	McMurdo Dry Valleys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dry Valleys are so named because of their extremely low humidity and their lack of snow or ice cover.
		The valley floors are covered with a loose gravelly material, in which ice-wedge polygons may be observed.
		Scientists consider the Dry Valleys perhaps the closest of any terrestrial environment to Mars, and thus an important source of insights into possible extraterrestrial life.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Patía Valley dry forests (NT0225)
		Like most of the dry valleys in the Andes, the Patía Valley is threatened by human settlement and urban sprawl.
		The Patía Valley is a dry pocket surrounded by the cloud forests of the Central and Western cordilleras, and it is dissected by the Patía river, which flows from the Central massif westwards and breaks the Western cordillera to drain into the Pacific ocean.
		This small, dry, interAndean valley in southwestern Colombia is the most northerly occurrence of this forest type west of the Andes in South America.

	Quivira Vineyards - Dry Creek Valley - Sonoma County (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Native Americans occupied the Dry Creek Valley for at least 5000 years living in what must have been an extraordinary paradise replete with ample food sources (there is no word in the Pomo language for famine or extreme hunger) and no apparent sign of human conflict or danger.
		It comprised 17,000 acres encompassing most of the Dry Creek Valley and was granted in 1843 to the fourteen year old son of a Sergeant Major in the Spanish Colonial Militia named Jose German Pina.
		Then as now, Dry Creek Valley was synonymous with good Zinfandel, and Quivira continues to honor the rich history and tradition of its many generations of predecessors by growing and making wine that truly represents a "Taste of Place".

	K&L Wine Merchants - The Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines
		Of the estimated 6,000 acres of grapevines planted in the Dry Creek Valley appellation, it is estimated that no more than 15% of that acreage is planted to Zinfandel, and of that amount, pre-WWII old vine plantings are less than 200 acres.
		Nearly all of the viticultural development is along a deeply cut river valley that runs parallel to the Alexander Valley, but is not nearly as subject to the Pacific Ocean breezes that cool that broad valley in the early afternoon.
		Dry Creek's daytime temperatures can often climb to over 100 degrees, and its most renowned section of land for Zinfandel is an area known as the "eastern bench," where the vines bake in the summer heat.

		In N Palestine the ridge is interrupted by the Plain of Esdraelon (Jezreel) and the connecting valley of Bet Shean (Beisan), the most fertile part of the region.
		The various sections of the plain are named the Valley of Zebulun, or Plain of Acre, S of Akko; Sharon, S of Mt. Carmel; and the Shephelah, or Philistia, in the extreme south.
		Farther south the valley is too narrow to be of much use, except for providing water power, and there is only one city, Jericho, E of Jerusalem.

		Currently, our Valley is facing some of the largest engineering projects ever proposed in Northern California: from the Gallo Winery expansion, to the storage and piping of billions of gallons of wastewater into our watershed, to the piping of water from Lake Sonoma down Dry Creek Road.
		After a 25 year request by the Dry Creek Valley Association to the Sonoma County Roads Department they completed their study and posted signs for a permanent speed zone and not a suggested speed zone, beginning a the junction of Westside Road and West Dry Creek Road all the way along to Lambert Bridge Road.
		Valley pioneer Howard Dicke, our once-pipe-smoking, wry-joke-telling friend and long-time creek mentor who just happens to be the best backhoe operator this side of River Rock Casino, has been upstaged by a battery of biologists, botanists, hydraulic engineers, nursery consultants, project and funding managers.

	Saginaw Valley Dry Bean & Sugar Beet Research Farm
		From 1926 through 1970 on-site research with dry edible beans and sugar beets was conducted at the Ferden Farm near Chesaning Michigan.
		Dry beans grown in the early days of the Ferden Farm had a prostrate vine growth habit which made them very susceptible to the “Saginaw County Fair Week” rains which occurred after Labor Day when the beans would ripen.
		During the late 1970’s at the Saginaw Valley Bean and Beet Research Farm an upright short vine dry bean was introduced that kept most of beans off of the ground and increased the chances of a farmer selling a good quality dry bean for market.

	Dry Valleys in Antarctica - Antarctic Connection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Antarctic Dry Valley glaciers are clean and white, with a minimum of rock debris, few crevasses, and near-vertical terminus walls.
		Only the Taylor and upper Wright Valleys have glaciers at their heads, which connect with the ice of the polar plateau; the other valleys have either barren upper reaches or small alpine glaciers.
		This rugged topography extends down the valley about 6 kilometers and is believed to be the product of either (1) the large, steady flow of subglacial streams, or (2) a sudden release of extremely large volumes of glacial meltwater that had been trapped beneath the ice cap.

	McMurdo Dry Valley LTER Science Workshop
		The McMurdo Dry Valleys are located on the western coast of the Ross Sea (77 00 `S, 162 52 `E); and are composed of a mosaic of dry-based glaciers, meltwater streams, ice-covered lakes and extensive areas of desert soil.
		In the McMurdo Dry Valleys, glacial meltwater streams are a critical linkage between the glaciers and the lakes in the valley bottoms.
		Solar radiation is an important driving force for hydrological and biological systems in the dry valleys, influencing sublimation and melting of the glaciers, heating of the soils and air, and providing energy for photosynthesis by the microbial communities in the streams, soils, and perennially ice-covered lakes.

	McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (LTER)
		The McMurdo Dry Valleys are located on the western coast of McMurdo Sound (77°00'S 162°52'E) and form the largest relatively ice-free area (approximately 4800 square kilometers) on the Antarctic continent.
		The perennially ice-covered lakes, ephemeral streams and extensive areas of exposed soil within the McMurdo Dry Valleys are subject to low temperatures, limited precipitation and salt accumulation.
		Thus, the dry valleys represent a region where life approaches its environmental limits, and is an "end-member" in the spectrum of environments included in the LTER Network.
