This year was another exciting one for the Alpha Chapter. Duri ng National Geography Awareness Week we sold Tshirts and went on a wild weekend canoe and camping trip to Turkey Run in Indiana. The weather and fall colors were beautiful, hiking was fun, and the river was low, making a wet run for 5 out of 6 canoes. In November, the members took an Indianapolis trip to see an ice hockey game and to sightsee.
The Timing Of The Baroclinicity Maximum Along The East And Gulf Coasts Of The United States, Brent Walker
The Timing Of The Baroclinicity Maximum Along The East And Gulf Coasts Of The United States, Brent Walker
The Geographical Bulletin
Certain mid-latitude coastal areas are zones of extreme baroclinicity during the coldest months of the year. Because midlatitude cyclones often tend to travel along these zones of coastal baroclinicity, the exact timing of the variations in the degree of baroclinicity along these coasts is important with regard to the forecasting of cyclonic storm tracks and their associated weather. This study examines the variations in the timing and magnitude of the baroclinicity along the east coast and the Gulf of Mexico of the United States. Near coastal land surface temperatures and sea surface temperatures along both coasts are compared for the …
Environmental And Topographical Factors Affecting Male "Middle-Of-The-Pack" Duathlon Performance, Glen A. Wiggins, Peter T. Soule
Environmental And Topographical Factors Affecting Male "Middle-Of-The-Pack" Duathlon Performance, Glen A. Wiggins, Peter T. Soule
The Geographical Bulletin
Duathlon performance in male "middle-of-the-pack" (MMP) athletes was examined for 13 races held in Oregon and British Columbia during 1990. The primary objectives was to investigate the relationship between topographic and race-day weather variability on MMP duathlon performance. Regression models were created to help explain MMP performance for each duathlon segment (first 5 km run, 30 km bicycle, second 5 km run), overall, and 5 km run disparity. A suite of topographic and raceday weather variables were considered as possible explanatory variables. First 5 km ~un performance is primarily a function of the topographic difficulty of the course. Wind speed …
The Impact Of Mountain Goat Migration On Unconsolidated Slopes In Glacier National Park, Montana, David R. Butler
The Impact Of Mountain Goat Migration On Unconsolidated Slopes In Glacier National Park, Montana, David R. Butler
The Geographical Bulletin
Native mountain goats must cross U.S. Highway 2 in order to gain access to a natural salt lick along the southern boundary of Glacier National Park, Montana. Prior to 1981, goats approached through forest cover and then crossed over the highway. Reconstruction of the highway incorporated two goat underpasses which substantially altered the migration pattern. Large numbers of goats now utilize an open, south-facing slope, and cause extensive erosion. Repeat photography illustrates the extent of erosion over the period since 1981 , and provides estimates of the amount of sediment removed. Erosion rates are startlingly high, and are a direct …
Glacial Landforms East Of Mount Meylixueshan In Yunnan Province, China, And Its Implication To The Mountain Uplift During The Late Pleistocene And Holocene, Masamu Aniya
The Geographical Bulletin
Glacial landforms in the valleys of the Shenchenbao Glacier and the Lailogoru Glacier located on the eastern side of Mt. Meylixueshan (6,740 m), the highest mountain in Yunnan Province, China, were investigated in the field. The Shenchenbao Glacier terminates currently at 3,570 m and in the valley below, four terminal moraines and one pair of grand lateral moraines are recognized. The lowest terminal moraine is located at 3,260 m, about 2.5 km down from the present glacier snout. The snout of the Lilogoru Glacier lies at 2,650 m, about 900 m lower than the Shenchenbao Glacier. Located in front of …

One of the greatest curses and pleasures of my life is being a geographer. The curse? Do you have any idea how many times I am asked to name the capitol of Kentucky (I don't even care) or how many people pick me as their partner in Trivial Pursuit or Jeopardy? The pleasure? Practicing real geography, that is, using and teaching geographical skills to solve real problems and understanding the world around me. More of this later. It always amazes me how a discipline as old and distinguished as geography came to be so misunderstood through the centuries. Granted, there …

The Alpha Chapter is surprising itself every year with more initiates (21 this year) and more active members (35 very active individuals)! We were a busy bunch this year starting with our Homecoming float and kiddy kazoo band, in conjunction with the Political Science Club, with 60 parents and children participating, and even receiving third place award of $150. National Geography Awareness week included geography quizzes across campus, selling geography T-shirts, and visits to the local Junior High schools to make kids more aware of geography. We even had a 6th grade geography poster contest with local stores donating prizes.

Reinterpretation Of Relations Between Vegetation Removal And Water Yield, David P. Post, George P. Malanson
Reinterpretation Of Relations Between Vegetation Removal And Water Yield, David P. Post, George P. Malanson
The Geographical Bulletin
While the relation between vegetation clearance and increasing streamflow appears to be strong for data aggregated among geographic regions, results are equivocal in local areas. Earlier data are re-analyzed to consider the role of hydroclimatology. While vegetation clearance increases absolute streamflow, the proportional change is not significant. Residuals of regressions of absolute and proportional change in streamflow on vegetation clearance are related to precipitation, with positive and negative slopes, respectively. A few outliers with high responses are important in creating a pattern, and hydroclimatology is a better predictor of change in streamflow than is vegetation clearance for aggregate data. With …
Extended Travel As An Introduction To Geography, Michael E. Lewis, Jeffery C. Patton
Extended Travel As An Introduction To Geography, Michael E. Lewis, Jeffery C. Patton
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper describes an alternative to capstone field courses in undergraduate curricula. Early opportunities for faculty guided exploration and discovery provide students with firsthand field experience and is an effective means of recruiting and retaining qualified geography majors. A wide ranging, rapid movement model is more effective for introducing students to the spatial character of geography than single destination capstone courses
The Geography Of The 1992 U.S. Presidential Debates, Cynthia L. Sutherland, Gerald R. Webster
The Geography Of The 1992 U.S. Presidential Debates, Cynthia L. Sutherland, Gerald R. Webster
The Geographical Bulletin
Due to the United States' reliance upon the electoral college, its presidential elections are intrinsically geographic events. In their campaigns successful candidates must address issues of varying pertinence in different places and at different geographic scales. The three 1992 presidential debates provide an opportunity to consider the relative geographic emphases of the three presidential candidates based on their references to geographic places. This paper uses the verbatim dialogue of the 1992 presidential debates to extract place name references by each of the three candidates. Chi-square tests are applied to the relative use of foreign and domestic place names by the …
Cemetery Landscape Of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, Tadashi Nakagawa
Cemetery Landscape Of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, Tadashi Nakagawa
The Geographical Bulletin
A geographical analysis of 39 cemeteries in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, reveals a cultural mosaic of the parish. While French Louisiana culture is dominant throughout the area, some elements of the Upland South culture, such as feet-to-east burial orientation, appear in eastern Ascension Parish. The distribution pattern of above ground burials indicates a cultural hierarchy in western Ascension Parish with Donaldsonville in its peak.

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. Term Papers Or Theses Or Whatever Without Chaos, John F. Lounsbury
The Geographical Bulletin
Most geography students at the college level will become involved in a research project of some sort at some time in their academic careers. There are several ways that this might occur. For example, there are term papers for specific courses and senior theses at the undergraduate level, and pressure problems, master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations at the graduate level. Further, on occasions students will prepare research papers to be given at a meeting of a professional society or to be submitted to a professional or semi-professional journal for publication. Also, graduate students may write proposals for funding or to …

The Establishment Of Turf Farming In Tsukuba City, Japan, Atsushi Onodera, Shizue Kamikihara, Takehiro Morimoto
The Geographical Bulletin
Formative processes of a turf producing region are examined in Tsukuba City, the leading turf producing area in Japan. Turf production in Tsukuba City is carried out together by turf traders and landscape gardeners. Due to the urbanization of Tsukuba City, almost all farms are now operated part time. Since even elderly farmers can easily produce turf, turf production has become a widely accepted activity. Moreover, a golf course construction boom has lead to a greater demand in turf production and to high prices of turf.

Farm Chemicals As Indicators Of Sediment Sources In Iowa Rivers, Edward N. Nealson, George P. Malanson
Farm Chemicals As Indicators Of Sediment Sources In Iowa Rivers, Edward N. Nealson, George P. Malanson
The Geographical Bulletin
Determination of the source of sediment in rivers and streams is important in order to effectively implement a program to reduce its concentration. This project uses agricultural chemicals as indicators of current sources of sediment from farm fields in the Cedar River, Iowa watershed. We hypothesized that the relations of sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorous yields to precipitation would indicate whether sediment originated from erosion of fields or from channel bank erosion of floodplains. The changes in sediment, nitrate, and phosphorus in the channel in response to rainfall events were determined. In simple regressions, all three variables have similar slopes when …

Agricultural Drought Mitigation In Carroll County, Maryland, Teresa Kaltenbacher
The Geographical Bulletin
Carroll County, with its longstanding tradition in agriculture, has had many past experiences with drought. This paper examines drought as it pertains to the farming community in the county. Precipitation statistics for the past 30 years are analyzed in context of the drought occurring in the summer of 1991. Crop loss and the subsequent implementation of federal emergency relief programs by the administering agencies within Carroll County are investigated and an assessment of their overall effectiveness is determined. Various coping strategies and perceptions of drought on an individual level are explored based on a field interview with a Carroll County …

The Urban Surface Of Shanghai Proper, Li Jinan, Tao Kanghua
The Geographical Bulletin
Based on data from aerial photographs the form, material component, and structure of the urban surface of Shanghai Proper are quantitatively mapped, classified, and analyzed. Relationships between the characteristic of the land cover and urban problems are identified. Urban surfaces include natural features such as open water and culture surfaces such as tile roofs, and concrete surfaces. A quantitative analysis of the land cover reveals the historical development of Shanghai and the emergence of an urban basin with the taller buildings at the perimeter, not in the central city. The study also reveals sections of the city where natural hazards …

I grew up in Newark, New Jersey. I loved its streets and its people. I loved the public schools, the No. 13 trolley that carried passengers down Clinton Avenue to the downtown area, to Bamberger's, Hahnes' and Kresge's, to the Newark Museum and especially the public library. For eighteen or more years I had never been outside of New Jersey or New York, but in the library I found the world. And I could float in my imagination to the Indian sub-continent, to China and Japan, to the great European capitals, to Oceania and beyond. I found a great fascination …

The Work Of Strangers: A Survey Of International Labour Migration By Peter Stalker., C. Nicholas Raphael
The Work Of Strangers: A Survey Of International Labour Migration By Peter Stalker., C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
As recently as the late 1980s, the migration of workers across international boundaries was a relatively minor phenomenon. Today however, the migration of workers across such boundaries as well as intercontinental movement is one of the most striking geographical aspects of the globalization of the world economy. The global landscape has developed some remarkable new economic and political features in recent years. As noted by the author-from Eastern Europe, to the Pacific Rim, to the United States-Mexican border-a reshaping of territories and alliances along with shifts of economic power have been redirecting many international flows of money, goods and most …

Improving Rail Resources: The Detroit-Chicago Rail Corridor Upgrade, A. Stroup
The Geographical Bulletin
The Detroit-Chicago Rail Corridor was awarded federal high-speed rail designation in October, 1992. This designation was the end result of a 22-year Amtrak/State of Michigan partnership created to improve the corridor's infrastructure and performance. Portions of the corridor are now able to support train speeds of up to 110 mph due to improvements to trackage and safety devices, and the elimination of some grade crossings. Facility improvements along with the infrastructure improvements have been responsible for the nearly 170 percent increase in annual corridor ridership since 1970. The continued commitment of numerous agencies has ensured that the Detroit-Chicago Corridor is …
