Abstract:
In the papers collected in Man's Impact on the Hydrological Cycle in the United Kingdom Hollis gives us a fascinating view of the concerns and approaches of practising hydrologists in the late 1970s. Hollis, a physical geographer from University College London, spent most of his research career considering the way that humans acted to change their surroundings, looking first at the impact of urbanisation on flooding and later at the management of wetlands. The papers in this book cover a wide range of subjects, from the impact of forestry to the effects of house building on channel morphology and function. Many provide valuable reviews and insights into contemporary thinking on the effect of humans on the UK environment, and the modern reader will discover much of value in the ideas and approaches described in this book.

Abstract:
Physical geography is a process, conducted by people, of integration and synthesis of ideas and observations to advance scientific understanding of Earth’s surface and atmosphere and to apply this knowledge to the greater good of the planet and its people. Therefore, physical geography matters; that is, physical geography makes a difference to people and contributes to environmental decision making at various scales. Based upon presentations and discussion at the 2019 AAG Annual Meeting (see editorial above in this issue), we provide here a historical perspective and distillation of how and why, in our opinions, physical geography matters. Although we provide several specific examples, these represent only a small portion of the large body of excellent and relevant physical geography research.

Abstract:
Advances in the understanding of the nature and causes of multi-decadal precipitation and temperature variability in the western United States could assist stakeholder groups in their management and distribution of resources and personnel. The three studies undertaken in this dissertation address this issue of multi-decadal climate variability and its potential implications for user groups. In the first study, the relationship between ENSO conditions and winter precipitation in the Western U.S. is examined within the context of decadal-scale variability, as represented by phasing of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Spatial inconsistencies in the ENSO-precipitation relationship, commensurate with PDO phase shifts, are identified, taking the form of a 'dipole' signature across the Western U.S. This finding has implications for the knowledge of uncertainty of ENSO teleconnections, and may prove meaningful for users of climate information throughout the region. In the second study, the reliability of fall season ENSO conditions as a predictor of Western U.S. winter circulation anomalies is shown to vary depending on the phase of the PDO pattern. During the PDO cold phase of 1948-1976, fall season El Nino events tended not to precede the expected winter troughing pattern over the West, while during the PDO warm phase of 1977-1998, fall season El Nino conditions were a more reliable predictor of winter circulation anomalies over the Western U.S. Fall season La Nina conditions during both the cold and warm phases of the PDO generally correlated well with the occurrence of wintertime high-pressure ridging centered off the Pacific coast. These results highlight uncertainty on multi-decadal time scales surrounding the use of ENSO conditions as a seasonal climate forecast tool. In the third study, the spatio-temporal variability of spring season minimum temperatures in the western United States is examined as a function of multi-decadal Pacific climate variability for the period 1925--1994. Variations in minimum temperature patterns, as determined by a principal components-based regionalization analysis, indicate a significant statistical relationship between March and April minimum temperatures and an index of the PDO. These results have implications for an improved understanding of multi-decadal climate dynamics across the West, including growing season length and intensity.

Cin, Mustafa. "The influence of direct experience of the physical environment on concept learning in physical geography." Thesis, Durham University, 1999. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4480/.

Full text
Abstract:
This investigation examines the relationship between children's direct experience of the physical environment and their conceptual understanding of it. In order to determine the extent of the influence of the physical environment on understanding, two groups of children living in different geographical environments were selected and their perceptions and understanding of the selected physical features related to their immediate surroundings were compared. The children's ideas about the features selected were examined using a number of research techniques. The results tended to support the central assertion of the study that the physical environment has an influence on children's conceptual understanding. The data also showed that the children held a number of alternative conceptions about their near and far environment prior to the experience of formal instruction. The relevance of these conclusions for geographical education is presented. Suggestions are made to improve the quality of teaching and learning in physical geography. Fieldwork, hardware models, simulation activities and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are suggested for use as teaching approaches. The significance of the conclusions in the context of Turkish geographical education are also considered.

Abstract:
The World Bank estimated that 1.4 billion people in the world were living in poverty in 2008. In the last several decades, many countries have succeeded in not only reducing the number and percent of people living in poverty, but also increasing overall economic strength. Yet, while some countries have succeeded, many others have not. This unequal growth has led to newer development theories that include the importance of geography and the physical environment. A leading researchers in this field, Jeffrey Sachs, argues that geography and physical ecology, along with some economic indicators are responsible for this difference in success. This research tests the theory that was suggested by Sachs. Spatial statistics techniques were used to analyze these theories with new methods and shed new light on the variables. Results showed that certain variables (coastal population, proximity to a major market) were not as significant in development, when regional differences were accounted for. However, other variables, particularly malaria and consumption, were very significant. In addition, testing variables regionally provided much better results than previously-used global models. Lastly, the results were used to analyze outliers. The outliers helped to discuss other important variables and pave the way for future research.

Amante, Christopher Joseph. "Consideration of Elevation Uncertainty in Coastal Flood Models." Thesis, University of Colorado at Boulder, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10844867.

Full text
Abstract:

Digital elevation models (DEMs) are critical components of coastal flood models. Both present-day storm surge models and future flood risk models require these representations of the Earth’s elevation surface to delineate potentially flooded areas. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) develops DEMs for United States’ coastal communities by seamlessly integrating bathymetric and topographic data sets of disparate age, quality, and measurement density. A current limitation of the NOAA NCEI DEMs is the accompanying non-spatial metadata, which only provide estimates of the measurement uncertainty of each data set utilized in the development of the DEM.

Vertical errors in coastal DEMs are deviations in elevation values from the actual seabed or land surface, and originate from numerous sources, including the elevation measurements, as well as the datum transformation that converts measurements to a common vertical reference system, spatial resolution of the DEM, and interpolative gridding technique that estimates elevations in areas unconstrained by measurements. The magnitude and spatial distribution of vertical errors are typically unknown, and estimations of DEM uncertainty are a statistical assessment of the likely magnitude of these errors. Estimating DEM uncertainty is important because the uncertainty decreases the reliability of coastal flood models utilized in risk assessments.

I develop methods to estimate the DEM cell-level uncertainty that originates from these numerous sources, most notably, the DEM spatial resolution, to advance the current practice of non-spatial metadata with NOAA NCEI DEMs. I then incorporate the estimated DEM cell-level uncertainty, as well as the uncertainty of storm surge models and future sea-level rise projections, in a future flood risk assessment for the Tottenville neighborhood of New York City to demonstrate the importance of considering DEM uncertainty in coastal flood models. I generate statistical products from a 500-member Monte Carlo ensemble that incorporates these main sources of uncertainty to more reliably assess the future flood risk. The future flood risk assessment can, in turn, aid mitigation efforts to reduce the vulnerability of coastal populations, property, and infrastructure to future coastal flooding.

Abstract:

Detta arbete har utförts under 10 veckor och har resulterat i en gemensam digital karta över Falun, Borlänge och Säters kommun. För att lyckas komma fram till resultatet har jag utfört en rad analyser av ingående data, och likriktat data så att framställandet av en gemensam karta blivit möjligt. Arbetet har varit indelat i två delar, insamling och likriktning av data samt kartografisk anpassning av data. Den första delen av examensarbetet har tagit upp den största delen av tiden, medan betydligt mindre tid lagts på den kartografiska anpassningen. Data som använts har samlats in från kommunernas primärkartor, Lantmäteriets fastighetskarta samt Vägverkets Nationella vägdatabas (NVDB). Programvaran FME från Safe Software har varit ett mycket bra verktyg för att likrikta data, och har använts i stor omfattning. De rutiner för uppdatering av data som föreslagits, har också tagits fram med denna programvara som grund. För att studera och kontrollera datas utseende har ArcGIS från ESRI använts. ArcGIS har dessutom utnyttjats för den kartografiska anpassningen. Den framtagna kartan gör inga som helst anspråk på att vara topologiskt korrekt, även om topologin i vissa avseenden beaktats. Fokuseringen har legat på att få fram en tydlig och enkel karta, som efter mindre justering skall kunna användas av olika intressenter förutom Räddningstjänsten DalaMitt. Exempel på dessa intressenter kan vara andra verksamheter inom kommunen såsom gatukontoret, eller externa intressenter som önskar en gemensam karta för sin verksamhet.


This project has been carried out during 10 weeks, and has resulted in a common digital map containing the municipalities of Falun, Borlänge and Säter. To reach the desired result I have had to carry out a number of analyses on the ingoing data, and standardize the data to make the completion of a common map possible. The project has been divided into two large parts, collection and standardization of data, and cartographic adaptation of data. The first part has demanded most time, while considerably less time has been spent on the cartographic adaptation. Data that has been used was collected from the municipalities’ primary maps, the Swedish Land surveying’s parcel map and the Swedish National Road Administration’s National road database (NVDB). The software FME from the manufacturer Safe Software has been a very helpful tool to standardize data, and has been used in a large scale. The routines for updating the data that is suggested, has also been developed with the software. To study and control the look of data, the software ArcGIS from ESRI has been used. ArcGIS has also been used for the cartographic adaptation. The developed map doesn’t claim to be topological correct, even though the topology has been considered in some ways. The focus has been to develop a map that is clear and simple, and that after minor adjustments can be used by other actors other than the Rescue Service of Dala-central. Example of these actors can be other activities within the municipalities, such as the street offices, or external actors who wish to use a common map in their activities.

Heyman, Jakob. "Glacial geology of Bayan Har Shan, northeastern Tibetan Plateau." Licentiate thesis, Stockholm University, Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-7507.

Full text
Abstract:

The paleoglaciology of the Tibetan Plateau is still largely unexplored, despite its importance for regional and global climate reconstructions. In this thesis a comprehensive glacial geological record is presented from an extensive part of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau centred on the Bayan Har Shan. Glacial reconstructions for this region range from restricted mountain glaciers through the intermediate-size regional-scale Huang He ice sheet to a plateau-scale Tibetan ice sheet. To provide a robust basis for glacial reconstructions, this thesis provides conclusions based on two principle methods, remote sensing and field studies. The remote sensing of a 90 m resolution digital elevation model and 15- and 30 m resolution satellite imagery renders a detailed data set with complete spatial coverage of large- and medium-scale glacial landforms, and large-scale plateau geomorphology. Observations from fieldwork campaigns add detailed point information for the distribution of glacial deposits. Geomorphological glacial traces such as glacial valleys, glacial lineations, marginal moraines, meltwater channels, and hummocky terrain occur frequently in elevated mountain areas, indicating former alpine-style glaciations. Glacial deposits in the form of till, erratic boulders, and glaciofluvial sediments are common in areas with mapped glacial landforms, but also beyond, in areas lacking large-scale glacial landforms. For extensive plateau areas in-between formerly glaciated mountain blocks, there is a striking absence of glacial landforms and sediments, indicating that these areas, perhaps, never were ice covered. Interestingly, glacial deposits occur further away from the mountain blocks than the large- and medium-scale glacial landforms, indicating insignificant erosion beneath the maximum ice covers close to their margins.

The large-scale geomorphology of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is characterised by a low-relief plateau surface with glacial valleys in elevated mountain blocks and marginal steep V-shaped valleys. This geographical distribution indicates a dominance of glacial erosion in the elevated mountain areas and a dominance of fluvial erosion along the steep plateau margins, dissecting a relict plateau surface. The outline of the relict plateau surface mimics the proposed outline of the Huang He ice sheet, suggesting that the inferred ice sheet may represent a misinterpreted relict surface with scattered glacial traces.

In conclusion, the glacial geology examined in the Bayan Har Shan region is consistent with paleo-glaciers of varying extent restricted to elevated mountain areas. Even though extensive icefields/ice caps were centred on discrete mountain areas, there is no indication that these ice masses merged but rather that they were separated from each other by unglaciated plateau areas. The presented glacial geological record will be used in further studies towards a robust paleoglaciological reconstruction for the northeastern Tibetan Plateau.

Arfeuille, Gilles. "Modelling the interannual variability of the Arctic sea ice cover." Thesis, McGill University, 1998. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=21505.

Full text
Abstract:
A thermodynamic-dynamic sea ice model based on the granular material rheology of Tremblay and Mysak is used to study the interannual variability of the Arctic sea ice cover during the 41-year period 1958--1998. The sea ice model is coupled to both a mixed layer ocean model and a one-layer thermodynamic atmospheric model. The model is first run with monthly climatology for most of the thermodynamic and dynamic forcing components to obtain a stable periodic seasonal cycle. For the 41-year run, the monthly wind stress forcing is derived from analyzed sea level pressures from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP Reanalysis) data. The atmospheric thermodynamic forcings are based on monthly climatology.
In this thesis we explore the high-latitude sea ice circulation and thickness changes due to year-to-year variations in the wind field. We focus our study on the interannual variability of the sea ice. volume in the Arctic Basin, and the subsequent changes in the export of sea ice from the Arctic Basin into the northern North Atlantic via Fram Strait.

Full text
Abstract:
The relationship between the Arctic and sub-Arctic sea-ice concentration (SIC) anomalies, particularly those associated with the Greenland and Labrador Seas' "Ice and Salinity Anomalies (ISAs)" occurring during the 1960s/1970s, 1970s/1980s, and 1980s/1990s, and the overlying atmospheric circulation (SLP) fluctuations is investigated using the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) analysis methods. The data used are monthly SIC and SLP anomalies, which cover the Northern Hemisphere north of 450 and extend over the 38-year period 1954--1991.
One goal of the thesis is to describe the spatial and temporal variability of SIC and atmospheric circulation on interannual and decadal timescales. Another goal is to investigate the nature and strength of the air-ice interactions. The air-ice interactions are investigated in detail in the first SVD mode of the coupled variability, which is characterized by decadal-to-interdecadal timescales. Subsequently, the nature and strength of the air-ice interactions are studied in the second SVD mode, which shows a long-term trend. The interactions in the third SVD mode which has an interannual timescale are briefly mentioned. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full text
Abstract:
In 1959, the Bureau of Reclamation proposed a channelization project through the Cibola Valley along the Lower Colorado River. The project entailed rerouting the river through a dry cut in order to lower groundwater levels in the Palo Verde Irrigation District upstream, thereby improving irrigation drainage. In conjunction with this, Cibola National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1964 to mitigate the effects of habitat loss from the channelization project. Aerial photographs of the Cibola Valley were analyzed for 1959, and vegetation community types were determined. A vegetation type map was developed for 1959 and compared with vegetation type maps for 1976 and 1986. Between 1959 and 1986, a lowering of the water-surface level in some parts of the refuge resulted in the draining of some lakes and the creation of slow-moving backwaters. Cottonwood-willow and marsh communities saw a significant reduction in area while the salt-cedar community saw rapid growth.

Abstract:
Three-dimensional cartographic resources are an important tool in the teaching of Physical Geography and other Earth Sciences. They are also able to help the students to reach a better understanding of the natural landscape. The objective of this work is to design appropriate 3D didactic resources to facilitate the teaching of the landforms in the Higher Education context. These didactic materials have been prepared by using Geographic Information Technologies (GIT). These graphical materials have been created with specific GIT tools, but they can be used by teachers and students with standardized sotfware (Google Earth, Adobe Acrobat Reader or image viewers). Specifically, files with topographical and geological information have been prepared to work with Google Earth. The digital elevation models (DEM) can be viewed in three-dimensional files in 3D PDF format. This work also proposes the creation of photo-realistic images with thematic information draped with the DEM in isometric perspective. Finally, 3D models have been made from the application of photogrammetric techniques so that can be seen in stereoscopic mode as an alternative to the traditional techniques. In conclusion, all these 3D didactic materials proposed in this work showed a great potential as complementary resources in the teaching and learning of Physical Geography and other Earth Sciences.

Abstract:
Within the development of new regional geography, the role of human geographic research in the study of regions is emphasized. Regional uniqueness, a consciousness of belonging to a particular region and regional identity also play an important role in the definition of regions. However, physical geography disciplines, e.g. geomorphology, can also contribute to the knowledge of these aspects with regard to the definition of regions. Currently, within the framework of geomorphology, attention is paid to the diversity of anthropogenic landforms. The knowledge and evaluation of these anthropogenic landforms, which are an important part of the historical elements of the landscape and are also referred to as cultural artefacts of the landscape, enables to supplement the cultural-historical values of the region and to specify the cultural identity of the region. On the example of sites – Staré Hradisko and Hostýn – we will present the specifics of secondary geodiversity with respect to the cultural identity of the sites.

Wollentz, Gustav. Increasing future awareness in the cultural heritage sector using the SoPHIA model. Department of Cultural Sciences, Linnaeus University, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.15626/fkh.kv.2023.01.

Abstract:
This report presents results from a project that aims at increasing future awareness in the cultural heritage sector, using the SoPHIA model. The project was run by the Centre for Applied Heritage at Linnaeus University, with funding from the university. Work on the report was carried out in2021 and 2022 by NCK (The Nordic Centre of Heritage Learning and Creativity AB) under the direction of Gustav Wollentz, in co-operation with Kalmar County Museum, Jamtli Museum, andDaniel Laven from the Department of Economics, Geography, Law and Tourism at Mid Sweden University. Results from the project show that the model succeeded in exploring possible future effects of a heritage intervention, defined as any action that results in a physical change to an element of a historic place, and related these effects to prioritized issues for societal development, such as participation, inclusion, and wellbeing. It managed to expand the range of potential action in the present. Furthermore, it also provided a useful tool for identifying significant areas where there is the potential to think more innovatively and creatively regarding future change and effects. The model helped in identifying the necessary steps and actions needed for realizing the interventionin accordance with a desirable scenario. The model failed in anticipating long-term futures or futures radically different from the present. It mostly provided insights into how the intervention could have an impact upon future change, but not on how future change would have an impact upon the intervention. Ways of adapting the model for increased future awareness are suggested.These include ways to make the model more suitable for anticipating long-term futures as well as futures of radical change.

Abstract. The article dwells upon the Earth remote sensing data as one of the basic directions of Geo-Information Science, a unique source of information on processes and phenomena occurring in almost all spheres of the Earth geographic shell (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, etc.). The authors argue that the use of aerospace images by means of the information and communication technologies involvement in the learning process allows not only to increase the information context value of learning, but also contributes to the formation of students’ cognitive interest in such disciplines as geography, biology, history, physics, computer science, etc. It has been grounded that remote sensing data form students’ spatial, temporal and qualitative concepts, sensory support for the perception, knowledge and explanation of the specifics of objects and phenomena of geographical reality, which, in its turn, provides an increase in the level of educational achievements. The techniques of aerospace images application into the modern school practice have been analyzed and illustrated in the examples: from using them as visual aids, to realization of practical and research orientation of training on the basis of remote sensing data. Particular attention is paid to the practical component of the Earth remote sensing implementation into the modern school practice with the help of information and communication technologies.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: “How is the concept of physical literacy characterized in older adults?”. P – People in their older adult years. C – Physical literacy. C – Any context. Eligibility criteria: Studies will be assessed for inclusion in the review according to the following criteria: Study Design: We will only include studies that investigate the physical literacy throughout older adult life. This includes primary research (peer-reviewed research arti-cles), evidence synthesis (narrative reviews, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, rapid re-views, etc.), conference abstracts, discussion articles, editorials, and thesis. We will not limit the included studies by the sample size of the study. Outcomes: We will include studies examining outcomes under the concept of physical literacy, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Study Population and Additional Characteristics: We will only include studies where the study population meets the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) "Aged" characteristics: A person 65 years of age or older. We will not limit included studies by their ethnicity, country of origin, economic characteristics, or geographic region. We will limit the studies included by publication date to those published since 2001, since Whithead's physical literacy concept was first described in that year [22]. We will limit included studies to those published in English, Spanish and Portugueses.
