142. I B Notes General notes on IB geography http://www.geographyjim.org/i_b_notes.htm

Population Geography Population Geography is the study of spatial variations in distribution, density, composition and growth of human numbers on earth. It is important because it links all other aspects of geography together. Demography Demography is the study of population characteristics. It is significant because There are more people living today than any other time in history. There's been a population explosion since World War 2. There is an inverse relationship between population growth and resources i.e. there are too many people in places without enough resources to support them and too few people in areas with over abundant resources Thomas Malthus Thomas Malthus, was a British Clergyman/economist. He came up with the Malthusian Theory of Population Growth. The salient points of his theory were Food production increased at an arithmetic ratio (1, 2, 3...) while population increased at an exponential ratio (1, 2, 4, 8...). Population growth would outstrip food supply, and mass starvation would follow.

143. SocioSite: PECULIARITIES OF CYBERSPACE: INTERNET USE(ERS) Academic paper giving analysis of the geography and demography of the Internet. By Albert Benschop of the University of Amsterdam. http://www2.fmg.uva.nl/sociosite/websoc/demography.html

Home Subject Areas Suggestion? Internet Use(rs) Albert Benschop Cyber Geography International How many people? How much information? ... References Cybergeography We used to live in a local world that was divided into geographically demarcated units, like home, office, street, cafe, train, rugby field, or dancing. The internet age seems to have blurred any geographical structure. Yet, the virtual reality of the internet has its own particular geography. It is a geography which is built out of networks and nodes which transport information flows which are created and controlled on special locations. Cyberspace as such is no tangible space, but the information processes which constitute this space are embedded in the local world with brick-and-mortar rooms and hard-wired computers. The information space of the internet is constituted by connections between computers and networks of computers. So internet is not a monolytic or placeless 'cyberspace', but rather a series of new technologies that are used by millions of people on different places of the local world. The technical geography refers to the telecommunications infrastructure of the internet, the connections between the computers that organize internet traffic (routers), and the distribution of the internet's broad bandwidth. Through a myriad of possible routes every node of the network is connected to every other node. The USA used to play a central role in the connections between the countries. The technical structure of the internet was highly concentrated round the USA, but this hegemony has been diminished by the emergence of new powerful nodes (hubs and routers) in other areas of the world, particularly in Europe. The strategic differences between the countries are declining. The highly USA-concentrated structure of the technical geography is gradually replaced by a technical dependency between the metropoles of the world.

145. Elanora Heights Primary School - Information - Liffey School project about the River Liffey in Dublin compiled by students from Elanora Heights Primary School. Illustrates how a local river can be used as a focus for studies of local culture, geography, and environmental issues. http://www.iol.ie/~ndnsp/rivers/liffey1.htm

Computer Co-ordinator : Judith Bennett : This page was received from the Elanora Heights Primary School on 22nd Mar, 1996 The reports come from the students of Gerard Maloney of the North Dublin National School Project , Ireland. The Liffey River, Dublin, Ireland Location The river Liffey is the main river in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. It rises in Sally Gap near Kippure in Wicklow, the county just south of Dublin. It then travels one hundred and twenty five kilometres through the centre of Dublin City, and out into Dublin Bay, and out to the Irish Sea. There are lots of bridges along the Liffey such as the Ha'penny bridge so called because it used to cost half a penny to cross it, and O'Connell bridge. The last bridge on the river is a toll bridge called the East Link , which is four hundred metres from the mouth of the Liffey. Tadhg O. THE LIFFEY BRIDGES On the river Liffey there are 16 bridges.The first is the Anna Livia Bridge. THE ANNA LIVIA BRIDGE The Anna Livia Bridge was originally named Chapelizod Bridge, but it changed on 5th April 1982 and became the Anna Livia Bridge in honour of James Joyce, author of the world famous novel "Finnegan's Wake". He called the river Anna Livia Plurabelle.The bridge is built on an ancient Ford site on the old highway leading to the west of Ireland.

153. PBS - The Voyage Of The Odyssey - Track The Voyage - Kiribati Transcript of a travel log by a reporter on a scientific program. Details obsevations of Howland Island, with descriptions of the geography and bird life. Include audio files. http://www.pbs.org/odyssey/odyssey/20001204_log_transcript.html

Odyssey Logs - Search by Region Atlantic Ocean Mediterranean Sea ... Meet the Crew A view of Howland Island from the 'crow's nest' of the Odyssey. Photo: Chris Johnson December 4, 2000 At Howland Island Real Audio Log Transcript We have arrived at Howland Island. It would be hard to imagine a smaller, flatter, more featureless place. It's kidney shaped, with its longest axis only 1½ miles, and an average height above sea level under 25 feet. To expose those 25 feet, however, the base rises through more than three miles of water, so that the island is just the very top of a 16,000 foot, underwater mountain. It looks as though any serious storm surge accompanying a typhoon would sweep unobstructed across it. (Typhoons are what people out here in the western Pacific call hurricanes) but equatorial latitudes don't experience typhoons or hurricanes, so perhaps that never happens. At our anchorage and from the deck of the Odyssey there is no visible sign of human occupation save a short, low stone wall. From the mast, however, we can see that it's a flat bulldozed plain of coral sand, without a single tree and with what appear to be bits of ruins scattered over it. Howland does have one notable feature, however, and it's visible several miles away: a solitary, painted tower reminiscent at a distance of a tombstone. It's called the Amelia Earhart beacon. Its complete isolation and loneliness underlines, poignantly, the loneliness of her ocean perishing. The National Parks service is making strong efforts to prevent the importation of foreign species to Howland Island, and they take elaborate precautions to make sure that no one brings in insect eggs, or plant seeds on their clothing. So after years of exploitation and neglect, Howland has a new policy: in Amelia Earhart's day everything that could be done to facilitate her arrival from foreign parts was done. Now everything that can be done to prevent arrivals from foreign parts is done. But I support that policy: it makes excellent biological sense. Howland Island has become a particularly clear example of how humanity sometimes changes its priorities for the better in but a single human lifetime.

156. Egypt: Nubia In Modern And Ancient Times History of Nubia from ancient times to the present, plus essays on the geography of Nubia, its political divisions and names over time, and its culture and traditions; from TourEgypt. http://touregypt.net/historicalessays/nubia.htm

Nubia Nubia is located in today's southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The modern inhabitants of southern Egypt and Sudan still refer to themselves as Nubians. They speak the Nubian language as well as Arabic. Thousands of Nubians from the north were forced to relocate from their endangered homelands to be resettled in Egypt and Sudan. This land has one of the harshest climates in the world. The temperatures are high throughout most of the year, and rainfall is infrequent. The banks of the Nile are narrow in much of Nubia, making farming difficult. Yet, in antiquity, Nubia was a land of great natural wealth, of gold mines, ebony, ivory and incense which was always prized by her neighbors. Nubia is the homeland of Africa's earliest black culture with a history which can be traced from 3100 BC onward through Nubian monuments and artifacts, as well as written records from Egypt and Rome. The land of Nubia is a desert divided by the river Nile. For want of water and rich soil, most of Nubia has never been able to support a large population for long periods. However, some of Africa's greatest civilizations emerged here, centers of achievement whose existence was based on industry and trade. Because they did not write their own languages until very late in ancient times, we know these centers and their people largely through their archaeology and what the Egyptians and Greeks said about them.

159. Is Geomorphology Within Geography Or Geology? Extended discussion of the question whether geomorphology is a subdiscipline of geology or of physical geography. http://main.amu.edu.pl/~sgp/gw/gggeo/gggeo.html

Is Geomorphology within Geography or Geology? by GEOMORPHLIST I N T R O D U C T I O N E D I T O R I A L Question Date: Fri, 22 May 1998 11:05:26 -0600 (CST) To: geomorph-l@ttacs6.ttu.edu From: Paul R. Larson larson@edu-suu-scf.sc.suu.edu Subject: geomorphology as a field of study I have a question for everyone. What do you say to the geologists who claim that there is no longer a need for the study of geomorphology, that it is nothing more than physical geology? Our school is in the process of a semester conversion, and the geomorphology course was a casulty of the process. Geology dropped it, but I was successful in adding it to the geography curriculum. There seems to be no small degree of antipathy toward the subject among the geologists here on campus. So, I wondered how others have handled the question. Thanks, Paul R. Larson Paul R.
