Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comments. Term Papers Or Theses Or Whatever Without Chaos, John F. Lounsbury
The Geographical Bulletin
Most geography students at the college level will become involved in a research project of some sort at some time in their academic careers. There are several ways that this might occur. For example, there are term papers for specific courses and senior theses at the undergraduate level, and pressure problems, master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations at the graduate level. Further, on occasions students will prepare research papers to be given at a meeting of a professional society or to be submitted to a professional or semi-professional journal for publication. Also, graduate students may write proposals for funding or to …

This article presents a paper developed by the AAG Organizing Committee on Locational Information and the Public Interest through a summit held in Santa Barbara, California in June 2022. The summit resulted in goals and ideas for addressing the issues that arise from the present environment for geodata, whereby public, private, and third-sector entities can tap into publicly available locational information with relatively little regulation on its access or use. The Committee articulates four goals: (1) develop a research agenda extending across disciplines, (2) outline educational resources and strategies to guide ethical practice, (3) devise a pathway to increase public …

Trump wants to become the world’s Peace Maker, the Master of the Art of Making Deals. He promised to end this war in 24 hours. Yet the real question is whether Putin wants to end the war, or whether he is ready for a deal ? If so, then what kind of a deal? Could it be that Putin might have a different deal in mind than the deal Trump is willing to offer?? So what happens then??? The lecture deliberated about the possible answers to this very question from several perspectives, analyzing the impact on Egypt, the region & …

The Establishment Of Turf Farming In Tsukuba City, Japan, Atsushi Onodera, Shizue Kamikihara, Takehiro Morimoto
The Geographical Bulletin
Formative processes of a turf producing region are examined in Tsukuba City, the leading turf producing area in Japan. Turf production in Tsukuba City is carried out together by turf traders and landscape gardeners. Due to the urbanization of Tsukuba City, almost all farms are now operated part time. Since even elderly farmers can easily produce turf, turf production has become a widely accepted activity. Moreover, a golf course construction boom has lead to a greater demand in turf production and to high prices of turf.

Farm Chemicals As Indicators Of Sediment Sources In Iowa Rivers, Edward N. Nealson, George P. Malanson
The Geographical Bulletin
Determination of the source of sediment in rivers and streams is important in order to effectively implement a program to reduce its concentration. This project uses agricultural chemicals as indicators of current sources of sediment from farm fields in the Cedar River, Iowa watershed. We hypothesized that the relations of sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorous yields to precipitation would indicate whether sediment originated from erosion of fields or from channel bank erosion of floodplains. The changes in sediment, nitrate, and phosphorus in the channel in response to rainfall events were determined. In simple regressions, all three variables have similar slopes when …

Agricultural Drought Mitigation In Carroll County, Maryland, Teresa Kaltenbacher
The Geographical Bulletin
Carroll County, with its longstanding tradition in agriculture, has had many past experiences with drought. This paper examines drought as it pertains to the farming community in the county. Precipitation statistics for the past 30 years are analyzed in context of the drought occurring in the summer of 1991. Crop loss and the subsequent implementation of federal emergency relief programs by the administering agencies within Carroll County are investigated and an assessment of their overall effectiveness is determined. Various coping strategies and perceptions of drought on an individual level are explored based on a field interview with a Carroll County …

The Urban Surface Of Shanghai Proper, Li Jinan, Tao Kanghua
The Geographical Bulletin
Based on data from aerial photographs the form, material component, and structure of the urban surface of Shanghai Proper are quantitatively mapped, classified, and analyzed. Relationships between the characteristic of the land cover and urban problems are identified. Urban surfaces include natural features such as open water and culture surfaces such as tile roofs, and concrete surfaces. A quantitative analysis of the land cover reveals the historical development of Shanghai and the emergence of an urban basin with the taller buildings at the perimeter, not in the central city. The study also reveals sections of the city where natural hazards …

I grew up in Newark, New Jersey. I loved its streets and its people. I loved the public schools, the No. 13 trolley that carried passengers down Clinton Avenue to the downtown area, to Bamberger's, Hahnes' and Kresge's, to the Newark Museum and especially the public library. For eighteen or more years I had never been outside of New Jersey or New York, but in the library I found the world. And I could float in my imagination to the Indian sub-continent, to China and Japan, to the great European capitals, to Oceania and beyond. I found a great fascination …

The Work Of Strangers: A Survey Of International Labour Migration By Peter Stalker., C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
As recently as the late 1980s, the migration of workers across international boundaries was a relatively minor phenomenon. Today however, the migration of workers across such boundaries as well as intercontinental movement is one of the most striking geographical aspects of the globalization of the world economy. The global landscape has developed some remarkable new economic and political features in recent years. As noted by the author-from Eastern Europe, to the Pacific Rim, to the United States-Mexican border-a reshaping of territories and alliances along with shifts of economic power have been redirecting many international flows of money, goods and most …

Improving Rail Resources: The Detroit-Chicago Rail Corridor Upgrade, A. Stroup
The Geographical Bulletin
The Detroit-Chicago Rail Corridor was awarded federal high-speed rail designation in October, 1992. This designation was the end result of a 22-year Amtrak/State of Michigan partnership created to improve the corridor's infrastructure and performance. Portions of the corridor are now able to support train speeds of up to 110 mph due to improvements to trackage and safety devices, and the elimination of some grade crossings. Facility improvements along with the infrastructure improvements have been responsible for the nearly 170 percent increase in annual corridor ridership since 1970. The continued commitment of numerous agencies has ensured that the Detroit-Chicago Corridor is …

Alpha Chapter did an excellent job promoting geography this year. With 27 active members this was easy to do. We had several big projects that we took on. One was the restoration of the ISU Nature Trail which has been defunct for 10 years. The members enjoyed this outdoor project, picking up trash, old furniture and clearing the path. This project will continue to be on-going. We hope to write a selfguided tour book, create lesson plans for the local school teachers and add picnic tables and rebuild markers and signs. Our second project was to contact a local school …

The Catch Effort Of Spiny Lobster (Panulirus Argus) On South Caicos, British West Indies, Edward J. Burge Jr
The Geographical Bulletin
The spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, which inhabits bank around South Caicos, Turks and Caicos Islands, is the most economically important crustacean in the Caribbean region. In recent years concern regarding overfishing has become prominent. In this study 46 boat loads of specimens, with catches derived from 11 fishing sites were surveyed for data sets including size, sex, and amount from each site. The catch-per-unit effort calculated for each site revealed that individual diving ability and ease of harvest were the greatest determinants for choice of fishing site. Environmental conditions of spiny lobster habitats; such as, water depth and direction of …

Temporal And Spatial Changes In Beaver Pond Locations, Eastern Glacier National Park, Montana, U.S.A., Ross K. Meentemeyer, David R. Butler
The Geographical Bulletin
Sequential aerial photographs from 1966, 1973, 1984, and 1991 were used to map the number and distribution of beaver ponds in a portion of eastern Glacier National Park, Montana. The most stable ponds were located on deltaic environments. Ponds located on intermittent streams were somewhat less stable. A general equilibrium of pond number and site location exists in the study area throughoutthe 25-year period. This result contrasts with those from historical studies in eastern and central North America, where beaver populations at the turn of the century had probably been much lower than in Glacier National Park.

Tuan's Topophilia: The Making Of A Citation Classic, Dean Sinclair
The Geographical Bulletin
First published in 1974, Yi-Fu Tuan's work Topophilia has become one of the most cited works in human geography. Using the method of citation analysis and data from the Citation Indexes, this paper explores the frequency of Topophilia's inclusion as a reference in scholarly literature. A temporal trend is identified, which indicates that citation to Topophilia rose in the late 1970s, dropped in the early 1980s, but rose again in the late 1980s. Within journals, the references to Topophilia by geographers has declined since the 1980s while citations in literature in the humanities has increased since the late 1980s. A …

As students of geography, you should know that many of the competencies you will need for the world of work can be learned with geography instruction that is issues-based and inquiry-oriented. With this kind of teaching and learning, you see that what goes on in your classes is directly linked to what goes on in the real world. This learning can help you appreciate what John Dewey, the great American philosopher, believed: Education is not merely preparation for life but life itself. Indeed, it is crucial that you believe that learning is one of your most important responsibilities, and that …
