Introductory World Geography: A View From The Otherside, James Hisey
Introductory World Geography: A View From The Otherside, James Hisey
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper investigates the perceptions students have about world geography. Fifty-three students were asked to comment on their ideas of the importance of geography and how they would integrate the excitement and fun of geography into their teaching careers. The basic idea was to have students express their view on the content and relevance of basic regional geography. After a semester of exposure to the world, even at a basic, introductory level, the importance of geography is almost a moot question. Many future teachers noted several diverse ways of utilizing geographic techniques into their teaching. Students with different career goals …
Editorial Comments: Some Thoughts On Theregional Revival, James R. Mcdonald
Editorial Comments: Some Thoughts On Theregional Revival, James R. Mcdonald
The Geographical Bulletin
In the late 1980s, Regional Geography-in its classic sense-is enjoying a sensational revival in American higher education. Courses in "World Regional Geography," or some equivalent title, are recording "standing room only" enrollments from coast to coast, while more specialized upper-division courses (North America, Europe, etc.) are attracting students in numbers not seen for 20 years. Is this an enduring or a transient phenomenon; and what, in any case, does it imply for Geography as a profession and a "serious" subject?

Research Needs In Human Geography, Stanley D. Brunn
Research Needs In Human Geography, Stanley D. Brunn
The Geographical Bulletin
Scholars need to ponder research themes and directions for future human geographics and for those studying human geographics of the future. Geographers in the next century will continue to study familiar themes, including landscapes, environments, regions, diffusions, interactions, and places at all scales (personal to extraterrestial) within social, economic, political, and cultural contexts. Ten research themes are suggested for future inquiry. These include internationalizing economic geography, information and communications, timespace convergence, networks and networking, administrative organization and reorganization, postindustrial economies and societies, quality of life and welfare issues, including survival, and the human intellect and spirit. Pioneering research in these …
Wetland Heritage Of The Upper Great Lakes: An Appreciation, C. Nicholas Raphael
Wetland Heritage Of The Upper Great Lakes: An Appreciation, C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
It is doubtful if any resource has been so abused and at the same time used as the earth's wetlands. In spite of an anti wetland prejudice, the resource has been utilized by Native Americans, fur traders and settlers. This investigation reveals that wetlands in the upper Great Lakes were not areas to be avoided but rather attractive resources to be exploited. Wetlands provided dietary and agricul tural resources, aesthetic settings and have contributed significantly to conser vation awareness. Vendable and eco nomic values recognized in the last few years are yet additional services these liquid assets provide.
Population Distribution By Religious Affiliation: Terrorist Activity In Northern Ireland, Thomas M. Michael, Michael L. Kelsey
Population Distribution By Religious Affiliation: Terrorist Activity In Northern Ireland, Thomas M. Michael, Michael L. Kelsey
The Geographical Bulletin
The districts of Northern Ireland are well defined in identifying where people live according to their religious affiliation. Patterns emerge which enable generalizations to be made about where people reside depending upon whether they are classified as Protestant or Catholic. The purpose of this research is to ascertain how terrorist incidents are associated with population distribution by religious affiliation for the past two decades on a district by district basis. It is the general contention that terrorist activity occurs where there is a mixture of Catholics and Protestants. Shifts in population distribution correspond to changes in the spatial distribution of …

Our Mental Atlases, John Fraser Hart
The Geographical Bulletin
A distinguished chemist once said to me, "Good science is good fun; if it's not good fun, it's probably not good science either." His remark has remained lodged in my memory, and it has often troubled me, because so much of the fun seems to have gone out of geography, especially for many geographers who did their graduate work in the 1960s and 1970s, who are pathetically eager to be recognized as scientists.
Locational And Morphometric Characteristics Of Landslide Deposits, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, David R. Butler, Joseph W. Nicholas
Locational And Morphometric Characteristics Of Landslide Deposits, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, David R. Butler, Joseph W. Nicholas
The Geographical Bulletin
Morphology and site characteristics of 512 landslide deposits were examined by means of a geologic/topographic map of Canyonlands National Park in an attempt to explain variations in deposit size and location. Eighty-nine percent of the landslide deposits mapped are associated with the Wingate Sandstone. Length of deposits was best explained by position beneath a scarp convexity (headland) or concavity (embayment), slope angle beneath the cliff, and cliff aspect. A t-test confirmed the importance of scarp geometry: headlands have the higher number of deposits beneath them, but landslide deposits beneath embayments are significantly longer and somewhat larger in area, suggesting that …

Public Attitudes Towards Dredge Spoil Disposal On A Lake Michigan Beach: A Study Of Environmental Perception In Geography, Robe Ramra
The Geographical Bulletin
Environmental perception has received only little attention from geographers although there are indications that its applicability and usefulness in geographical analysis is increasing. This current underdeveloped state of environmental perception in geography is attributed to reticense and apprehension among geographers, the absence of a well-developed methodology and a sound theoretical base, and problems in terminology, quantification, measurement and evaluation of environmental attitudes. An environmental perception study was conducted at Kewaunee, Wisconsin to determine beach-goers attitudes towards the disposal of unpolluted dredged material on an adjacent Lake Michigan recreational beach. The results of the questionnaire reveal favorable attitudes towards the project. …

This paper examines selected factors which indicate that the Ann Arbor, Michigan area is a prime site for the location of Research and Development (R&D) parks. In the area, the 43-acre Plymouth Research complex has been located as a result of the amenities of the Ann Arbor area. Organizations such as Bendix, Warner Lambert and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service currently have facilities in the area. Research has shown that many of the factors that R&D facilities favor occur in the Ann Arbor area. This includes being located near a major research university (University of Michigan) and being located …
Russian Orthodox Churches In Alaska, Stephen M. Straight
Russian Orthodox Churches In Alaska, Stephen M. Straight
The Geographical Bulletin
The only remaining evidence that Russians once occupied Alaska are the 78 Russian Orthodox churches are chapels located on the Aleutian Peninsula and coastal Alaska. A popular tourist attraction, the architecture of these churches are copies those of mainland Russia. Russian orthodox churches are noted for their onion dome styles, but several variations do exist. Modification in church design was often dictated by climatic conditions. Gale-force winds encouraged construction of low structures. Heavy snowfalls led to the design of steep roofs and steeples. St. Michaels Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Sitka burned down in 1966. Rebuilding it has caused a religious …
The Failure Of Beaver Dams And Resulting Outburst Flooding: A Geomorphic Hazard Of The Southeastern Piedmont, David R. Butler
The Failure Of Beaver Dams And Resulting Outburst Flooding: A Geomorphic Hazard Of The Southeastern Piedmont, David R. Butler
The Geographical Bulletin
Beaver are geomorphic agents through their building of dams and creation of pond environments. In the southeast United States, the successful reintroduction of beaver has vastly increased the number of ponds impounded by beaver dams. These dams may fail, producing rapid and potentially catastrophic draining of beaver ponds, a geomorphic hazard which has not gained sufficient notice. This paper examines several cases of known dam failure and subsequent rapid drainage of beaver ponds. Reconstructions of the discharge from these ponds was accomplished using standard hydrologic relationships of stream dimensions or pond volume to discharge. Peak flood discharges may be catastrophically …

In a less restrictive sense the same is true of our modern households. All the basic needs common to man the animal must be provided for. However, our great technical advancement over primitive peoples permits a variety of ways in which we shape our shelters, prepare our foods, and supply needs we were not even aware of a century ago. We have radio, TV, and kitchen appliances to perform tasks accomplished by hand when I was a lad. Let me illustrate by example. As a boy in the first years of the century I lived in a modest village on …

Spatial Variations In Fire Alarm Calls, Geneseo, New York, Mark E. Jakubauskas, Randall L. Repic
The Geographical Bulletin
The township and village of Geneseo, New York, were studied to determine if a regional variation of fire alarms existed during a four-year study period. Similar to large cities, concentrations of call type appeared to be related to the demographic and economic makeup of a specific region. Clusters of structure fires, automobile accidents, and false alarms are identified in certain areas and underlying reasons for these clustering are discussed. Current and potential courses of action to combat these concentrations and lower the overall call rate are included as well.

Robust projections and predictions of climate variability and change, particularly at regional scales, rely on the driving processes being represented with fidelity in model simulations. Consequently, the role of enhanced horizontal resolution in improved process representation in all components of the climate system continues to be of great interest. Recent simulations suggest the possibility of significant changes in both large-scale aspects of the ocean and atmospheric circulations and in the regional responses to climate change, as well as improvements in representations of small-scale processes and extremes, when resolution is enhanced. The first phase of the High-Resolution Model Intercomparison Project (HighResMIP1) …

Alfred Russel Wallace Notes 35. Natural Selection By Evolution., Charles H. Smith
Faculty/Staff Personal Papers
Alfred Russel Wallace (1823?1913) is remembered, with Charles Darwin, as the co-originator of the concept of evolution by natural selection. But Wallace’s framing of the idea increasingly became one in which natural selection itself was regarded as a law of nature, not a theory per se.

Broadening Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, And Inclusion In The Process And Development Of Climate Assessments, Eric K. Chu, Gillian Bowser, Abby Frazier, Alyssa Quintyne, Linda Shi, Pamela Mcelwee
Geography
Comprehensive assessments of scientific knowledge are essential to inform efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change impacts. The Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), released in late 2023, adopted clear diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion (DEAI) goals and trainings, which helped diversify expert participation, broaden the types of knowledge included, and widen public engagement. This Letter, written by NCA5 authors, reflects on the impacts and limitations of these efforts and suggests specific actions to further promote collaboration, honor and recognize the knowledge of frontline communities, and guide more just and holistic climate assessments.

Geography Faculty Publications and Presentations
Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground-based long-term forest monitoring with large-scale remote sensing. We surveyed the metadata from 466 865 forest monitoring plots across 89 countries and five continents using questionnaires and discuss the potential to use these to estimate tree mortality trends globally. Our survey shows that the area monitored has increased steadily since 1960, but we also identify many regions with limited ground-based information on tree …

Black carbon from biomass and fossil fuel burning is an important aerosol in the climate system. Understanding its historical variation is crucial to constrain current anthropogenic and wildfire impacts on the atmosphere. Patagonia was proposed previously as a major source region for the late 13th century black carbon increase observed in an ice core from the northern Antarctic Peninsula but not in continental Antarctic ice cores. Here, we reconstruct regional black carbon trends using high-resolution measurements of refractory black carbon (rBC) in two Patagonian lake-sediment cores spanning the last two millennia and compare the results with other records of fire …

Drought is a period of abnormally dry weather that leads to hydrological imbalance. Drought assessments determine the characteristics, severity, and impacts of a drought. Climate change adds conceptual and quantitative challenges to traditional drought assessments. This paper highlights the challenges of assessing drought in a climate made non-stationary by human activities or natural variability. To address these challenges, we then identify 10 key research priorities for advancing drought science and improving assessments in a changing climate. The priorities focus on improving drought indicators to account for non-stationarity, evaluating drought impacts and their trends, addressing regional differences in non-stationarity, determining the …
Forest Carbon Modeling Improved Through Hierarchical Assimilation Of Pool-Based Measurements, Yu Zhou, Christopher A. Williams
Forest Carbon Modeling Improved Through Hierarchical Assimilation Of Pool-Based Measurements, Yu Zhou, Christopher A. Williams
Geography
Accurate assessment of forest carbon dynamics is a critical element of appraising forest-based Natural Climate Solutions. National forest inventory and analysis (FIA) data provide valuable pool-based estimates of carbon stocks, but have been underutilized to inform carbon cycle modeling for forest carbon dynamics with stand development. This study introduces a hierarchical data assimilation (HDA) framework to optimize modeling parameters by incrementally assimilating measured carbon pool data into the model. We found that most carbon stocks could be reproduced by constrained parameters after each HDA step. Using aboveground live biomass (AGB) alone in HDA was able to reproduce the AGB trajectories …
