Abstract:
AbstractThis is the second in a series of biographies entitled ‘Children of the Golden Age,’ the purpose of which is to describe the background and contributions of significant living figures in polar research who began their scientific careers in the years following World War II. Born on 17 November 1926 in Burma, Charles Winthrop Molesworth Swithinbank attended Bryanston School in Dorset before joining the Royal Navy in 1944. He read geography at the University of Oxford and was named assistant glaciologist for the Norwegian-British-Swedish Expedition (1949–52). After completing his DPhil, he joined the Scott Polar Research Institute, where he studied ice distribution in the Northwest Passage. Moving to the University of Michigan (1959–63), he led three expeditions to the Ross Ice Shelf before becoming the first British exchange scientist with the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1963–65). Returning to the Scott Polar Research Institute, he developed a glaciological programme that led to his appointment as chief glaciologist of the British Antarctic Survey. He became head of the Earth Sciences Division in 1974, a post he held until his retirement in 1986. Swithinbank's contributions to Antarctic science include studies of the deformation, flow, and thickness of glaciers and the interpretation of satellite imagery. He served as president of the International Glaciological Society (1981–84) and has received a number of honours and awards.

Abstract:
It is indeed a privilege for me to join Dr Naved Hamid in paying tribute to Dr Parvez Hasan, an outstanding economist recognised for his work on development economics, on the economy of Pakistan, and the East Asian economies. The Pakistan Society of Development Economists honours him today for his contribution to. economics, to the development of the Pakistan economy and to the economic profession in Pakistan. Dr Naved Hamid has recalled Dr Parvez Hasan illustrious career. In my tribute to Dr Parvez Hasan I want to put his life and career in the broader context of the times he lived in and the important institutions in which he served and their development to which he contributed. To me the life of Dr Parvez Hasan, as so wonderfully captured in his recently published autobiography, "My Life My Country-Memoirs of a Pakistani Economist", is a story which covers not only the creation and early years of Pakistan's independence but is the story of its nascent years and the rise of the profession of economists in Pakistan. It is also the story of three remarkable economists, whose lives and careers were closely intertwined and of three great institutions which were to playa pioneering role in the economic development of Pakistan as well as in laying the foundation of serious analytical and applied research on emerging economic issues confronting the country.

Full text
Abstract:
In this study, we developed a workflow that applies a complex groundwater model for purpose-driven groundwater monitoring network design and uses linear uncertainty analysis to explore the predictive dependencies and provide insights into the veracity of the monitoring design. A numerical groundwater flow model was used in a probabilistic modelling framework for obtaining the spatial distribution of predicted drawdown for a wide range of plausible combination of uncertain parameters pertaining to the deep sedimentary basin and groundwater flow processes. Reduced rank spatial prediction was used to characterize dominant trends in these spatial drawdown patterns using empirical orthogonal functions (EOF). A differential evolution algorithm was used to identify optimal locations for multi-level piezometers for collecting groundwater pressure data to minimize predictive uncertainty in groundwater drawdown. Data-worth analysis helps to explore the veracity of the design by using only the sensitivities of the observations to predictions independent of the absolute values of predictions. A 10-bore monitoring network that collects drawdown data from multiple depths at each location was designed. The data-worth analysis revealed that the design honours sensitivities of the predictions of interest to parameters. The designed network provided relatively high data-worth for minimizing uncertainty in the drawdown prediction at locations of interest.

Abstract:
“Civilized City” is the highest honor in China’s urban evaluation system. This research used a quasi-natural experiment approach to evaluate how the “Civilized City” designation influence tourism economic growth. The results showed that: (1) “Civilized City” selection promotes the growth of the tourism economy, and its impact on tourism income is greater than on the number of tourists. The “Civilized City” award is more conducive to the growth of the tourism economy than other city honors; (2) the “Civilized City” honor promotes institutional supply and adjusts the allocation of capital and labor, thereby promoting the growth of the tourism economy; and (3) the analysis showed that the impact of the “Civilized City” honor on a city’s tourism economy varies according to region, administrative level, and population size. The results of this research provide empirical support that city honors boost tourism economy growth and yield new evidence for cities to promote tourism development through awards and accreditations.

In order to assess nutrient and sediment pollution in the upper River Torrens catchment a palaeoenvironmental investigation from sediments in Gumeracha Weir was undertaken. The geochemistry of core samples from Gumeracha Weir, was compared to suspended sediment samples taken from tributaries upstream of the weir, samples of Murray River water and also from sites with various land use types scattered throughout the upper River Torrens catchment. Sediment accumulation rates in the Gumeracha Weir appear to have increased in the last 50 years. A major source of sediments in Gumeracha Weir is the River Murray, via water being diverted into the river through the Mannum-Adelaide pipeline. A second important source, associated with high silica sediments deposited in high energy flows, originated from in the Torrens catchment. No single type of land use, (eg roads or pasture) could be identified as the source of these sediments. Through diatom analysis a history of changes in water chemistry was also established. The results indicate that there has been a significant increase in pH from approximately pH 7.6 units in samples pre-pipeline to an average of pH 8.4 units at present. The decline in Rhicosphenia abbrevata indicates that turbidity has also increased markedly since the commencement of River Murray water input. It was therefore determined that the divergence of River Murray water into the upper River Torrens catchment has consequently added to an increase in both sediment and nutrient concentrations of the River Torrens.

Abstract:
This item is only available electronically.
Tracking timber back to its point of origin is crucial in order to prevent illegal logging and preserve our natural forests. Stable isotope ratios can provide useful information on the geographic origin of trees due to differences based on surrounding environmental, climatic and geological conditions in which the plant grew. Thus isotope ratios of wood can provide a screening tool to assist in ruling whether timber comes from a legal or illegal source. In this study we analysed three light stable isotopes and one heavy stable isotope in order to develop a model able to propose a zone of geographic origin of Bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) in the Pacific Northwest of North America. Oxygen (δ18O), carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope ratios were measured in α-cellulose and whole-wood of Bigleaf maple sampled in 73 trees from four different states (California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia). In addition strontium (87Sr/86Sr) ratios of 10 trees were measured across this range. The relationships between these isotope ratios were examined based on geographic, climatic and geologic information in order to attempt to distinguish trees from different locations. To test the method, five blind samples were analysed to yield a proposed zone of origin. Carbon and nitrogen ratios did not show coherent geographic trends in this species across the sampled region. However, oxygen and strontium ratios revealed spatial patterns with distance from the coast and latitude. Using oxygen, blind test samples were able to be distinguished in some cases at a state level. We conclude that δ18O and87Sr /86Sr ratios provide the most promising methods for identifying latitudinal and longitudinal origin, respectively.

Abstract:
In accordance with the main goals of this collection of essays in honour of Massimo Quaini, the text focuses on a peculiar character of the Ligurian geographer’s sensibility, his attention to landscape protectionresearch activity developed in the context of the humanistic geography. Starting from a personal narrative based on his own reminiscences and neglected memories, the author tries to shed light on the relationships between civil commitment and cultural reflection which characterize environmental sensitivity, bringing together his interests with Quaini’s emotional geographies. Finally, some of Quaini’s everyday practicalities are highlighted as the easiest doorway to improve the cognitive procedures of cultural geography.

This article contains the text of an e-mail I received from Massimo Quaini in 2017. Through this mail he was answering to my invitation to participate in the fourth edition of “Dialoghi tra geografia e filosofia”, a ‘dialogic’ seminar I have been organizing since 2014 to enhance the discussion between geographers and philosophers. Due to his illness, unluckily he was unable to attend the conference but he wrote me an e-mail in which he invited me to write a book together, four-handed. This e-mail is one of the last documents ever written by Quaini: here we have many of his landscape ideas, as well as many thoughts on the identity and the future of geography, and much more. For this reason I thought making this mail public could be the best way to honour his memory.

Abstract:
Professional geographers use maps to reveal spatial patterns in their data and to seek correlations in those patterns, although they no longer always do so by the time-honoured method of simple visual comparison of distributions on a series of paper maps. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are founded on maps stored electronically. In most British geography departments, cartography has been distanced from geography. This chapter discusses the use of maps in geography, quantification and spatial science, maps and public policy in Britain, thematic mapping, compilation of atlases and reading of maps.
