Academic Performance Indicators for Departments of Geography in the United States and Canada

A common problem faced by geography departments, particularly during times of fiscal compression and mounting pressure for accountability, is how to compare themselves and their faculty with others. The recent revolution in bibliometrics provides a growing volume of data that can be used in benchmarking exercises. In this article, we assess the production and citation of journal articles and books by tenure-track and tenured faculty in selected U.S. and Canadian geography departments (n = 17) according to a set of readily derived and transparent performance indicators derived from publicly available data. Scopus was used to assess article production and citation; Google Scholar was used for book citation. Results point to significant heterogeneity in department characteristics, productivity, and citation of published work. The number of publications, citations, and h-Index scores among scholars in the sample (n = 369) is related strongly to academic age and subfield of enquiry (i.e., physical or human geography) but not—despite apparently marked differences in output and citations—to gender.     

台湾海峡及其邻近地区的地震海啸与海溢

台湾海峡及其邻区,历史上曾发生过多次海水暴涨。在剔除那些因台风暴雨而引起的海水暴涨外,本区自公元647年以来共发生9次,本文按其形成把它划分为地震海啸和地震海溢两种类型,通过对地质构造、震源机制和地球物理资料等方面阐述其成因条件。认为地震海啸可分布在台湾海峡内,而地震海啸只能分布在台湾东北部海域;在地震海溢中,震级(M)和它影响的距离(△)关系为:M=5.892+0.019△。
