consumption. It aims to help the reader understand food imbalances, interpret mapping resources on this topic, and assess the impacts on governments and individuals. Maps show patterns of food imports, exports, consumption and undernourishment in different regions like Europe, North America, Africa. Graphs compare diet and calorie intake in different geographic areas. The reader is asked to analyze these resources and evaluate how changing food supply and demand may affect populations.
6. common agricultural policy
- The document discusses the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Environmental Stewardship schemes in the UK.
- CAP aimed to support farmers, ensure food security, and stabilize markets. It faced criticism and was reformed due to subsidies distorting trade.
- Environmental Stewardship provides funding to farmers who manage land in environmentally friendly ways. It has three levels: Entry Level Stewardship, Organic Entry Level Stewardship, and Higher Level Stewardship for more complex projects.
9. intermedeate tech
The document discusses intermediate technology solutions for improving food supply problems, including land rights and small-scale enterprises. It provides the example of Kukri Mukri in Bangladesh, where Action Aid helped rice farmers by providing literacy classes, introducing duck breeding and new crops, and installing intermediate technology pumps to access fresh groundwater. The pumps are simple, robust, and can be maintained locally with cheap spare parts.
11. unilever
Transnational corporations, or TNCs, play a large role in the global economy. Some key points:
1) The 300 largest TNCs own over a quarter of the world's productive assets, worth around $5 trillion.
2) Many TNC annual sales exceed the GDP of entire countries. For example, Itochu Corporation's sales are more than Austria's GDP.
3) Several major TNCs, like Unilever, Nestle, and Cargill, are involved in global agricultural production and trade.
10. commercialisation of agriculture plantations
This document discusses commercialization of agriculture and its impact on smallholder producers. It raises questions about what options smallholder producers have to commercially engage, what innovations could help them participate in supply chains, and how labor markets and institutions influence agricultural growth and poverty. It also questions how coordination issues in financing, inputs and outputs can be addressed, and how agri-business can be developed and regulated.
7. green revolution
The green revolution significantly increased agricultural production in developing countries between the 1940s-1960s through programs introducing high-yielding crop varieties, irrigation infrastructure, and use of fertilizers. This transformation was initiated by organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation and led to widespread adoption of new crops like rice varieties in countries in Asia and Latin America. While food production increased dramatically, the green revolution also had environmental and social impacts, and its benefits were not evenly distributed. Overall, the green revolution is both praised for preventing famine and criticized for its unintended consequences.
4. types of farming systems
This document discusses different types of farming systems around the world and provides guidance for presenting on several case studies:
- It introduces several major types of farming systems to research and present on, including tropical plantation agriculture in Malaysia, extensive pastoralism in the Pampas, irrigation agriculture in the Nile Valley, intensive subsistence farming in the Ganges Valley, and intensive commercial mixed agriculture in the Netherlands.
- For each case study, the presentation should cover where it is located, how the farming system functions, and the key human and physical factors that influence the system and affect food production.
- The presentations will be short, around 3 slides and 3 minutes each, and should include a handout for the group

3. farming systems
This document discusses the factors affecting different farming systems and how they are distributed spatially. It asks the reader to annotate diagrams showing agriculture systems, identify human and physical factors influencing farming, and consider how these factors are reflected on maps showing world farming patterns. It also reviews the distribution of global farming types and the main factors influencing these differences, limitations of agriculture maps, and other potential influences not evident from map evidence alone.
13. landforms
The document discusses various periglacial landforms including tors, blockfields, pingos, ice wedges, patterned ground, talus, and solifluction lobes. It provides details on the key features, formation processes, and examples of open system and closed system pingos. Open system pingos form in valley bottoms where water collects and freezes into ice lenses, swelling the ground surface. Closed system pingos form when lake sediment insulates the ground and causes ice to build up from trapped water, pushing the sediment into dome shapes.
11. periglaciation areas
The document discusses periglacial processes and landforms. Periglacial areas were originally defined as areas near glaciers, but now refer to regions with permafrost, seasonal temperature variations above freezing, and landforms shaped by freeze-thaw cycles. Such areas make up 25% of the world's land. Examples described include frost-shattered granite, stone circles formed by frost churning, and ice-wedge polygons. Pingos are also discussed, which are mound-like hills formed by ice lenses. Key terms defined include continuous permafrost, discontinuous permafrost, sporadic permafrost, active layer, and talik.
10. fluvioglacial landforms
The document describes glacial and glaciofluvial deposits found in Alberta, Canada, including till, varves, eskers, and kame deltas. Varves are annual layers deposited in glacial lakes, with finer layers in winter and coarser in summer. Varves in the image were deposited in Glacial Lake Leduc and allow dating the lake. As the lake deepened over time, the varves became thinner and better defined as the sediment source moved farther. Glaciofluvial features like eskers and outwash plains can impact human activities by providing resources or affecting drainage.
9. fluvio glacial 2
This document discusses fluvio-glacial environments and processes, including how glacial sediment and meltwater impact these environments. It references homework on glaciers, differences between glacial and glaciofluvial deposits, and how fluvio-glacial processes can create unique landscapes. Graphs are shown related to jokulhlaups and their relevance to these environments.
8. fluvioglacial 1
Glaciers produce meltwater that flows within and from the glacier in complex systems. Meltwater enters the glacial system through moulins and flows within it, carving tunnels and passages before exiting as glacial streams. The flow and sediment load of these streams varies throughout the year in predictable patterns shown on hydrographs, with peaks in summer when melting is highest and lower flow in winter when melting stops.
7. glacial landforms
This document provides guidance for creating an educational presentation on a specific glacial landform. The presentation should describe the landform's appearance and key features, explain how ice creates the landform and the processes involved, include a real-world example, and incorporate visual and interactive elements like diagrams, photos or a quiz. Some common glacial landforms that could be covered are cirques, aretes, pyramidal peaks, rock steps, truncated spurs, hanging valleys, roche moutonnées, rock drumlins, crag and tails, striations, tills, moraines, erratics or till drumlins.
6. how glaciers move
The document discusses the movement and processes of glaciers. It lists 5 tasks: 1) describe temperature profiles and compare two diagrams of summer and winter temperatures in glaciers, 2) compare velocity profiles of polar and temperate glaciers, 3) describe glacier velocity cross sections and differences between extending and compressing flow, 4) produce a mind map of glacial processes like frost shatter, weathering, deposition, and erosion, and 5) create a flow chart dividing polar and temperate glacier movement using information from page 328 describing most glaciers as polythermal.
5. obruchev glacier
The Obruchev Glacier is located in the Polar Urals. It is a typical temperate cirque glacier covering an area of 0.3 square kilometers. The glacier is 0.9 kilometers long and ranges in altitude from 397 to 650 meters above sea level. Between 1960 and 1981, Russian scientists conducted annual studies of the glacier, measuring its winter mass balance, net balance at the end of the ablation season, and velocity of ice movement up to 6 meters per year. Charts show the relationship between the glacier's annual balance and the height of its equilibrium line.
4.glacial systems
This document discusses factors that influence glacial cycles and how glaciers operate as systems. It asks the reader to rank five factors that influence glaciation and interglacial periods from most to least responsible. It also discusses glaciers as systems with inputs, outputs, transfers, and stores. Diagrams are provided to label different zones of a glacier and explain patterns on a graph showing the glacial budget over time and how it may vary by location.
2. the global distribution of cold environments
Cold environments exist in polar regions around the Arctic and Antarctic circles, where there are ice sheets and pack ice. Alpine glaciers also form in mountainous areas. According to maps and figures shown, the distribution of cold environments has changed over time, with evidence suggesting polar regions were once located farther south based on the previous extent of ice sheets and permafrost. Key factors influencing the location of cold environments include latitude, altitude, and proximity to large bodies of water or ice masses.
1. cold environments
This document discusses cold environments and provides examples of different types of cold features including glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets located in Alaska, Antarctica, and Newfoundland. It instructs students to complete reading sheets about cold environments and review homework assignments covering the first two sheets.

Infrastructure Challenges in Scaling RAG with Custom AI models
Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with open-source and custom AI models is a complex task. This talk explores the challenges in productionizing RAG systems, including retrieval performance, response synthesis, and evaluation. We’ll discuss how to leverage open-source models like text embeddings, language models, and custom fine-tuned models to enhance RAG performance. Additionally, we’ll cover how BentoML can help orchestrate and scale these AI components efficiently, ensuring seamless deployment and management of RAG systems in the cloud.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
