  • The United Arab Emirates

    Open AccessAlexander MelamidARTICLEGeographical Review1997Referencias: 2

    visit to the southern shore of the Persian Gulf, formerly known as Trucial Oman or the Pirate Coast, during the winter of 1996-1997 permits an updating of my earlier work (Melamid 1953,1973,1989). Great Britain was an established colonial presence in the gulf in 1820, having signed a series of agreements with the sheikhs of the individual tribes that, augmented by treaties on preserving a maritime truce, earned the area the name of Trucial States…

  • New Pipelines in Australia

    Open AccessAlexander MelamidARTICLEGeographical Review1995

    In 1895 the government of Western Australia considered a project to bring sweet water from a reservoir to be constructed in the Darling Range near Perth.

Construction of a 966-kilometer-long pipeline with eight pumping stations was required. Skeptics doubted the technical and economic feasibility of the project, but it …

  • International Trade in Natural Gas

    Open AccessAlexander MelamidARTICLEGeographical Review1994

    World reserves of natural gas and oil, converted into energy terms, are about equal. Natural gas supplies approximately one-fifth of the world's energy consumption; oil two-fifths; the remainder comes from various other sources, such as nuclear power, coal, and hydroelectric power. The imbalance between natural gas and oil results from the incongruent geography of reserves and consumption. Economic factors include the economics of transportation,…

    talus slopes are mostly used for the same purpose, except for the terminus of these falaj, where open canals tend to emerge. Dates, vegetables, grains, and fodder crops are the produce of agriculture at these lower elevations in this hot, arid country. The higher parts of the Jebel al-Akhdar, usually above 1,800 meters elevation, have significantly lower temperatures; on the plateaus, lows of -10? C have been observed in winter, and summer temper…

  • Geography of Strategic Petroleum Reserves

    Open AccessAlexander MelamidARTICLEGeographical Review1992

    In 1975 the United States established a strategic petroleum reserve to diminish vulnerability from interruption of supplies by force majeure or by political developments that could adversely affect the American economy and security. The decision was prompted in the aftermath of the worst post-World War II depression, from 1973 to 1975, in response to restrictions on crudeoil exports by OPEC and to an embargo by Arab states against the United Stat…
