The Relationship Between High Ozone Days And Atmospheric Patterns In Atlanta, Georgia, Edward Eugene Unger
The Relationship Between High Ozone Days And Atmospheric Patterns In Atlanta, Georgia, Edward Eugene Unger
Anthropology Theses
Tropospheric ozone pollution is a world-wide problem, based on studies reported from locations as diverse as India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, Spain, Greece, Canada, and the United States. Ozone is a serious pollutant in the troposphere due to its adverse effects on the health of plants, and on the respiratory systems, eyes, and mucous membranes of humans. Due to the seriousness of the issue, the ozone problem in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area was investigated. A review of the literature revealed a research deficiency, since no environment-to-circulation analysis of the ozone problem in the Atlanta metropolitan area could …
Development As Destruction; Geographic Analysis Of Land Use Changes In Port Of Spain, Trinidad, Carla Waldron
Development As Destruction; Geographic Analysis Of Land Use Changes In Port Of Spain, Trinidad, Carla Waldron
Anthropology Theses
Trinidad and Tobago developed from an agricultural colony to a nation whose main economic driving forces include oil, natural gas and the service industries. This study seeks to examine how the changes in the economy and industrial sectors affected changes in the land use of the capital city of Port of Spain. Specifically it seeks to discover how the current service centred industrial boom has affected the urban land use of each district of Port of Spain and compares current trends with those in the past using city boundary, population, employment, housing to support land use data. Findings demonstrate that …
Spatial Precipitation Variability, Snowfall, And Historical Bison Occurrence In The Northwest United States, Heather Anna Williams
Spatial Precipitation Variability, Snowfall, And Historical Bison Occurrence In The Northwest United States, Heather Anna Williams
Anthropology Theses
Throughout the Holocene, bison have always been more abundant east of the Rocky Mountains with considerably fewer bison found west of the Rocky Mountains. It is likely that drought frequency and snowfall characteristics have influenced the pattern of historical bison occurrence across the northwest United States. Using monthly average snow and precipitation data from the past several decades, average April snow water equivalent (SWE) and summertime drought frequency were analyzed at sites across the northwest United States. A climatic stress index (CSI) was developed by combining average SWE and drought frequency for sites, as these are the climate factors that …
Recovering A Sense Of Place In The Edge City, Michael Chance Page
Recovering A Sense Of Place In The Edge City, Michael Chance Page
Anthropology Theses
The edge city is often criticized as being a center of placelessness. It is the devaluation and commodification of place in contemporary approaches to urban design and planning that is stifling the prosperity of place identity and subsequently the ability for edge cites to create 'a sense of place'. It is probable that a broadened understanding of the situational context and the role of human experience in place making can suggest alternatives to current practices that reduce place to location. Capturing the essence of place inspires superior strategies for producing place identity and a grasp on the meaning of how …
Geographic Analysis Of Two Suburban Mega Church Congregations In Atlanta: A Distance And Demographic Study, Ulrike Krampe Ingram
Geographic Analysis Of Two Suburban Mega Church Congregations In Atlanta: A Distance And Demographic Study, Ulrike Krampe Ingram
Anthropology Theses
This thesis examines the spatial distribution of church members of two suburban mega churches in Atlanta. The research question concerns why people are choosing to drive thirty minutes or more to attend a mega church. A cost-benefit analysis weighs the costs of going to a distant church against the benefits of attending those churches. Examination focuses on the worship style, as well as the sense of community imparted by the two churches. The author also examines demographic factors such as gender, age, marital status, and socio-economic factors such as race, education, and occupation. The findings of the analysis demonstrate that …
Cartography, Discourse, And Disease: How Maps Shape Scientific Thought About Disease, Stacey L. Martin
Cartography, Discourse, And Disease: How Maps Shape Scientific Thought About Disease, Stacey L. Martin
Anthropology Theses
This research examines public health mapping over two time periods, 1944-1954 and 2000-2004 and explores how mapping disease shaped scientific knowledge about disease. During World War II, the Atlas of Diseases was produced by cartographers and geographers well versed in the subjectivity of maps. Today professionals in a variety of disciplines use digital mapping software to produce maps of disease. This research takes a look at how public health maps and mapping of disease have changed over time and discusses the political implications of public health mapping as an aspect of geographic governance.
