Using adaptively coupled models and high-performance computing for enabling the computability of dust storm forecasting

Forecasting dust storms for large geographical areas with high resolution poses great challenges for scientific and computational research. Limitations of computing power and the scalability of parallel systems preclude an immediate solution to such challenges. This article reports our research on using adaptively coupled models to resolve the computational challenges and enable the computability of dust storm forecasting by dividing the large geographical domain into multiple subdomains based on spatiotemporal distributions of the dust storm. A dust storm model (Eta-8bin) performs a quick forecasting with low resolution (22 km) to identify potential hotspots with high dust concentration. A finer model, non-hydrostatic mesoscale model (NMM-dust) performs high-resolution (3 km) forecasting over the much smaller hotspots in parallel to reduce computational requirements and computing time. We also adopted spatiotemporal principles among computing resources and subdomains to optimize parallel systems and improve the performance of high-resolution NMM-dust model. This research enabled the computability of high-resolution, large-area dust storm forecasting using the adaptively coupled execution of the two models Eta-8bin and NMM-dust.     

Applying design thinking methods to ecosystem management tools: Creating the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Explorer

Ecosystem management (EM) requires new tools to facilitate stakeholder access to information and analysis, however these tools are often not perceived by stakeholders to be usable, useful, and salient to their concerns. This paper provides a case study which applies new participatory design methods, known as design thinking, to create an EM tool called the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Explorer. Both participating and non-participating stakeholders rated the usability of the resulting tool positively, and stakeholders who attended design workshops rated the perceived usefulness and salience of the resulting tool more highly than those who had not. Design workshop survey data found that the methods produced an environment of collaborative learning among participants, including diverse participants, authentic dialog, and creativity. Design thinking methods hold promise for the development of new tools which better respond to the needs of EM stakeholders.     

关于中国环境管理和资源利用的几点思考(英文)

这一评述总结2008年耶鲁大学中国的环境和资源利用问题研讨会的讨论重点,包括:1)保护地方利益和防止污染扩散的区域协调;2)建立环境特殊区,实行前瞻性的环境政策试验;3)加强环境和资源利用教育和能力建设;4)协调国内和国际环境合作关系;5)中国的环境决策中权力的制约与平衡。本文不打算对这些专题进行深入分析,而是强调西方环境管理经验和教训与中国的现实相结合的重要性。     

Teaching Topographic Map Skills and Geomorphology Concepts with Google Earth in a One-Computer Classroom

Teaching high-school geomorphological concepts and topographic map reading entails many challenges. This research reports the applicability and effectiveness of Google Earth in teaching topographic map skills and geomorphological concepts, by a single teacher, in a one-computer classroom. Compared to learning via a conventional instructional method, students learning with Google Earth do not have different geomorphological concepts development because both settings enable students to learn with similar static representation. However, students learning with Google Earth improve topographic map skills significantly compared to the conventional instructional method. This is because of the 3D landscape visualization and prior knowledge connections available with Google Earth.     

铜陵矿集区姚家岭锌金多金属矿床深部地质空间信息相关性数据挖掘

姚家岭锌金多金属矿床是长江中下游成矿带铜陵矿集区近年来新发现的特大型热液多金属矿床,矿床位于铜陵断隆区与繁昌断凹区的过渡部位,成矿过程受构造、裂隙和矿液运移模式等因素的控制。成矿作用分为多个阶段,矿床范围内蚀变作用强烈,蚀变类型复杂多样,矿化不均匀。当前大数据思维为地质研究开辟了新思路,采用全数据模式、从数据出发的大数据分析方法可以有效探索研究矿床。基于姚家岭矿床的钻孔数据,结合已有研究成果,创建深部数据挖掘范围,在该范围内采用反距离权重插值法建立姚家岭块体模型,然后选择三维欧式距离场及空间相关程度定量化分析对深部空间信息进行相关性数据挖掘。结果表明,姚家岭矿床的铅锌矿体、金矿体和铜矿体与二叠系栖霞组重叠超过50%,60%左右铅锌矿体与石炭系的空间距离在500 m以内, 80%左右金矿体和铜矿体与石炭系的空间距离在500 m以内。铅锌矿体与角砾斑岩和角砾大理岩的空间相关性最高,相关程度分别为40.37%和24.77%;金矿体与角砾斑岩的空间相关性最高,相关程度分别为13.76%和5.5%;铜矿体与角砾斑岩、角砾大理岩和角砾灰岩的相关性最高,相关程度分别为36.17%、16.51%和15...     

Synthesized Model of Geospatial Thinking

Since the National Research Council (2006) report Learning to Think Spatially formalized geospatial thinking, researchers and educators have recognized the importance of investigating and understanding geospatial thinking. Conceptual frameworks have been developed and applied to individual research projects. Although useful in these contexts and potentially extendable to other related inquiries, they also overlap and conflict with one another. Moreover, the separate frameworks are built on different constructs, resulting in a disparate rather than a cohesive theoretical foundation for geospatial thinking. This article synthesizes existing frameworks and generates a model that represents conceptual advances and provides a foundation for research question generation.

Not just for fun: Using cartoons to investigate geographical issues

Abstract:  Geography teachers have, for some time, acknowledged the value of cartoons as a means of fostering an appreciation and understanding of geographical issues. They have, however, often struggled to identify the range of instructional strategies that best facilitate their students' interpretation of this rich, yet quite diverse, form of cultural artefact. This article examines the development of cartoons as a form of political satire and social commentary, outlines the benefits derived from using cartoons as an instructional tool, and explores some of the cartoon-based teaching and learning strategies teachers employ to enhance the interpretative and communicative skills of students.
