Forging A Career In Hazards Research: Gilbert White’S Influence, Burrell Montz
Forging A Career In Hazards Research: Gilbert White’S Influence, Burrell Montz
The Geographical Bulletin
I discovered Geography while at Mary Washington College (now the University of Mary Washington) in 1969 – long, long ago. Having no idea what I wanted to major in, I happened into a geography class that I absolutely loved, and that was it. At the time, I had no idea where it would lead me. After my undergraduate days, I went to Oklahoma State University for my Masters’ degree. I wish I could say that I had researched numerous MS programs and chose Oklahoma State. However, it was the only program to which I applied, chosen because it offered an …
Geographers As Higher Education Leaders In A Post Covid Environment, M. Duane Nellis
Geographers As Higher Education Leaders In A Post Covid Environment, M. Duane Nellis
The Geographical Bulletin
Higher education leaders in the post COVID environment are faced with ever increasing pressures related to enrollment volatility, demands for new learning paradigms including the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), cost efficiency expectations, and more dramatic external forces and political scrutiny. The complexity of pressures facing higher education leaders is making it more and more challenging to have longer term tenures in top level leadership roles. At the same time undergraduate and graduate students aspiring to have careers in higher education should realize that geographers, based on the core aspects of their discipline and my experiences over many years as …

Dr. Geographer Or: How I Learned To Think Spatially And Love Maps, Randy Bertolas
The Geographical Bulletin
Most people measure their lives by time. How much, how long, how soon it will be over. I always think of life in terms of space and place. How to get to some place, how long a distance to that place, what it will be like at that place when I disembark. There are many reasons for approaching and entering the field of geography. Few of us can pinpoint the moment our love for geography began. I can. It was the day someone gave me a map.

Transforming The Applied Learning Experience Through Interdisciplinary Fieldwork, Dawn M. Drake, Ashley Elias, Carissa Ganong, Michael L. Grantham, Mark S. Mills
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper introduces an interdisciplinary field research project undertaken by faculty at Missouri Western State University in an effort to improve student learning outcomes and enrich student experience. The project uses a single ecosystem, the nine human-built ponds on the campus, and combines five different faculty members’ areas of research across ecology, microbiology, and geography to immerse students in an interactive applied learning opportunity that not only helps them develop research skills, but also learn to present their research to a variety of audiences. The paper reviews the nature of the project, the conditions that allowed the project to emerge, …
Reflections On Fieldwork In Romania: Subjectivities, Risks, Benefits, And Ethics, Georgeta Stoian Connor
Reflections On Fieldwork In Romania: Subjectivities, Risks, Benefits, And Ethics, Georgeta Stoian Connor
The Geographical Bulletin
Romania, one of the largest and most ruralized Eastern European countries, has a very complex agrarian history: from the traditional free communal villages and serfdom to the communist collective farms, followed by the agricultural alignment to the Common Agricultural Policy. Because the European Union (EU) has had a preconceived vision of what a modern agricultural landscape should look like, when this vision has been implemented within Romania’s agricultural landscape, it has produced deeply contradictory outcomes. In this context, by examining the archive records and information from extended fieldwork in Romania, this study investigates how Romania’s efforts to join the EU …
Left Behind In Lockdown: Covid-19 And The Denver Unhoused Community, Lucy Briggs
Left Behind In Lockdown: Covid-19 And The Denver Unhoused Community, Lucy Briggs
The Geographical Bulletin
The population experiencing homelessness in Denver, Colorado, increased by nearly 15% from 2018 to 2019. This trend, combined with the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020, led to a distinct crisis for unhoused communities. This research attempted to answer the question, “How has COVID-19 impacted the locational strategies and spatial patterns of the Denver unhoused population in relation to public spaces and resources in the city core?” More specifically, this research has three objectives: (1) To explore the impact of COVID-19 on the shelter availability in Denver, (2) to develop an understanding of COVID-19’s impact upon public restrooms in Denver, and …

Reflecting On Interdisciplinary Trends In Artificial Reef Design, Monitoring, And Assessment In The Us Southeast: Insight From Recent Developments And Hope In The Restoring Resilient Reefs Act, Johnathan D. Johnson, Clayton J. Whitesides
The Geographical Bulletin
Although artificial reefs (Figs. 1 and 2) have long been the focus of biological and ecological research, “the economics and social impact of artificial reefs … have not been carefully examined” (Bohnsack and Sutherland 1985, 11). Since the time of that statement in the mid-1980s, we are pleased to report that much research on the economics and social impacts of artificial reefs has been published in the academic literature (e.g., Sutton and Bushnell 2007, Whitmarsh et al. 2008, Stolk, Markwell, and Jenkins 2009, and Islam et al. 2014).
An Overview Of Environmental Themes In The Video Game Industry, Michael A. Davis
An Overview Of Environmental Themes In The Video Game Industry, Michael A. Davis
The Geographical Bulletin
Video games of the early 1990s have an appreciable depth of environmental tones that seem prophetic by today’s standards as climate change and environmental degradation have emerged as significant topics of scientific and geographic inquiry. The political and cultural environment of the late 1980s and early 1990s played a significant role in the development of environmentally-minded video games. Since the 20th century, the depiction of these environmental themes have changed with a greater understanding of environmental science literature, have incorporated educational qualities to game play, and have migrated from large video game developers (e.g., Sega and Nintendo) to independent developers …

Defining Humanity In The Popular Imagination: The Neanderthal And The Early Modern Human In H.G. Wells And Yuval Noah Harari, Laurel Bayless
Defining Humanity In The Popular Imagination: The Neanderthal And The Early Modern Human In H.G. Wells And Yuval Noah Harari, Laurel Bayless
The Geographical Bulletin
Popular depictions of Neanderthals place them in a liminal position between the human and nonhuman. Examination of how such depictions have changed over time reveals evolving and enduring ideas about humanity and nature. Descriptions of Neanderthals and the prehistoric anatomically modern humans who encountered them in Europe reveal the features their authors see as essential to humanity. Not only do authors project their contemporary ideas onto Neanderthals, but doing so but then naturalizes those ideas. H.G. Wells, one of the f irst popular writers to discuss Neanderthals, depicted Neanderthals as shambling, inhuman brutes, whereas he used colonial ideas about the …
Making Space For Yeast: Toward A Zymurpolitics, Walter W. Furness
Making Space For Yeast: Toward A Zymurpolitics, Walter W. Furness
The Geographical Bulletin
Geographic scholarship on craft brewing has characteristically fixated on place as a lens through which to understand and valuate ostensibly “local” beer, wherein fermentation acts as an alchemistic shorthand, transmuting far-flung ingredients into a product emphatically rooted in a particular location. However, yeast tends to receive little attention in this literature, even though it is a primary agent (alongside humans) in acting on raw materials to produce beer. Defying the notion of “hyperlocal,” yeast is frequently sourced from distant laboratories, though some breweries maintain their own cultures in-house. This paper draws on existing literature, observation, and interviews with brewers to …

From Mayberry To Merlot: Shifting Geographies Of Wine In The Yadkin Valley, North Carolina, Aron Massey
From Mayberry To Merlot: Shifting Geographies Of Wine In The Yadkin Valley, North Carolina, Aron Massey
The Geographical Bulletin
The Yadkin Valley of North Carolina is in a period of transition. Tobacco has been the most important crop, and the tourism to the region focused on Mt. Airy, inspiration for the fictional town of Mayberry. Local officials are promoting wine tourism as a tactic to update these industries. Through qualitative fieldwork utilizing in-depth interviews with Yadkin Valley winemakers, tourism officials, business leaders, and a Baptist preacher, this project reveals the numerous geographies of wine evolving together as the industry grows in this region. The paper discusses the physical environment suitable for producing high-quality wines from European grape styles and …

Exploring The Geographies Of Food, Fermentation, And Drink, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Mark W. Patterson
Exploring The Geographies Of Food, Fermentation, And Drink, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Mark W. Patterson
The Geographical Bulletin
Food is inherently geographic. So many of us enjoy the notion of eating locally with the farm to table movement, yet simultaneously relish in globalization that allows for ingredients from far off lands to exist on the shelves of our local grocery store. Food is in many ways a geographical construct, as it provides a sense of place by embodying the use of ingredients and flavors to communities and locales, social interactions, spatial experiences, and place identities. In many ways, food is embedded into the historical, economic, cultural, and political fabrics of society (Atkins and Bowler 2016).
Dining Out With Allergies: Examining Boston’S Allergy-Friendly Restaurant Landscape, Rebecca Marie Shakespeare
Dining Out With Allergies: Examining Boston’S Allergy-Friendly Restaurant Landscape, Rebecca Marie Shakespeare
The Geographical Bulletin
According to a recent national survey, about ten percent of American adults, estimated 26 million, are likely to have food allergies (Gupta, et al. 2019). Food allergies have many psychosocial outcomes for adults, including social isolation, anxiety, and loneliness. Framing restaurants as a site of social engagement, this article seeks to describe the restaurant landscape for adults with food allergies in Boston. Using online user reviews from TripAdvisor and AllergyEats to identify locations of restaurants with mostly positive allergy-related reviews, this paper uses GIS to assess the geographic accessibility of allergy-friendly restaurants for locations across Boston. Reported allergy-friendly restaurants tend …
Connecticut Avas: Exploring And Understanding Wine In The Nutmeg State, Forrest J. Bowlick, Katie Carroll Bowlick
Connecticut Avas: Exploring And Understanding Wine In The Nutmeg State, Forrest J. Bowlick, Katie Carroll Bowlick
The Geographical Bulletin
Exploring the 260 AVAs in the United States is an exciting journey in geographic variation. An under-explored area of interest is the Nutmeg State – Connecticut. Despite ranking in the bottom quarter of wine producing states, Connecticut’s wine geography is varied and nuanced. With three distinct AVAs, 79 bonded wineries, and hundreds of millions of dollars of estimated annual economic impact, wine in Connecticut deserves a deeper look. This essay reflects on the nature of wine production in Connecticut by reviewing the establishment of its three AVAs, considering the factors that went into their establishment by reviewing documentation from initial …
10 Miles From A Brewery: Population Demographics And Beer Consumption Patterns In The United States, Mark W. Patterson, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Winston S. Chu
10 Miles From A Brewery: Population Demographics And Beer Consumption Patterns In The United States, Mark W. Patterson, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Winston S. Chu
The Geographical Bulletin
The number of craft breweries in the United States has increased dramatically in the last few decades, with the Brewers Association (2021a) recognizing that “more than 80 percent of Americans live within 10 miles of a brewery.” However, little is known about the population geographies within – as well as outside of – these 10-mile buffers surrounding breweries. Using 10-mile drive distance polygons, various demographics and beer consumption patterns were established at both national (U.S.) and regional levels. Results validate the Brewers Association’s pronouncement at the national level but showcase unique regional patterns in population, median household economics, and beer …

Luck In The Life Of A Geographer, Yi-Fu Tuan
Luck In The Life Of A Geographer, Yi-Fu Tuan
The Geographical Bulletin
Luck plays a far greater role in our life than we are willing to acknowledge, for the obvious reason that it detracts from our role as agents. I, for one, used to see myself as planning my career path and then following it. Only now, in extreme old age, do I find the idea of that planned life untenable. Looking back, at critical points, it was not the wisdom of my planning, but rather happenstance that took me to the more fruitful way. Let me start with graduate school, a choice I had to make in my last year as …

The Deviant Geographer, Janice Monk, Casey D. Allen
The Geographical Bulletin
I’ve spent my life being a deviant. When I say that, I don’t necessarily mean in a delinquent sense (though that has been necessary at times). Rather, I mean I’ve always had to approach things differently. Things about your own life and background can help to shape and widen the ways in which we study, and how we see the world – even if you don’t realize it. For me, it was a combination of breaking my work-a-day upbringing cycle (I came from a working-class family and lived/grew-up in the Petersham suburb, west of downtown Sydney, Australia) and being the …
Deep In The Karst: Foundations For A Career In Geography, Michael F. Goodchild
Deep In The Karst: Foundations For A Career In Geography, Michael F. Goodchild
The Geographical Bulletin
In the last lines of his poem “In Praise of Limestone”, W.H. Auden wrote, “[W]hen I try to imagine a faultless love or the life to come, what I hear is the murmur of underground streams, what I see is a limestone landscape”. When I was 12, my family moved to two acres of land underlain by Devonian limestone in Paignton, county of Devon, southwest England. At age 15, I began exploring the local caves – small, tight, but beautifully decorated. Later, studying physics at Cambridge, I found the University’s caving club and spent many happy weekends in and under …
Revisiting Geomorphological Hotspots, Andrew Goudie
Revisiting Geomorphological Hotspots, Andrew Goudie
The Geographical Bulletin
In 1996, just a quarter of a century ago, I wrote a paper called “Geomorphological ‘hotspots’ and global warming” (Goudie 1996). My motivation to choose this theme, was that various biogeographers and ecologists, fearing loss of biodiversity due to human activities, had used the phrase “biodiversity hotspots” for those areas that may be of greatest significance because of their sensitivity and the richness (and endemicity) of their fauna and flora. A leader in this was a forester, Norman Myers, who had published an influential paper in 1992. T his made me wonder whether there were “geomorphological hotspots” where the environment …
Viral Worlds: Zika And Matter Of Global Health Futures, Deborah Dixon
Viral Worlds: Zika And Matter Of Global Health Futures, Deborah Dixon
The Geographical Bulletin
As a site for ‘cutting edge’ research, virology has a profoundly conservative genealogy, its promulgations on the origins of viral disease intimately wrapped in prognostications on the ending of human life. Since the late 19th century, a concern for the reach of pathogenic viral matter into human bodies has emerged as a deeply colonial project, with fears over the transformation of endemic diseases into epidemic ones conjoined with cautions of population decline in the colonies and disrupted trade routes. Colonial authorities in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America framed viral disease as a ‘public health’ problem – a problem …
Find Your Special Place, David R. Butler
Find Your Special Place, David R. Butler
The Geographical Bulletin
Geographers come in all varieties, but many of the best geographers study – and have found – their “special place”. I present examples of work over the course of my career in my special place, Glacier National Park, Montana. Finding your own special place will serve you well and hopefully carry you through the tough times that inevitably occur during (student) life. Geographers study places all over the world and beyond, as well as places in the imagination. We use a diversity of tools and methods in the process. Indeed, some geographers are known primarily as “methods” geographers associated with …
Geography, Exploration, And Metaphor, Carol Harden
Geography, Exploration, And Metaphor, Carol Harden
The Geographical Bulletin
Geography, as the study of the world and its many interrelated components, presents an enormous range of opportunities for exploration and discovery. Some explorations involve travel and physical activity while others occur in offices, archives, or focus groups. As a discipline that encompasses a large range of research topics and methods, geography attracts a diverse community, including individuals with multiple interests. Although developing and maintaining focus is necessary for increasing expertise and authority, having a broader view gives us more perspectives to draw from and, often, facilitates new insights into causal relationships among seemingly disparate elements of our worlds. The …

Lithological And Geotechnical Characterization Of Casablanca’S Urban Subsoil, Morocco, Imane Fahi, Fouad El Kamel, Toufik Remmal, Halima Jounaid, Fouad Amraoui, Houssine Ejjaouani
The Geographical Bulletin
Morocco’s largest city, Casablanca, is expanding rapidly, but geotechnical characteristics related to the region’s subsoil are rarely taken into consideration during construction/building projects. Using field studies, along with a significant database established from civil-engineering work, this study focuses on the lithological and mechanical characterization/behavior of Casablanca’s subsoil in order to gain a clearer interpretation of Casablanca’s (sub)soil. Lithology maps and cross-sections show the variation of Quaternary cover thickness, which is controlled by the shape of the synclines and anticlines in the folded Paleozoic bedrock. The texture of surface soils was described by percentage of gravel, sand, silt, tuff, and clay, …
