Late Holocene Coastal And Estuarine Environments Of The Shanghai Area, People's Republic Of China, Li Jinan, Yan Qinshang Feb 2025

Late Holocene Coastal And Estuarine Environments Of The Shanghai Area, People's Republic Of China, Li Jinan, Yan Qinshang

The Geographical Bulletin

Four major sedimentary environments have been identified in the Shanghai area which were deposited over the past 7,000 years, 3 to 20 meters above a Pleistocene basal clay. These are marsh, lagoon, recurved spit and tidal flat. The morphology west of Shanghai is a fresh water marsh since it was not transgressed by rising Holocene sea levels. In the central area, a recurved spit and lagoon had developed from 6,500 years B.P. to 3,500 years B.P. However, the tidal flat has characterized coastal sedimentation in the eastern part of Shanghai since 3,000 years B.P.


Thematic Innovation On The North American Colonial Frontier: Comparisons Of The Four Historic Maps Of Fort Michilimackinac, Michigan 1749-1769, Richard Alan Sambrook Feb 2025

Thematic Innovation On The North American Colonial Frontier: Comparisons Of The Four Historic Maps Of Fort Michilimackinac, Michigan 1749-1769, Richard Alan Sambrook

The Geographical Bulletin

To date, four historic maps of Fort Michilimackinac, Michigan are recognized: de Lotbiniere's Plan and Description (1749), the Magra Map (1766), the Nordberg Map (1769), and the Crown Collection Map (circa 1766-1769). These maps are all different in a number of important map features, including scale, style, technique, and portrayal of the type and detail of information included on the map, especially the accuracy of the location and size of structures within the fort. This paper also demonstrates the wealth of social, cultural and architectural information contained within the four existing historic maps. In conjunction these maps have both aided …


Planning With Place: Sense Of Place In Berlin, New Hampshire, Brooks Preston Feb 2025

Planning With Place: Sense Of Place In Berlin, New Hampshire, Brooks Preston

The Geographical Bulletin

This study applies a phenomenological framework to the study of place in Berlin, New Hampshire. The results of Berlin's efforts to identify sense of place are compared with the findings generated by a phenomenological approach to the study of place. It is shown that the attributes and qualities of place that are most important to the people of Berlin are mentioned in the phenomenological interviews but sometimes overlooked or misinterpreted by the city's efforts. Sense of place is not embodied purely in the landscape or heritage, but exists in the minds of the people. Sense of place is a dynamic …


Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. The Good Fortune Of Being A Geographer, Charles F. Gritzner Feb 2025

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. The Good Fortune Of Being A Geographer, Charles F. Gritzner

The Geographical Bulletin

How refreshing it is to see this brief and very upbeat reference to being a geographer in "Notes from Ptolemy" (January 1992 AAG Newsletter). Extremely fortunate we are indeed to be geographers! Being a geographer and " doing geography" are challenging, meaningful, satisfying, and fun. Geographic knowledge can be a marvelous source of intrinsic satisfaction; increasingly it also can offer substantial vocational rewards. During most of more than three decades in academe, an aura of gloom and doom prevailed for all but a select few young students aspiring to become geographers. Employment opportunities were sparse. Geography languished in the elementary …

Climatic Trends And Variability During Winter And Summer In Central Montana, Elizabeth G. Lowell, Philip W. Suckling Feb 2025

Climatic Trends And Variability During Winter And Summer In Central Montana, Elizabeth G. Lowell, Philip W. Suckling

The Geographical Bulletin

Seasonal values of maximum temperature, minimum temperature and precipitation were examined in a study of climatic trends and variability for winter and summer in central Montana. Regional trends for the three climatic elements were graphed for the period 1949- 1986. A Student's T-test was utilized in order to detect significant changes. For winter, temperature declined significantly from the 1960s into the 1970s while snowfall increased slightly followed by a slight decrease during the 1980s. For summer, although maximum temperatures were significantly cooler during the 1950s, very little change in temperatures generally occurred. Although rainfall fluctuations were observed, no distinct trends …

Terrain Influences On Total Length Of Snow-Avalanche Paths In Southern Glacier National Park, Montana, Jay K. Gao Feb 2025

Terrain Influences On Total Length Of Snow-Avalanche Paths In Southern Glacier National Park, Montana, Jay K. Gao

The Geographical Bulletin

This research was designed to determine the impact of topographic variables on the total length of avalanche chutes in southern Glacier National Park, Montana. Seventy-eight snow avalanche paths were manually interpreted from aerial photographs within the study area, and their outlines were delineated on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps with a scale of 1 :24,000. Terrain variables were either measured directly from the maps or derived from the original ones. Terrain parameters were first analyzed by using the descriptive statistical method. Total path length was then regressed against the independent variables elevation, orientation, and slope gradient. We found that: (a) …


Gravestone Landscape Evolution Of A Japanese Rural Community, Tadashi Nakagawa Feb 2025

Gravestone Landscape Evolution Of A Japanese Rural Community, Tadashi Nakagawa

The Geographical Bulletin

Quantitative and chronological examination of 99 gravestones of four cemeteries in a rural community northeast of Tokyo reveals the effectiveness of gravestone study in reconstructing historical geography of Japanese rural villages. Temporal patterns of gravestone inscription, the number of bases and such design elements as vases, water holders, and incense burners clearly show the changing styles and values toward burial customs, economic conditions, and some aspects of family units.


Spatial Variation In Poverty Levels Within The Lower Mississippi Delta Development Region, Wendy Shaw Feb 2025

Spatial Variation In Poverty Levels Within The Lower Mississippi Delta Development Region, Wendy Shaw

The Geographical Bulletin

In 1988 a Senate bill established the Lower Mississippi Delta Development Commission, whose stated purpose was to address the poverty of the region. The region identified spanned seven states and included 187 counties, and was said to share economic, social, and cultural ties. While some underlying similarities may exist in the region, the manner in which poverty manifests itself is differentiated spatially, and the region is far from homogeneous. Variations with respect to the national average in per capita income, percentage of families below the poverty level, rate of high school graduation, and unemployment rate were examined and mapped. A …


Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. The Changing Importance Of College And University Teaching: The 1960s Versus The 1990s, James O. Wheeler (University Of Georgia), James O. Wheeler Feb 2025

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. The Changing Importance Of College And University Teaching: The 1960s Versus The 1990s, James O. Wheeler (University Of Georgia), James O. Wheeler

The Geographical Bulletin

Approximately thirty years ago, when I was just starting graduate school in geography, one of the first impressions I gained was the low priority accorded teaching. The emphasis, instead, was on research. The attitude was that anyone could teach but not everyone could do hotshot research. In fact, I got the impression that professors who were so wrapped up in research that their lectures were disorganized and confused were admired more than professors who did little or no research but whose lectures were superb. (There were, of course, inexplicably, those rare professors who did both remarkably well.) In general, poorly …

Spatial Variation In Tourism In The United States: An Industrial View, Chad Meadows, Keith Debbage Feb 2025

Spatial Variation In Tourism In The United States: An Industrial View, Chad Meadows, Keith Debbage

The Geographical Bulletin

This paper attempts to empirically document the spatial variations in employment and revenue for selected businesses in the tourism industries of 20 states under study. Employment and revenue figures were classified by US Census SIC codes, and separated into two classifications : direct and supporting tourist services. In states with large economies, a diversified economic base frequently minimizes tourism's proportional importance to statewide service economy employment; however, in many states with small economic and population bases, tourism employment made a significant proportional contribution to the service labor market. States with large economies have high absolute revenue in both the direct …

The Active Voice: One Key To More Effective Geographic Writing, Michael D. Sublett Feb 2025

The Active Voice: One Key To More Effective Geographic Writing, Michael D. Sublett

The Geographical Bulletin

Despite admonitions from grammarians, journal editors, and conference program chairs, many geographers apparently either know not or care not about the advantages of choosing the forceful active voice over the feeble, often anonymous, passive voice. Paired examples of (1) previously published sentences, from geographic sources, containing at least one passive expression and (2) my revisions of the same sentences provide herein illustrative material for authors wishing to activate their prose.


An Economic Location Model For Texas Wineries, Mary Luanne Napton, Darrell E. Napton, James D. Harrison Feb 2025

An Economic Location Model For Texas Wineries, Mary Luanne Napton, Darrell E. Napton, James D. Harrison

The Geographical Bulletin

Sunbelt migration and increased per capita wine consumption have stimulated the opening of 27 new wineries in Texas since 1976. Choosing the location of a winery is one of the vintner's most important decisions. A survey of vintners provided a ranking of locational criteria that was used to develop an economic locational model of winery location. A preliminary model was tested and discarded in favor of a more narrowly defined model. Critical marketing locational criteria included proximity to tourist areas, access to grapes, distance from urban areas, access to an interstate highway, and severity of county alcohol laws.


Changing Rural Settlement Patterns In New Pudong Development Area, Shanghai, People's Republic Of China, Gu Qilin Feb 2025

Changing Rural Settlement Patterns In New Pudong Development Area, Shanghai, People's Republic Of China, Gu Qilin

The Geographical Bulletin

The delta region on the south bank of the Yangtze River displays a diversity of urban/rural settlement patterns. The area, referred to as the New Pudong Development Area, includes belt or linear settlement patterns parallel to artificial dikes and rivers, as well as clustered settlements which occur further inland. The more diverse settlements are most often associated with administrative centers within the town. To the west, extended urbanization related to the expansion of Shanghai is impacting the rural landscape. Urban land uses are replacing rural land uses. Settlement types are identified and a classification is proposed. These types are Belt, …


Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. The Geographer's Role In The Solution Of Environmental Problems: An Invitation, Arthur A. Davis Feb 2025

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. The Geographer's Role In The Solution Of Environmental Problems: An Invitation, Arthur A. Davis

The Geographical Bulletin

I have a story for engineers, and one for economists, and of course, one for lawyers; but I do not have a story for geographers. I do have a strong admiration for the profession, however, for the sweep of its concerns and the inclusivity of its perspectives. Years ago I worked briefly with Gilbert White on some water resource policy, and much admired his ability to relate the natural world with human demands on it. His ideas certainly challenged some conventional whims. I recall the furor he created when he suggested that the water needs of Chicago could be met …

The Multifaceted Impact Of The Covid-19 Pandemic On Perceptions Of Overall Health, Krystal Robinson, Grace Godfrey, Jacob Godfrey, Carissa Salamatin, Renee Chang, Payson Broome, Dominique Gillette, Kevin Tarrio, Sherli Koshy-Chenthittayil, Karen Duus

Annual Research Symposium

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a “state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Previous studies have indicated both mental health and overall physical health can decline due to heightened sedentary behavior. This project investigates these concepts further by analyzing individual’s perceptions of their overall physical and mental health during the pandemic using Qualtrics and R. Participants aged 18 and older (n > 200) provided pre- and post-quarantine data with subgroup comparisons by gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, residence, and coping mechanisms. Initial results revealed a significant decline in …
