Institute for ECHO Articles and Research
Soil moisture is a critical parameter that significantly impacts the global energy balance, including the hydrologic cycle, land–atmosphere interactions, soil evaporation, and plant growth. Currently, soil moisture is typically measured by installing sensors in the ground or through satellite remote sensing, with data retrieval facilitated by reanalysis models such as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis 5 (ERA5) and the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). However, the suitability of these methods for capturing local-scale variabilities is insufficiently validated, particularly in regions like South Korea, where land surfaces are highly complex and heterogeneous. In contrast, artificial intelligence …

What Is Old Is New Again: The Reintegration Of Dresden’S Landscape Into The Modern German State, Richard Wolfel
What Is Old Is New Again: The Reintegration Of Dresden’S Landscape Into The Modern German State, Richard Wolfel
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper examines the architecture of Dresden in the era of East/West reunification. Traditional theories of German national development have identified three foci for post-World War II development, the Geopolitics of Nostalgia that seeks to return German national identity to an era prior to World War II, Zero Point thinking that seeks to build a new Germany from the ashes of World War II and critical preservation has sought to preserve some Nazi landscapes in an effort to facilitate discussion on the controversial era. Being an East German city, however, Dresden was isolated from the development of West German identity …
Assessing Climate Changein Alabama Using Climatenormals, Jonathan Herbert, Jeffrey A. D. Caudill
Assessing Climate Changein Alabama Using Climatenormals, Jonathan Herbert, Jeffrey A. D. Caudill
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper uses climate normals to assess historic changes in temperature and precipitation in Alabama. Changes in temperature and precipitation are calculated between climate normals periods at 18 weather stations across the state and for the state as a whole. The earliest climate normals period for which data are available is 1931-60 and the most recent is 1981-2010. Results show that Alabama has gotten cooler and wetter over the whole period of record, particularly in the fall and winter. However, changes between climate normals periods show these trends are reversing
Geographical Variation In The Photosynthesis Characteristics Of Sugar Maple (Acer Saccharum) Lab- And Field-Grown Seedlings, David Goldblum, Christa Kennett, Alicia Lisowski
Geographical Variation In The Photosynthesis Characteristics Of Sugar Maple (Acer Saccharum) Lab- And Field-Grown Seedlings, David Goldblum, Christa Kennett, Alicia Lisowski
The Geographical Bulletin
A number of recent studies suggest that in light of anthropogenic climate change, sugar maple (Acer saccharum) may not be adapted to persist over much of its current range. We consider variation in the species’ photosynthetic properties across its range. Seeds from Tennessee, Illinois, and Michigan were grown under laboratory conditions and in two experimental plots in Illinois and Michigan forests. In the Michigan forest, seedlings derived from Michigan seeds had significantly higher rates of carbon assimilation than those from Illinois. In the Illinois forest, seedlings from Tennessee had significantly greater carbon assimilation rates and light saturation points than seedlings …
Weather Influences On Raptor Migration Along The Kittatinny Ridge, Pennsylvania, Tara E. Gettig, Timothy W. Hawkins
Weather Influences On Raptor Migration Along The Kittatinny Ridge, Pennsylvania, Tara E. Gettig, Timothy W. Hawkins
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper analyzes the relationship between weather patterns and bird migration to determine the feasibility of a site-specific migration forecast. Autumn migration data from Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Pennsylvania for ten species were correlated with individual weather variables. Stepwise multiple linear regressions revealed a positive relationship with raptor migration to northwesterly winds and wind speed and an inverse relationship to sea level pressure. Composite maps were created using data from days with the greatest migration counts for each species and categorized by synoptic situations. A relationship between bird migration and cold-front passage was revealed, with five of the species having their …

No. 02: Impacts Of Covid-19 Policy Measures On Migration And Food Security In Ecuador, Mercedes Eguiguren, Cheryl Martens
Migration and Food Security (MiFOOD) Network
The COVID-19 pandemic had profound effects on Ecuador, exacerbated by pre-existing weaknesses in the public health system, economic austerity policies, and social inequalities. The reliance on containment measures, combined with insufficient social support, resulted in severe economic and social decline. Migrants, already a vulnerable group, were further marginalized during the pandemic, facing exclusion from social protection programs and increased food insecurity. This report examines the impacts of COVID-19 policy measures on migration and food security in Ecuador, focusing on urban contexts, particularly the capital city of Quito. The findings underscore the need for more integrated research and policy approaches that …

Climate Hazards And Human Migration: Literature Review, Anna Ivanova, Deepti Singh, Pronoy Rai, Claire Richards, Hugo Vasconcelos, Michael Goldsby
International & Global Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
Human populations are migrating as a result of climate change. We conducted a systematic literature review examining the relationship between several climate hazards and migration flows. We reviewed 58 empirical studies between 2010 and 2023 that examined current and future migration related to acute and long-term climate hazards. The results indicate that the relationship between climate hazards and migration is diverse and depends on a range of socio-economic factors. Droughts and rising temperatures have a major impact on both international and domestic migration. Our review also reveals that multiple climate hazards collectively tend to intensify domestic migration toward urban areas, …

Indiana Time Law And Its Detrimental Effects, John F. Gaski
Indiana Time Law And Its Detrimental Effects, John F. Gaski
The Geographical Bulletin
The most enduring and contentious public policy issue in Indiana history may be the seemingly prosaic matter of “what time is it?” This analysis focuses on the implications of the State of Indiana’s recent change to daylight-saving time in conjunction with near-statewide Eastern time . I argue that the economic and commercial basis for the new temporal regimen is erroneous, and that its educational and humane implications are substantial . Finally, I outline a proposal for resolution of these issues . Although the concentration here is the Indiana situation, lessons are generalizable to other states, counties, and regions facing similar …
The Transportation Disadvantaged And The Right To The City In Syracuse, New York, Kafui Ablode Attoh
The Transportation Disadvantaged And The Right To The City In Syracuse, New York, Kafui Ablode Attoh
The Geographical Bulletin
Drawing on the idea of the right to the city, this paper focuses on the challenges facing the transportation disadvantaged in Syracuse, N .Y . This paper will begin by focusing on two programs aimed at transporting welfare recipients to work: the Rides for Work and Wheels for Work programs . This paper will then examine transit activism in Syracuse as it emerged, first in debates over wheelchair lifts on public buses in the 1980s and second as it has emerged in more contemporary organizing efforts aimed at promoting transit awareness . Through these four case studies, this paper argues …
Modeling Environmental Security In Sub-Saharan Africa, Amy Richmond Krakowka, Natalie Heimel, Francis A. Galgano
Modeling Environmental Security In Sub-Saharan Africa, Amy Richmond Krakowka, Natalie Heimel, Francis A. Galgano
The Geographical Bulletin
Many conflicts are enabled by environmental instability . This has been especially problematical in sub-Saharan Africa where non-sustainable practices and environmental change have combined with the proliferation of failing governments, enabling longstanding ethnic and religious antagonisms to erupt into violent conflicts . History has demonstrated that environmental stress can result in conflict, frequently along ethnic lines . Thus, the concept of environmental security has emerged as one basis for understanding conflict . To that end, this paper examines the nexus between the environment and conflict and demonstrates the need for careful environmental analysis by presenting a model illustrating the relationship …
No. 05: Pandemic Precarity And Food Insecurity Among Zimbabwean Migrants In South Africa, Godfrey Tawodzera, Jonathan Crush
No. 05: Pandemic Precarity And Food Insecurity Among Zimbabwean Migrants In South Africa, Godfrey Tawodzera, Jonathan Crush
Migration and Food Security (MiFOOD) Network
This policy brief highlights the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Zimbabwean migrants living in South Africa, with a particular focus on food insecurity and economic precarity. The pandemic exacerbated existing vulnerabilities within the migrant community, many of whom rely on informal, low-wage labour sectors for their livelihoods. The survey conducted in 2021 among Zimbabwean migrants revealed widespread unemployment, drastic income reductions, and severe food insecurity, primarily driven by pandemic-related restrictions and the resultant economic contraction. Zimbabwean migrants, a significant proportion of whom work in South Africa’s informal economy, were disproportionately affected by the lockdowns and mobility restrictions. The …

Increasing Public Participation In Municipal Solid Waste Reduction, Elizabeth J. O’Connell
Increasing Public Participation In Municipal Solid Waste Reduction, Elizabeth J. O’Connell
The Geographical Bulletin
Municipal solid waste (MSW) presents environmental, social, and economic problems. Enlisting the public in reducing MSW has proven to be difficult in a variety of cultures and economies. Although the waste diversion practice of recycling is well-known, other waste minimization behaviors remain unknown and unpracticed by the majority of the population. There is room for improvement in waste minimization and waste diversion participation. This paper examines research into what motivates and what hinders participation in waste diversion and minimization practices by drawing out the common factors found in a wide spectrum of studies. Fear of the actual and perceived dangers …
Teaching Effectively And Efficiently: Strategies For Graduate Students, Zia Salim
Teaching Effectively And Efficiently: Strategies For Graduate Students, Zia Salim
The Geographical Bulletin
Teaching represents the moment at which graduate students reverse roles and take on the responsibility of educating others. Although having the opportunity to teach can greatly enhance the graduate student experience, for many graduate students a teaching assignment can entail having to find a balance between the competing demands of coursework, research, teaching, and their personal lives. This article begins with a description of some of the responsibilities that face graduate students who teach. The article then provides a variety of specific strategies that can help graduate students teach more effectively and efficiently, and concludes with brief thoughts on how …
Graduate Student Life In A Post-9/11 World: An Indian Graduate Student's Reflection In Finding Sanity And Staying With It, Aswin Subanthore
Graduate Student Life In A Post-9/11 World: An Indian Graduate Student's Reflection In Finding Sanity And Staying With It, Aswin Subanthore
The Geographical Bulletin
The everyday lives of international graduate students are often assumed to be similar to their American-born colleagues and therefore rendered invisible. In a post-9/11 America, juggling various uncertainties including social conservatism in small college towns and immigration restrictions on employment can truly test the limits of an international graduate student’s sanity. However, student resources including international student groups can provide the space for a more comfortable dialogue between them and their American peers as well as among international students. This essay highlights some of the issues I have faced as an Indian graduate student, and provides pointers for other international …
Who Are You Married To? Balancing Graduate School And Marriage, Chris Labosier, Anna Labosier
Who Are You Married To? Balancing Graduate School And Marriage, Chris Labosier, Anna Labosier
The Geographical Bulletin
Stress is prevalent among graduate school students. Many universities and departments place a heavy burden upon their graduate students to complete large amounts of coursework, teach labs, grade student work, present at conferences, perform research for faculty, and many other responsibilities. Married graduate students face the competing demands of being both a graduate student and a spouse. This paper is a brief reflection on what it is like to be both a married graduate student and the spouse of a graduate student, a perspective rarely examined. Through these two perspectives, some coping strategies are identified. While competing demands are certainly …
Can We Get A Pub From This? Reflections On Competition And The Pressure To Publish While In Graduate School, Nicholas Jon Crane, Zoe Pearson
Can We Get A Pub From This? Reflections On Competition And The Pressure To Publish While In Graduate School, Nicholas Jon Crane, Zoe Pearson
The Geographical Bulletin
It is widely acknowledged that graduate students feel increasing pressure to be academically productive in measurable ways, notably through peer-reviewed publication. Many suggest that the drive for measurable productivity responds to changing structural constraints. In these reflections, we indicate that an unsupportive culture of graduate study is also shaped by our everyday actions. Our practices maintain and exacerbate the competition through which the drive to demonstrate propensity for academic productivity has arisen, and it is therefore at the level of practices that this culture might be changed. Through intra- and inter-university communication, we might alter the expectations within which we …
Adaptive Strategies For Phd Candidates To A Changing Academic Environment: Diversification And Time Management, Kirby Calvert
Adaptive Strategies For Phd Candidates To A Changing Academic Environment: Diversification And Time Management, Kirby Calvert
The Geographical Bulletin
The confluence of an increasing emphasis on ‘deliverables,’ rising numbers of PhD candidates, and waning employment opportunities presents significant challenges for prospective and incumbent PhD candidates. I identify two coping strategies for adapting to this changing environment: 1) diversify the set of theoretical leanings and methods to which you are exposed during your PhD experience to alleviate some of the concerns around employment opportunities by making your knowledge and skill-set marketable beyond the walls of academia; and 2) streamline your teaching, learning, and research duties to minimize the impact of these formal academic duties on your personal life and completion …

Bart Simpson Reveals Reality, Necati Anaz
The Geographical Bulletin
This article reviews issues that graduate students face in their everyday academic endeavors and outlines several possible strategies to cope with those issues. The author addresses two primary issues: the financial concerns that pervade every aspect of graduate life to the point that living a decent life seems impossible, and the responsibilities— such as sending out publications, teaching classes, reading papers, and grading exams— that graduate students are expected to carry out during their studentship. With regard to these issues, this article focuses on two important prerequisites for success—commitment to hard work and financial security—along with several other cornerstones to …
Challenges And Coping In Graduate School, M. Beth Schlemper
Challenges And Coping In Graduate School, M. Beth Schlemper
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper addresses challenges and coping strategies of graduate student in US geography programs. Through semi-structured focus groups with 117 graduate students enrolled in ten departments (five doctoral and f ive master’s programs), time management and the academic dimensions of graduate school emerge as major challenges. Students benefit from building support networks with their advisors, committee members, other faculty members (both inside and outside of their departments), peers and other students, and family or friends. These relationships help students balance the demands on their time as well as the academic side of graduate school. They also discover that active involvement …

Introduction, Amanda Fickey, Erin Pullen
The Geographical Bulletin
“Maintaining Sanity in Graduate School: A Brief Commentary on the Significance of Informal Networks”, was a crisis piece for us. Having found ourselves worn down by the daily grind of graduate school, we submitted a reflection piece to The Geographical Bulletin with the hope that it would stimulate discussion among graduate students pertaining to effective coping strategies. At that time we had no idea what insightful comments this topic would generate, we merely wanted to engage with students beyond our own university regarding critical issues that often go overlooked and unspoken.

Maintaining Sanity In Graduate School: A Brief Commentary On The Significance Of Informal Networks, Amanda Fickey, Erin Pullen
The Geographical Bulletin
Graduate students often feel pressure to succeed not only as students and instructors, but also as published authors, engaged service-oriented community members, and researchers. As the scarcity of tenure-track positions and the general downturn of the economy become increasingly disconcerting, we often feel it necessary to sacrifice personal relationships and friendships to focus on making ourselves more competitive as we prepare to enter the job market. In this reflective essay, we consider the ways that we have discovered to navigate these day-to-day struggles, focusing primarily on the significance of informal networks. Although the authors have formed their own informal network …
