Adapting To Drought And Floods In The Semi-Arid Landscape Of Santa Cruz County, Arizona, Cynthia L. Sorrensen
Adapting To Drought And Floods In The Semi-Arid Landscape Of Santa Cruz County, Arizona, Cynthia L. Sorrensen
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper analyzes the actions of key interest groups and major institutional regulatory agreements that influence land use change and water demand in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, in order to better understand the capacity of residents in the county to adapt to hydroclimatic hazards (drought and flooding). We found that there are strong special interest groups working in the region to ensure their own livelihoods and interests. At times, the actions of these groups enhance the adaptive capacity of the county, but their actions can also conflict with each other, producing a less-clear outcome for adaptation. We also note that …

Geographer At Work: Frank Salmon, Gis Manager, Leon Yacher
The Geographical Bulletin
Frank Salmon remembers to the day when he decided Geography was going to be his career. Frank had just taken his seat before his first Geography final exam at Gateway Community Technical College when the professor announced to the class that “any of you who liked this course and want to pursue this as a major at Southern Connecticut State, I will guarantee that you will have a career when you graduate.” Not that Frank really needed this persuasion; he had loved Geography since he was a child. This first Geography class simply articulated for him what he now believes …
Adaptation To The Effects Of Suburbanization And Drought In Central Massachusetts, Troy Hill, Colin Polsky
Adaptation To The Effects Of Suburbanization And Drought In Central Massachusetts, Troy Hill, Colin Polsky
The Geographical Bulletin
Central Massachusetts receives more than 1100 mm of precipitation each year on average, with little inter-annual variation. Despite this, water supply shortfalls have become increasingly common, demanding responses (adaptations) from community water systems. This paper examines the process of adapting to drought in a ten-town study area. A grounded theory approach to data collection and analysis was used. Methods consisted of archival work and interviews, which investigated how structural and agent-based forces affect adaptation to drought. Suburbanization revealed itself as a major stress on water systems, jeopardizing and complicating efforts to adjust to water shortages. Structural forces and local actors …
Water Woes: Structure And Agency Influences On Adaptive Capacity In Southwest Kansas, Rorik Ford Peterson
Water Woes: Structure And Agency Influences On Adaptive Capacity In Southwest Kansas, Rorik Ford Peterson
The Geographical Bulletin
Concerns over the continual reduction of available groundwater in southwest Kansas have been increasing. This concern is compounded by the high dependence on irrigated agriculture and the related agribusiness industry, which is a staple to the regional economy and employs a large labor force. Future climate variation may enhance the sensitivity of the region to limited water availability. Through archival research and interviews, this study examines the impact of both structural forces (such as policy makers and legal bodies) and individual agents (local farmers, ranchers, and other citizens) on the capacity of southwest Kansas to adapt to climate variation. Although …

Latitude And The Magnetic Earth, By Stephen Pumfrey, Richard Earl
Latitude And The Magnetic Earth, By Stephen Pumfrey, Richard Earl
The Geographical Bulletin
The Earth location scheme based upon spherical coordinates, known as latitude and longitude, was developed by the Greeks over two thousand years ago (National Geographic Society 1999). This system was applied and expanded to include arc minutes and seconds to the gazetteer and maps generated by Ptolemy (ca. 90-168 AD) (Wilford 2001). Accurately determining latitude and longitude has been a focus of geographic inquiry ever since, spanning the technological realm from protractors to the Global Positioning System. Reasonably accurate latitude determination was mastered by the ancient Greeks from solar angle measurements, but the determination of longitude took much longer. Longitude, …
Predicting Attendance At Southeastern U.S.A Musement Parks Using Accessibility- And Amenity-Based Models, James Andrew Mccall, Joe Weber
Predicting Attendance At Southeastern U.S.A Musement Parks Using Accessibility- And Amenity-Based Models, James Andrew Mccall, Joe Weber
The Geographical Bulletin
This research examines the extent to which traditional geographic concepts of proximity can explain attendance to amusement parks in the Southeastern United States. Accessibility models were calculated for nineteen parks using both miles and driving times as measures of distance from population centers. Results show only weak relationships between attendance and distance from population. To test whether other factors are more important predictors of attendance, regression analysis was carried out using variables describing amenities and characteristics of the parks. The results show that a high level of explanation for attendance to parks is provided by ticket price, parking cost, the …
Ideologies Of Land And Place: Gĩkũyũ And Settler Colonist Women In Kenya, Heidi G. Frontani, Rachel Rebecca Hewitt
Ideologies Of Land And Place: Gĩkũyũ And Settler Colonist Women In Kenya, Heidi G. Frontani, Rachel Rebecca Hewitt
The Geographical Bulletin
Gĩkũyũ and settler colonist women’s life histories were analyzed using textual analysis of first-person accounts to understand the ideologies behind women’s perceptions of land, place, and human-environment relationships, and to fill a gap in the literature on women in central Kenya. Earlier studies have focused on social relations between Gĩkũyũ and colonists, social issues affecting these groups, or land as an important, but nongendered construct. Our major finding was that the women’s understandings of humanenvironment relations and place reflected gender awareness, but overall were consistent with the dominant ideologies of men from their cultural background and time. Settler colonists took …
Evaluating Development In India: Hdi And Per Capita Income, Leah Talaber
Evaluating Development In India: Hdi And Per Capita Income, Leah Talaber
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper explores the relationship between per capita income and the Human Development Index. In an attempt to create a diverse data sample, I examined the states and territories of India, a country that is both culturally diverse and exceedingly diverse in terms of human and economic development. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a correlation between per capita income and social capabilities—primarily access to health care and education—as measured by the United Nations Human Development Index. Overall, there was a strong correlation between these two variables. The states and territories that did not fit …
The Spatial Dynamics Of The Securities And Commodities Industry: An Analysis Of Growth Share For States And Msa Counties, 1977-1997, Darren Maher, Jay D. Gatrell
The Spatial Dynamics Of The Securities And Commodities Industry: An Analysis Of Growth Share For States And Msa Counties, 1977-1997, Darren Maher, Jay D. Gatrell
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper investigates the spatial dynamics and characteristics of the securities and commodities industry. The study investigates the observed geography of the securities and commodities industry sector at the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) county scale. The research provides a descriptive analysis of observed growth and identifies high-performing states and MSA counties. Additionally, we examine if the diffusion pattern of securities and commodities activities has followed the general spatial dynamics of the product cycle model at the state scale. At the MSA county scale, the paper considers whether the diffusion pattern of the industry is consistent with Scott’s (1988) OutwardDownward-Across model …
New Materialism And Public Lands: Opportunities For Human And Nonhuman Interactions At Petroglyph National Monument, Madilynn M. Nolen
New Materialism And Public Lands: Opportunities For Human And Nonhuman Interactions At Petroglyph National Monument, Madilynn M. Nolen
Geography ETDs
Petroglyph National Monument (PETR) resides at the intersection of geology, urban development, and environmental preservation. As the site of convergence for these complex systems, this National Park site is an example of what kinds of interactions occur between humans and nonhumans and how these interactions mediate our broader understanding of material world. This project utilizes literature from more-than-human geographies and new materialism to examine how these interactions inform the management strategies of PETR. Through the interviews of 15 Volunteers-in-Parks and a focus group of five PETR employees, this project investigates what nonhuman entities are present on and around the monument, …
The Rise And Fall Of Caribbean Piracy: A Socio-Technical Analysis Of The War Of Spanish Succession, Maritime Innovation, And Edward Randolf’S Policy, Dominique M. Salinski
The Rise And Fall Of Caribbean Piracy: A Socio-Technical Analysis Of The War Of Spanish Succession, Maritime Innovation, And Edward Randolf’S Policy, Dominique M. Salinski
Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History
This paper argues that the mode and historical context in which piracy ascended in the Caribbean after the War of the Spanish Succession, as well as the historical interrelation between maritime technology and pirate tactics, coalesced into a diachronic Damocles Sword that resulted in the downfall of piracy in the Golden Age. Sanctioning piratical enterprises as a subconventional maritime strategy displayed a geopolitical reliance on piracy by great powers. However, the depraved treatment conventional sailors received across all major European navies generated a social stratum that eventually bore the Golden Age of Piracy, while simultaneously contributing significantly to British naval …

Where Are The Geographers? Newly Incorporated Municipalities (Nims) In The South, Russel M. Smith, Keith Debbage
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 …
A Re-Examination Of The Lost Lake Effect In Buffalo, New York, Stephen Vermette, Emmanuel Orengo
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 …
Application And Comparison Of Geomorphological And Hydrological Pool And Riffle Quantification Methods, Amy M. Krueger, Kelly M. Frothingham
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
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
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
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 …
