The Young Geographers And Their Research: 1936–1943*

The Young Geographers, an informal organization of American geographers, flourished from 1936 to 1943. One of its projects in 1940 and 1941 was the compilation and publication of lists of contemplated research by some 170 Young Geographers. Their listed research interests were relatively narrow in subject and geographical area. The successor of the Young Geographers was the American Society for Professional Geographers which merged with the Association of American Geographers in 1948 under a democratic constitution which assured that young geographers and their research would be recognized.

第二届中日韩青年地理学家国际学术研讨会在日本熊本举行

Sponsored by the Association of Japanese Geographers （AJG） and jointly undertaken by the Geographical Society of China （GSC） and the Korean Geographical Society （KGS） and Kumamoto University, the Second Japan-Korea-China Symposium of Young Geographers was held at Kumamoto University in Japan on October 2-5, 2007. It was a successful continuation after the First China-Japan-Korea Symposium of Young Geographers launched by the GSC and held at Beijing Normal University in China on September 16-18, 2006. The 2007 project was also completed with the aid of Professor Murayama Yuji, from University of Tsukuba and the Kumamoto International Convention and Tourism Bureau.     

GEOGRAPHERS IN GOVERNMENT

Geographers are working in federal, state, and local government agencies in many diverse positions. Historically and presently, geographers have held key policy positions in government agencies. In recent years the employment base for geographers in government has been broadened. Geographers working in government generally must have a pragmattic outlook that enables them to do the tasks assigned regardless of how geographical those assignments may be.

山体基面高度对欧亚大陆东南部林线分布的影响——山体效应定量化研究

根据收集到173个林线数据,采用纬度、经度和基面高度的三元一次方程拟合欧亚大陆东南部林线分布,计算各自的标准回归系数和贡献率,以此来确定山体基面高度(山体效应的简明表达形式)对林线分布高度的影响。结果表明,纬度、经度和山体基面高度对林线分布高度的贡献率分别为30.60%、26.53%、42.87%。以北纬32o为界线,对其以北、以南区域也分别进行了分析,基面高度的贡献率达到24.10%和39.11%。分析不同尺度和区域山体基面高度作用于林线的贡献率不难发现:在欧亚大陆东南部以基面高度代表的山体效应对于林线高度的影响显著,明显地超过了纬度和经度。基面高度的作用受气候条件和海陆位置影响较小,不论大陆内部或沿海,基面高度分异对山地垂直带分异的影响都相对独立和稳定。该结果定量地表明了山体效应对林线分布高度的重要作用。

Historical Auckland on foot

Abstract:  This paper discusses three walking tour guides prepared for the 12th International Conference of Historical Geographers. It argues that the guides are innovative in terms of format, content and ironic sensibility. It construes them as devices for re-imagining Auckland's urban heritage.     

Net deficits and the case for aquacultural geography

Summary The crisis in capture fisheries has placed an increased onus on aquaculture to supply the world fish demand. The advancing role of culture relative to capture fisheries has precipitated environmental and socio-economic transformations. Geographers have paid scant attention to these developments. This paper provides a literature review and proffers a research agenda for aquacultural geography.     

Selected Recent Maps And Atlases

The following statement was presented at the annnal business meeting of the Association of American Geographers, held at Miami Beach on April 25, 1962, by then-President Gilbert F. White. The report summarizes his views on major Association events occurring during his term of office.     

国际地理联合会2006年区域会议在布里斯班举行

The IGU-2006 Brisbane Conference was convened on 3-7 July 2006 in Queenland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. Approximately 1000 geographers from nearly 50 countries and regions participated in the IGU-2006 Brisbane Conference, which was spon…     

Creating a thinking space for the rising stars of Australian urban geography

The Institute of Australian Geographers Urban Study Group and Australian Geographer present the first essay in our Leading Insights/Thinking Space partnership. We discuss Dr Natalie Osborne's 2018 essay, flag Dr Marilu Melo's 2019 essay and talk about creating a thinking space for the rising stars of Australian urban geography.     

Public Intellectualism as Assemblage

This article responds to Alderman and Inwood's call for geographers to engage in public intellectualism. Geographers have long been underrepresented among the ranks of public intellectuals, even as the discipline has fostered many and diverse traditions of robust critical explanation. The lens of assemblage theory on civic engagement efforts in Athens, Georgia, offers insight into how a democratically inclined public intellectualism might be temporarily achieved.     

Distance Decay Values And Shopping Center Size

The question of what lies ahead is of particular concern for Latin Americanists. The last decade has witnessed a serious erosion of both the popularity of their specialty, and an equally troublesome reduction in employment opportunities. This paper uses Association of American Geographers (AAG) data bases to document the age-gender structure of contemporary Latin Americanist geographers, and projects likely compositional changes through the end of the century.     

North American Geographers and the Pacific Rim: Leaders or Laggards

The ascendance of the Pacific Rim is an indisputable global happening. North American geography, a logical leader in the study of this high profile phenomenon, has lagged behind other disciplines in Rim-focused research. This article argues in favor of a heightened Rim awareness, surveys recent publications, suggests promising Pacific Rim research directions, and proposes how the Association of American Geographers can help promote Rim studies.
