Nebraska Democrats Hope Omaha Will Be A ‘Blue Dot’ On The State’S Red Electoral Map − And Their Lawn Sign Is A Vibe, Christina E. Dando Oct 2024

Nebraska Democrats Hope Omaha Will Be A ‘Blue Dot’ On The State’S Red Electoral Map − And Their Lawn Sign Is A Vibe, Christina E. Dando

Geography and Geology Faculty Publications

White signs emblazoned with a big blue dot are going up in yards across Omaha, Nebraska, in an unusual political statement of support for Democratic candidates. Nebraska splits its electoral votes, giving Omaha’s congressional district a single electoral vote out of the state’s total of five. If enough of Omaha’s metropolitan voters back Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for president, Omaha will appear on the electoral map as a “blue dot” on a field of Republican red.

Homelessness And Sofa-Surfing: Everyday Belonging, Mobilities, Identities And Morals In Hidden Spaces Of Welfare, Kieran Green, Mark Holton, Richard Yarwood Oct 2024

Homelessness And Sofa-Surfing: Everyday Belonging, Mobilities, Identities And Morals In Hidden Spaces Of Welfare, Kieran Green, Mark Holton, Richard Yarwood

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

This paper advances existing work on the geographies of homelessness by considering the phenomenon of sofa-surfing—defined as the practice of living in a host's home, without a right to reside, in the absence of more permanent accommodation—as a distinctive, and until recently somewhat hidden, form of homelessness. Examining sofa-surfing is important as it recognises the varied and intersecting spatial, temporal and mobility characteristics of vulnerable populations, often thought to be living at the margins of homelessness. Across the globe, the significant increase in sofa-surfing since the 2010s, coupled with the unique, and frequently hidden, movements between ‘host’ homes, and the …


Voicing Experiences Of Family Members Providing Care To Loved Ones With A Pituitary Condition, Carly Ellicott, Alyson Norman, Sue Jackson Oct 2024

Voicing Experiences Of Family Members Providing Care To Loved Ones With A Pituitary Condition, Carly Ellicott, Alyson Norman, Sue Jackson

School of Psychology

Introduction: This paper draws upon lived experiences of family members caring for a relative with a pituitary condition. The rationale for the study stems from the crucial role provided by informal, unpaid carers. Yet in the specific domain of pituitary care, they remain overlooked within empirical research. Therefore, the current study aimed to understand 1) the experiences of family members whose loved ones have a pituitary condition and 2) the information and support needs of family members. Materials and methods: Adopting a qualitative participatory approach, the study involved six family members, each of whom provided care for a loved one …

Local Hydroclimate Alters Interpretation Of Speleothem Δ18o Records, E. W. Patterson, V. Skiba, A. Wolf, M. L. Griffiths, D. Mcgee, T. N. Bùi, M. X. Trần, T. H. Đinh, Q. Đỗ-Trọng, Gregory R. Goldsmith, V. Ersek, K. R. Johnson

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Oxygen isotopes (δ18O) are the most commonly utilized speleothem proxy and have provided many foundational records of paleoclimate. Thus, understanding processes affecting speleothem δ18O is crucial. Yet, prior calcite precipitation (PCP), a process driven by local hydrology, is a widely ignored control of speleothem δ18O. Here we investigate the effects of PCP on a stalagmite δ18O record from central Vietnam, spanning 45 – 4 ka. We employ a geochemical model that utilizes speleothem Mg/Ca and cave monitoring data to correct the δ18O record for PCP effects. The resulting record …

Co-Creation Of Social Innovations For Healthy Ageing In Rural Europe–A Process Evaluation Of A Volunteer-Led Guided Conversation Toolkit Using Normalisation Process Theory (Npt), Mahrukh Mirza, Basharat Hussain, Shukru Esmene, Catherine Leyshon, Michael Leyshon, Arunangsu Chatterjee

Peninsula Medical School

We critically explored the use of Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) in the evaluation of a co-designed intervention toolkit for Healthy Ageing through Innovation in Rural Europe (HAIRE). The toolkit was co-designed and implemented in rural communities in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. NPT was applied as a novel analytical framework to shed light on key practices and processes that supported implementation. Further, the paper discusses how social innovation research helps frame co-designing such interventions with local communities. During the study, 25 semi-structured interviews were conducted with project partners and volunteers who were involved in toolkit co-design and …

A Re-Examination Of The Lost Lake Effect In Buffalo, New York, Stephen Vermette, Emmanuel Orengo Oct 2024

A Re-Examination Of The Lost Lake Effect In Buffalo, New York, Stephen Vermette, Emmanuel Orengo

The Geographical Bulletin

In 1943, the National Weather Service moved the weather station at Buffalo, New York from its downtown waterfront location to an inland location. Recently discovered air temperature data from the log books of the Colonel Ward Pumping Station (1943 to 1987) allow for a comparison of monthly temperatures with those of Buffalo’s current inland weather station. Our objective is to determine if the lake effect was lost in the climatic record with the inland move of the weather station. Differences in average monthly temperatures between the waterfront and inland locations support the loss of the lake effect. If the weather …


Where Are The Geographers? Newly Incorporated Municipalities (Nims) In The South, Russel M. Smith, Keith Debbage Oct 2024

Where Are The Geographers? Newly Incorporated Municipalities (Nims) In The South, Russel M. Smith, Keith Debbage

The Geographical Bulletin

The creation of new cities can have dramatic impacts on urban landscapes regarding tax rates, land use patterns, school districts, and the provision of other municipal services. Between 1990 and 2005, 193 newly incorporated municipalities (NIMs) were created in the South. The study of these new cities falls under the purview of the larger field of boundary change. Boundary change can take the form of annexation, consolidation/ merger, secession, the formation of special districts, and incorporation. This paper examines the current literature on the different forms of boundary change and provides potential explanations for why municipal incorporation is an area …


Application And Comparison Of Geomorphological And Hydrological Pool And Riffle Quantification Methods, Amy M. Krueger, Kelly M. Frothingham Oct 2024

Application And Comparison Of Geomorphological And Hydrological Pool And Riffle Quantification Methods, Amy M. Krueger, Kelly M. Frothingham

The Geographical Bulletin

Pools and riffles have long been recognized as fundamental geomorphological elements of meandering streams. As such, the quantification of pool and riffle characteristics and development of techniques to identify these bed forms has been an important research field for decades. The definition and identification of pools and riffles, however, can vary amongst disciplines. This research compares methods used in two different disciplines, geomorphology and hydrology, and determines the level of agreement between them. Initially, we identified pools and riffles using the bed differencing technique (bdt) in fifteen reaches of Ransom Creek, Clarence, New York. We then calculated the hydrological index, …


An All-Hazards Approach To Us Military Base Camp Site Selection, Mark Corson, Christopher Jasperro Oct 2024

An All-Hazards Approach To Us Military Base Camp Site Selection, Mark Corson, Christopher Jasperro

The Geographical Bulletin

Throughout history, military forces have built encampments and bases in hostile areas to defend and sustain themselves while on campaign. The predominant criteria for site selection were and continue to be tactical and logistical concerns. This article applies a geographic perspective to US military base camp site selection in contingency operations such as Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, or Afghanistan. In particular, it argues that an all-hazards approach should be employed in the site selection process, and that the all-hazards approach be an integral part of the planning phase of base camp development and emerging site selection doctrine. This project begins with …


The Effects Of Pacific Oscillations On Snowpack In The Rattlesnake Creek Drainage, Western Montana, Deana Dewire Oct 2024

The Effects Of Pacific Oscillations On Snowpack In The Rattlesnake Creek Drainage, Western Montana, Deana Dewire

The Geographical Bulletin

Snow is an important water resource for communities throughout the western United States. In western Montana, 62% of annual precipitation falls as snow. Recent research suggests there is an inverse relationship between Northern Rockies snowpack and El Niño and between Northern Rockies snowpack and the positive phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a realization that could benefit the communities and industries throughout the West that depend on snowmelt for their water needs. This research uses linear regression statistics to test if a correlation exists between ENSO or PDO and April 1 snowpack at the headwaters of the Rattlesnake Creek in …


Safety First: Unpacking Key Roles Of Arctic Adventure Guides, Barbara Olga Hild, Betty Weiler Professor Oct 2024

Safety First: Unpacking Key Roles Of Arctic Adventure Guides, Barbara Olga Hild, Betty Weiler Professor

International Journal of Tour Guiding and Visitor Attraction Research

Building on past research on tour guides and guiding, this paper provides an in-depth examination of the safety management role of tour guides leading adventure trips. A review of previous literature identifies broad dimensions of tour guiding and, within these dimensions, specific guiding roles mainly in relation to communication. The current study’s qualitative examination of experienced Arctic guides, however, illustrates how environmental conditions contribute to near misses and points to safety management as an adventure guide’s fundamental role. The findings highlight the need for guide competence and certification and underpin recommendations for research in relation to guide education and practices …

Reel Racing: The Geography Of The United States Lawn Mower Racing Association, H. Jason Combs Oct 2024

Reel Racing: The Geography Of The United States Lawn Mower Racing Association, H. Jason Combs

The Geographical Bulletin

The United States Lawn Mower Racing Association (USLMRA) formed on April Fools’ Day 1992 and now has approximately 500 members and a national racing circuit. This paper examines the geography of the USLMRA as well as the reasons for its expansion. Professional lawn mower racing’s popularity is somewhat in response to NASCAR’s commercialization and nationalization efforts. Lawn mower racing is more affordable than stock car racing and provides an outlet for many adrenaline-enriched and mechanically inclined individuals. The national circuit runs through traditional stock car country—from Texas and Florida to Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio. The majority of USLMRA members and …

Ecological Marginalization And Hill Tribe Security In Northern Thailand, Richard A. Crooker Oct 2024

Ecological Marginalization And Hill Tribe Security In Northern Thailand, Richard A. Crooker

The Geographical Bulletin

In recent decades, Thai elites have ecologically marginalized hill tribe farmers in northern Thailand. A region-wide population boom has fueled a ‘land grab’ by the elites and forced hill tribe farmers to live on less land with few off-farm options. The marginalized farmers are less secure in their livelihoods, and as a result, there has been conflict over resources between them and governmental authorities and ethnic Thais. This paper analyzes the hill tribes’ marginalization in order to assess the risk of heightened social conflict in the region. I chose hill tribe villages in the Mae Sa Valley as a “best-case” …


Environment And Security Conflicts: The U.S. Military In Okinawa, Jonathan Taylor Oct 2024

Environment And Security Conflicts: The U.S. Military In Okinawa, Jonathan Taylor

The Geographical Bulletin

This paper explores the effects of ongoing environmental issues related to U.S. military bases in Okinawa. Okinawa’s history, particularly the damage it suffered during World War II has led to an active anti-military movement on the island. The U.S. bases exist in a context of anti-military and environmental movements which seek to dislodge the bases from their current location. At the same time the U.S. military bases have had both direct and indirect effects upon Okinawa’s environment: some positive, though many negative. Some steps the U.S. military could take to lessen its environmental impacts upon Okinawa are suggested.
