Book Description
Volume 33 of Geographers Biobibliographical Studies adds significantly to the corpus of scholarship on geography's multiple histories and biographies with six essays on individuals who have made major contributions to the development of geography in the twentieth century. This volume focuses on European geographers, including essays on individuals from Britain, France and Hungary. These are individuals who have made important and distinctive contributions to a diverse range of fields, including cartography, physical geography, oceanography and urban theory. As with previous volumes, these biographical essays demonstrate the importance of geographers' lives in terms of the lived experience of geography in practise.

Canadian Geography
Author: Thomas A. Rumney
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810867184
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 801
Book Description
Canadian Geography: A Scholarly Bibliography is a compendium of published works on geographical studies of Canada and its various provinces. It includes works on geographical studies of Canada as a whole, on multiple provinces, and on individual provinces. Works covered include books, monographs, atlases, book chapters, scholarly articles, dissertations, and theses. The contents are organized first by region into main chapters, and then each chapter is divided into sections: General Studies, Cultural and Social Geography, Economic Geography, Historical Geography, Physical Geography, Political Geography, and Urban Geography. Each section is further sub-divided into specific topics within each main subject. All known publications on the geographical studies of Canada—in English, French, and other languages—covering all types of geography are included in this bibliography. It is an essential resource for all researchers, students, teachers, and government officials needing information and references on the varied aspects of the environments and human geographies of Canada.

Structuring Observational Data for Markov and Semi-Markov Models in Geology
Author: William Christian Krumbein
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Observational data may be structured in various ways for estimating transition probabilities in Markov models. These normally involve taking observations at fixed intervals in time or space. For some studies it is more meaningful to make observations at irregular intervals that correspond to natural division points in the phenomenon studied. In this latter case semi-Markov models are appropriate. Although Markov properties are present in many geological phenomena, stratigraphic data are particularly useful for illustrating three aspects of data collection that are emphasized here: (1) the equal interval approach, in which questions of optimum spacing arise; (2) irregular spacing related to actual rock boundaries such as top and bottom contacts of lithologic units that make up the section; and (3) hierarchical spacing in which the individual beds that make up the lithologic units are the objects of interest. These three ways of collecting data are used on the same stratigraphic section to bring out these differences in approach. The problem of optimum spacing in method (1) is examined; and the more severe problem of adequate operational definitions of bed thickness measurement from subsurface borehole records. (Author).

Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Geographers is an annual collection of studies on individuals who have made major contributions to the development of geography and geographical thought. Volume 39 celebrates the contribution of Hugh Clout to the discipline. The thirty-ninth volume of Geographers Biobibliographical Studies adds significantly to the corpus of scholarship on geography's multiple histories and biographies; each chapter includes a select biography of its chosen figure, and a brief chronology of their work. In this edition Hugh Clout memorialises the forgotten, those who had made an important local contribution which went unnoticed on the national stage, or those who continued along the intellectual path blazed by one of the discipline's major figures and thus helped to secure the reputation of that major figure. In this collection of essays, Clout draws from used literary works, reviews in the scholarly and other press, obituaries in newspapers and geographical publications, funeral orations and papers in a large number of archives. Each study includes a select bibliography and a brief chronology. The work includes a general index, and a cumulative index of geographers listed in volumes published to date. As with other volumes in the series, the purpose is not to evaluate, but to present individuals and their contributions as they really were and in the context of their time. Published under the auspices of the International Geographical Union.
