The Journey, Dawn J. Wright
The Journey, Dawn J. Wright
The Geographical Bulletin
While I’m an oceanographer first and foremost, I do have formal training in (physical) geography and terrestrial geology. And this background has allowed me to achieve some pretty neat things, especially so considering I’m a Black American female scientist. I’m pretty modest when it comes to tooting my own horn, but when hard work pays off, being acknowledged can be refreshing. I’ve been to bottom of the ocean. I’ve mapped the ocean floor. Well, a lot of it – but in 3D – and we’ll hopefully have the entire seafloor mapped by 2030. But accomplishments aside, I’d like to give …
Modeling The Risk And Potential Spread Of The Asian Long-Horned Beetle In Southeast Michigan, Stephanie Carr, Rudy Bartels, Lisa Dechano-Cook, Diana Casey
Modeling The Risk And Potential Spread Of The Asian Long-Horned Beetle In Southeast Michigan, Stephanie Carr, Rudy Bartels, Lisa Dechano-Cook, Diana Casey
The Geographical Bulletin
The Asian long-horned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) infestation has been an ongoing problem for the Midwest, Northeast, and parts of the South contiguous United States. The purpose of this project is to identify the currently infested areas and to create a potential spread map for counties in Michigan nearest to the Ohio infestation. There is a strong probability that infestations will spread into Michigan. The climate is ideal for the beetle and Michigan’s native tree species, the sugar maple, is its preferred host. Michigan’s most susceptible counties are Monroe, Washtenaw, and Wayne. The potential destruction of Michigan’s maple trees could significantly …

All The World’S A Stage: Aesthetics, Competing Stories And Slum Clearance In Delhi, India, Richard Wolfel
All The World’S A Stage: Aesthetics, Competing Stories And Slum Clearance In Delhi, India, Richard Wolfel
The Geographical Bulletin
The rise of the modern commercial political-economic system is influencing rural to urban migration in addition to urban morphology. Slum settlements are one of the major results of rapid and often unregulated rural to urban migration. Slum settlements create a major problem for developing cities. The slum settlements do not fit the leadership’s vision for a modern city, one that can be marketed to outside businesses and organizations for investment. As a result they are often seen as a nuisance by the leadership and targeted for destruction, especially when the land of the slum is valuable. The process of slum …
Student Cyclists Experience Pm2.5 Pollution Hotspots Around An Urban University Campus, Brett W. Luce, Tate E. Barrett, Alexandra G. Ponette-González
Student Cyclists Experience Pm2.5 Pollution Hotspots Around An Urban University Campus, Brett W. Luce, Tate E. Barrett, Alexandra G. Ponette-González
The Geographical Bulletin
Although cycling has environmental and health benefits, urban cyclists are at risk of exposure to harmful concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). We used a low-cost particle sensor and MapMyRide to collect geolocated 1-minute PM2.5 measurements along four routes surrounding an urban university campus. Measurements were collected from 7:30-9:30 AM during fall 2017 and spring 2018. We found no significant differences in ride-averaged PM2.5 concentrations among routes, but all routes experienced higher concentrations when winds blew from the southeast-south-southwest. Hotspots, areas with consistently elevated PM2.5 concentrations compared to surrounding areas, were detected along all routes in areas with high traffic …
Thinking Beyond The Plastic Bag Ban: Reusable Bag Habits And Motivators In Athens, Ohio, Jessica Dalzell, Amy J. Lynch
Thinking Beyond The Plastic Bag Ban: Reusable Bag Habits And Motivators In Athens, Ohio, Jessica Dalzell, Amy J. Lynch
The Geographical Bulletin
Despite a growing awareness of the environmental impacts of plastic bags, more states have prohibited disposable bag restrictions than have passed them. In such communities, voluntary actions that shift bag habits from disposable to reusable remain promising. Yet research on reusable bags, and the social geographies of waste reduction, more broadly, lags behind that of other aspects of waste management. This study addresses that gap by examining the reusable bag habits and motivations of residents of Athens, Ohio. It accomplishes this through a survey of Athens residents, complemented by observations at local grocery retailers. Results suggest that most residents own …
The Geography Of Coins: Culture, Politics, And Power Depicted On Money, Cory Frewing
The Geography Of Coins: Culture, Politics, And Power Depicted On Money, Cory Frewing
The Geographical Bulletin
Coins have a language of their own, and governments speak it fluently. This paper discusses the role that coins play in State iconography. As such, coinage can be utilized for pursuing nationalistic ambitions and other centripetal forces that strengthen a State. Likewise, coins can also act as preservers and conveyers of national culture. Religion, language, values, and history have all been prominent subjects on coins from around the world since the Classical Era. Aside from imagery, coins are also products of spatial association, owing their current preponderance to many forms of cultural diffusion. This paper first describes contemporary, circulating world …

Choosing Your Perspective: Finding Adventure In The Middle Of A Crisis, Casey D. Allen, Kaelin M. Groom
Choosing Your Perspective: Finding Adventure In The Middle Of A Crisis, Casey D. Allen, Kaelin M. Groom
The Geographical Bulletin
We arrived in Jordan late August 2019 for Kaelin’s, postdoctoral Fulbright research fellowship: an historical repeat assessment of Petra over the last century. This was not our f irst experience living abroad, having been stationed in Amman (Jordan) a few years previous for my own Fulbright, and subsequently being based in Barbados. In fact, after our first time living in Jordan, we ended up returning on multiple occasions to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team conducting research in Wadi Rum. Jordan is an amazing country with the most hospitable and genuine people we have ever encountered in our somewhat extensive travels, …
Thinking Continental: Writing The Planet One Place At A Time, James E. Baker
Thinking Continental: Writing The Planet One Place At A Time, James E. Baker
The Geographical Bulletin
“Every place,” concludes the introduction of Thinking Continental, “however nondescript and seemingly secluded and provincial, is marked with the traces of the entire planet’s becoming.” The ambition of this volume – assembled by established professors of English literature and practitioners of environmental writing – is to “write the endangered worlds” of the Anthropocene, inscribing a sense of place within a sense of planet (Lynch et al. 2017, xiv). This clarion call comes at a time of freighted global discourse over “planetarian interests” which bioregionalist Peter Berg argues are no less critical than the “ongoing mutual inhabitation of this planet” (Lynch …
An Exploratory Spatial Analysis Of The Urban Crime Environment Around The Next National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency West Development, Tara A. Smith, J.S. Onésimo (Ness) Sandoval
An Exploratory Spatial Analysis Of The Urban Crime Environment Around The Next National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency West Development, Tara A. Smith, J.S. Onésimo (Ness) Sandoval
The Geographical Bulletin
The current study provides a baseline, exploratory spatiotemporal analysis of violent and property crimes around the Next National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) West (NNW) development during the pre- and post-demolition periods. Five, 500-meter concentric buffers were created around the NNW site. The geographic distributions and spatial patterns of crime were statistically measured during the pre- and postdemolition periods. We observed that during the post-demolition phase, crime became more concentrated and existing crime hot spots intensified. Crime within the NNW footprint dissolved, but it remained the same in the directly adjacent buffer while the farthest buffer saw higher crime levels. The observations …
Nebraska’S Medicaid Expansion: An Interesting Rural-Urban Divide, H. Jason Combs, Paul R. Burger
Nebraska’S Medicaid Expansion: An Interesting Rural-Urban Divide, H. Jason Combs, Paul R. Burger
The Geographical Bulletin
Initially established in 1965, Medicaid was expanded in 2010 to include the working poor. The U.S. Supreme Court in 2012, however, ruled that the provision of the Affordable Care Act requiring states to expand Medicaid was unconstitutional. This made it a state option whether or not to expand Medicaid. In Nebraska, the approved expansion is projected to cover approximately 90,000 Nebraskans who are 19 to 64 years of age with annual incomes 138 percent of federal poverty level. In conjunction with current Medicaid expenses, expansion is expected to make the program the second largest general fund appropriation in the state. …
The Green Cabin Prehistoric Metarhyolite Quarry Site (36ad0569), South Mountain, Pennsylvania, Paul Marr
The Green Cabin Prehistoric Metarhyolite Quarry Site (36ad0569), South Mountain, Pennsylvania, Paul Marr
The Geographical Bulletin
Metarhyolite found on South Mountain in south-central Pennsylvania was an important raw material for stone tool manufacturing from the late Archaic to middle Woodland periods (6800 BP – 1000 BP). In the mid-Atlantic region metarhyolite appears to have been used to the near exclusion of other materials during the Transitional Period (4850 BP – 2800 BP) and was traded extensively. Our current theory suggests that quarries on South Mountain were dug to access unweathered metarhyolite which would then be removed from the upper C-horizon, since surface material weathers rather quickly. This material is most easily accessed on the ridgetops where …

Rice Growing Environment Of The Ibagué Belt, Colombia: An Ecological Study At The Geotope Scale, Alexander Martínez Rivillas, William Barragán Zaque
Rice Growing Environment Of The Ibagué Belt, Colombia: An Ecological Study At The Geotope Scale, Alexander Martínez Rivillas, William Barragán Zaque
The Geographical Bulletin
Based on the biophysical and socioecological primary information collected and analyzed by the authors in two geotopes of the rice growing area of the Ibague region (Colombia, south America), an ecological study of the rice landscape is offered by means of using the GTP method (Geosystem, Territory, and Landscape) of Bertrand. We aspire to obtain an integrated vision of this environment on the scale of geotopos. It is shown that these spatial units can support a study of an “environmental landscape” inspired by Bertrand’s epistemology. T he research applies the principles of the GTP, traditionally conceived for the study of …

Ritual And Research: Notes From The Field, Sophie C. Williams
Ritual And Research: Notes From The Field, Sophie C. Williams
The Geographical Bulletin
Arrival on South Water Caye. The words “beautiful tropical paradise” describe it perfectly. I believe its geography suits my project well. Seagrass covers the west facing shore of the island. Facing east, the water is shallow on the northern edge and becomes much deeper as the shoreline progresses south. Patch reef flats fill this area and become larger and deeper further out to sea. The island’s southernmost point is best for this study. Here, shallow offshore seagrass is gradually populated by patch reefs, and there is low variation in depth. T he island’s terrestrial surface is covered with Coconut palm …
Learning Regional Geography Behind The Iron Curtain, Jeffrey D. Hamerlinck
Learning Regional Geography Behind The Iron Curtain, Jeffrey D. Hamerlinck
The Geographical Bulletin
This essay recounts the author’s 1987 Cold War-era adventure in the Soviet Union as a young geography student participating in Dr. William Dando’s instructor-led Soviet regional geography course at the University of North Dakota. Focused on historical military geography, the trip included visits to Moscow and Leningrad as well as the port of Murmansk above the Arctic Circle on the Kola Peninsula. The trip’s influence on the author’s career as well as his own field course teaching are discussed.
Living In Grass Houses – Fieldwork In Papua New Guinea, Colin Pain
Living In Grass Houses – Fieldwork In Papua New Guinea, Colin Pain
The Geographical Bulletin
I was raised on a farm so at an early age I was tending stock, building fences, and all the other things involved in running a farm. There is nothing like digging post holes along a new fence line to get you interested in soils. I was thus in the field long before I learnt about geography. Fieldwork is important for geographers for at least two reasons. First, it provides the basic spatial data for testing hypotheses, and is the basis for many of the data manipulations now allowed by remote sensing and geographic information systems. Second, at least in …
Great Smoky Geography, Ryan P. Shadbolt
Great Smoky Geography, Ryan P. Shadbolt
The Geographical Bulletin
In 2005 my life changed unexpectedly during a field experience to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). Professor Jay R. Harman, a faculty member within the Department of Geography at Michigan State University, organized the experience frequently over a career spanning more than four decades. As an introverted first-generation college student from a rural blue-collar town, attending this trip was out of my comfort zone. I recently completed a bachelor’s program in meteorology and research during my master’s program focused on synoptic-scale climatology. Until then my travel to na
Reminiscences Of Papua New Guinea, Russell Blong
Reminiscences Of Papua New Guinea, Russell Blong
The Geographical Bulletin
Editor’s Note: While Dr. Blong’s previous article in this special issue outlines his more scholarly pursuits while in Papua New Guinea alongside a few very short anecdotal “field tales”, one of the items reviewers suggested was more depth and detail of those “field tales” he briefly touches on throughout the essay. Rather than tack-on these short happenings to the main article, and to address the reviewers’ desires, I asked Russell to compile a set of less academic field tales. The result is below, based on his many visits to PNG from 1970s-2000s, some of which he shared with Colin Pain …
“It’S Volcanic Ash!” A Response That Began A 50-Year Odyssey, Russell Blong
“It’S Volcanic Ash!” A Response That Began A 50-Year Odyssey, Russell Blong
The Geographical Bulletin
At the beginning of 1970 I had more or less finished my University of Sydney PhD on hillslope form and landslides in a chunk of New Zealand hill country. I was unsure what I wanted to work on next but I was pretty sure it wasn’t landslides and hillslopes. I joined the academic staff at Macquarie University, also in Sydney. In August 1970 I went to an ANZAAS conference in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, gave an excruciatingly boring paper on hillslope form and caught up with Colin Pain, an old mate from my undergraduate days at the University of …
Treating Invasive Tamarisk As An Intern At San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, Aaron Adams
Treating Invasive Tamarisk As An Intern At San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, Aaron Adams
The Geographical Bulletin
Tamarisk (also known as salt cedar) is mentioned once in the Quran, “There was for [the tribe of] Saba’ in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], “Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord. “But they turned away [refusing], so We sent upon them the flood of the dam, and We replaced their two [fields of] gardens with gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees. (Surah 34, Āyah 15,16)” (The …
The Forest And I: A Study In Surprise, Tyra A. Olstad
The Forest And I: A Study In Surprise, Tyra A. Olstad
The Geographical Bulletin
Although geographers are usually taught to plan and conduct research carefully and systematically in order to achieve meaningful, legitimate results, fieldwork often opens up unanticipated and insightful experiences. Sometimes, the most meaningful findings are those that are wholly unplanned for and only achievable by letting go of expectations and soaking in a place firsthand. This essay discusses the author’s evolution as a scholar, involving a series of place-based revelations leading from the open, arid plains and prairies of northeastern Arizona to the cold, rainy, wholly surprising temperate rainforest of southeast Alaska. In so doing, it is not a model blueprint …
Roots Of A Career: Finding Direction In The Mangrove Swamps Of Campeche, Mexico, Jordan R. Cissell
Roots Of A Career: Finding Direction In The Mangrove Swamps Of Campeche, Mexico, Jordan R. Cissell
The Geographical Bulletin
As a human-environment geographer, it is both my vocation and my privilege to explore the alchemical interactions of people and place. Every time I return to the field, I am inspired by the limitless ways in which the two come together to form landscapes of both professional and personal stimulation. T hrough geographical fieldwork, I have had the fortune to rank Alan Jackson songs with a Maya craftsman in the shadow of Volcán de Agua in Antigua Guatemala; leap into the turquoise waters of the Belize Barrier Reef with veteran conch fishermen to escape a swarm of Africanized bees; and …
