An Economic Location Model For Texas Wineries, Mary Luanne Napton, Darrell E. Napton, James D. Harrison
The Geographical Bulletin
Sunbelt migration and increased per capita wine consumption have stimulated the opening of 27 new wineries in Texas since 1976. Choosing the location of a winery is one of the vintner's most important decisions. A survey of vintners provided a ranking of locational criteria that was used to develop an economic locational model of winery location. A preliminary model was tested and discarded in favor of a more narrowly defined model. Critical marketing locational criteria included proximity to tourist areas, access to grapes, distance from urban areas, access to an interstate highway, and severity of county alcohol laws.

Changing Rural Settlement Patterns In New Pudong Development Area, Shanghai, People's Republic Of China, Gu Qilin
The Geographical Bulletin
The delta region on the south bank of the Yangtze River displays a diversity of urban/rural settlement patterns. The area, referred to as the New Pudong Development Area, includes belt or linear settlement patterns parallel to artificial dikes and rivers, as well as clustered settlements which occur further inland. The more diverse settlements are most often associated with administrative centers within the town. To the west, extended urbanization related to the expansion of Shanghai is impacting the rural landscape. Urban land uses are replacing rural land uses. Settlement types are identified and a classification is proposed. These types are Belt, …

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. The Geographer's Role In The Solution Of Environmental Problems: An Invitation, Arthur A. Davis
The Geographical Bulletin
I have a story for engineers, and one for economists, and of course, one for lawyers; but I do not have a story for geographers. I do have a strong admiration for the profession, however, for the sweep of its concerns and the inclusivity of its perspectives. Years ago I worked briefly with Gilbert White on some water resource policy, and much admired his ability to relate the natural world with human demands on it. His ideas certainly challenged some conventional whims. I recall the furor he created when he suggested that the water needs of Chicago could be met …

Promoting Equity: Embracing Food Justice In The Transformation Of The Food Systems For Bipoc Communities, Frank Yeboah Adusei
Journal of Extension
The food justice movement addresses systemic food inequities impacting BIPOC communities, rooted in civil rights and environmental justice movements. It advocates for fair access to culturally relevant food, combating food deserts, and promoting food sovereignty. Recognizing intersectionality, it emphasizes collaboration to dismantle systemic barriers. This study aims to understand BIPOC communities' challenges and effective strategies, stressing the importance of collaborative efforts for lasting systemic change. Extension professionals face challenges but can contribute through equity-focused strategies, community engagement, and partnerships, advancing food justice and fostering inclusive food systems.

An Inventory Of Private Well Programs Across The United States, Bethany G. Foust, Ann S. Ojeda, Jessica Curl, Eve Brantley, Stephanie R. Rogers
Journal of Extension
Private well owners comprise approximately 15% of the United States (US) population and are responsible for managing their well water. Management of domestic wells can be burdensome, requires knowledge, and is critical for maintaining clean drinking water. Management resources vary by state and the resource landscape across the US is unclear. Thus, our objective was to inventory where resources exist, while also highlighting geographic areas that may need improved resources to ensure that people have the ability to safely manage their drinking water. Results of this inventory showed that 64% of states have programs; 72% of which were Cooperative Extension.

This year was another exciting one for the Alpha Chapter. Duri ng National Geography Awareness Week we sold Tshirts and went on a wild weekend canoe and camping trip to Turkey Run in Indiana. The weather and fall colors were beautiful, hiking was fun, and the river was low, making a wet run for 5 out of 6 canoes. In November, the members took an Indianapolis trip to see an ice hockey game and to sightsee.
The Timing Of The Baroclinicity Maximum Along The East And Gulf Coasts Of The United States,

The Timing Of The Baroclinicity Maximum Along The East And Gulf Coasts Of The United States, Brent Walker
The Geographical Bulletin
Certain mid-latitude coastal areas are zones of extreme baroclinicity during the coldest months of the year. Because midlatitude cyclones often tend to travel along these zones of coastal baroclinicity, the exact timing of the variations in the degree of baroclinicity along these coasts is important with regard to the forecasting of cyclonic storm tracks and their associated weather. This study examines the variations in the timing and magnitude of the baroclinicity along the east coast and the Gulf of Mexico of the United States. Near coastal land surface temperatures and sea surface temperatures along both coasts are compared for the …

Environmental And Topographical Factors Affecting Male "Middle-Of-The-Pack" Duathlon Performance, Glen A. Wiggins, Peter T. Soule
The Geographical Bulletin
Duathlon performance in male "middle-of-the-pack" (MMP) athletes was examined for 13 races held in Oregon and British Columbia during 1990. The primary objectives was to investigate the relationship between topographic and race-day weather variability on MMP duathlon performance. Regression models were created to help explain MMP performance for each duathlon segment (first 5 km run, 30 km bicycle, second 5 km run), overall, and 5 km run disparity. A suite of topographic and raceday weather variables were considered as possible explanatory variables. First 5 km ~un performance is primarily a function of the topographic difficulty of the course. Wind speed …

The Impact Of Mountain Goat Migration On Unconsolidated Slopes In Glacier National Park, Montana, David R. Butler
The Geographical Bulletin
Native mountain goats must cross U.S. Highway 2 in order to gain access to a natural salt lick along the southern boundary of Glacier National Park, Montana. Prior to 1981, goats approached through forest cover and then crossed over the highway. Reconstruction of the highway incorporated two goat underpasses which substantially altered the migration pattern. Large numbers of goats now utilize an open, south-facing slope, and cause extensive erosion. Repeat photography illustrates the extent of erosion over the period since 1981 , and provides estimates of the amount of sediment removed. Erosion rates are startlingly high, and are a direct …

The Geographical Bulletin
Glacial landforms in the valleys of the Shenchenbao Glacier and the Lailogoru Glacier located on the eastern side of Mt. Meylixueshan (6,740 m), the highest mountain in Yunnan Province, China, were investigated in the field. The Shenchenbao Glacier terminates currently at 3,570 m and in the valley below, four terminal moraines and one pair of grand lateral moraines are recognized. The lowest terminal moraine is located at 3,260 m, about 2.5 km down from the present glacier snout. The snout of the Lilogoru Glacier lies at 2,650 m, about 900 m lower than the Shenchenbao Glacier. Located in front of …

One of the greatest curses and pleasures of my life is being a geographer. The curse? Do you have any idea how many times I am asked to name the capitol of Kentucky (I don't even care) or how many people pick me as their partner in Trivial Pursuit or Jeopardy? The pleasure? Practicing real geography, that is, using and teaching geographical skills to solve real problems and understanding the world around me. More of this later. It always amazes me how a discipline as old and distinguished as geography came to be so misunderstood through the centuries. Granted, there …

Reinterpretation Of Relations Between Vegetation Removal And Water Yield,

University of Iowa
Reinterpretation Of Relations Between Vegetation Removal And Water Yield, David P. Post, George P. Malanson
The Geographical Bulletin
While the relation between vegetation clearance and increasing streamflow appears to be strong for data aggregated among geographic regions, results are equivocal in local areas. Earlier data are re-analyzed to consider the role of hydroclimatology. While vegetation clearance increases absolute streamflow, the proportional change is not significant. Residuals of regressions of absolute and proportional change in streamflow on vegetation clearance are related to precipitation, with positive and negative slopes, respectively. A few outliers with high responses are important in creating a pattern, and hydroclimatology is a better predictor of change in streamflow than is vegetation clearance for aggregate data. With …

This paper describes an alternative to capstone field courses in undergraduate curricula. Early opportunities for faculty guided exploration and discovery provide students with firsthand field experience and is an effective means of recruiting and retaining qualified geography majors. A wide ranging, rapid movement model is more effective for introducing students to the spatial character of geography than single destination capstone courses

The Geography Of The 1992 U.S. Presidential Debates, Cynthia L. Sutherland, Gerald R. Webster
The Geographical Bulletin
Due to the United States' reliance upon the electoral college, its presidential elections are intrinsically geographic events. In their campaigns successful candidates must address issues of varying pertinence in different places and at different geographic scales. The three 1992 presidential debates provide an opportunity to consider the relative geographic emphases of the three presidential candidates based on their references to geographic places. This paper uses the verbatim dialogue of the 1992 presidential debates to extract place name references by each of the three candidates. Chi-square tests are applied to the relative use of foreign and domestic place names by the …

A geographical analysis of 39 cemeteries in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, reveals a cultural mosaic of the parish. While French Louisiana culture is dominant throughout the area, some elements of the Upland South culture, such as feet-to-east burial orientation, appear in eastern Ascension Parish. The distribution pattern of above ground burials indicates a cultural hierarchy in western Ascension Parish with Donaldsonville in its peak.
