Eighty to 90 % of contacts demonstrate the validity of the functional unit concept: the winter quarter is divided into separate geographical sectors (the F. U.) exploited by distinct groups. Individuals of a group use the same diurnal roost, fly out
A set of 50 1:50,000 scale Ordnance Survey maps which cover the entire coastline of Ireland, and a single 1:850,000 scale map are used to perform a divider dimension analysis over step lengths from 100 m to 10 km (using the 1:50,000 scale maps
) and 17 km to 170 km (using the 1:850,000 scale map). The coastline is divided into 39 stretches and a divider dimension analysis is performed on each. A variation of divider dimension is found as the coast in traversed, with the dimension tending
Estimating fractal dimension with the divider method in geomorphology
In order to investigate sources of error in using the divider method to estimate the fractal dimension of geomorphic phenomena, the divider method is applied to two river channel traces, a topographic contour line and a coastline. Three sources
Three main phases of ice-movement pattern in South Norway during the Weichselian are reconstructed. During phaseIII (possibly of Middle/Late Weichselian age) had an easterly situated ice divide. During phaseIV (Preboreal age) the ice divide had
moved back to the West and had partly fragmented into separate domes. The migration of the ice divide from West to East may be due to glacier surges, whilst the ice-divide migration from phaseIII to IV was probably a result of a general reduction in size
Geopolitical imaginations across the North-South divide : issues of difference, development and power
In the context of development and the will to be modern, the paper explores key elements of power and representation across the North-South divide. Taking examples from US- Latin American relations, it emphasizes the continuity of geopolitical power
This paper divides the volcanic landforms into 4 grades according to formation, morphology, annd ingredient of matter. Lava cones are divided into 2 types based on the force of top-support and the fluid form of magma : the arc-projecting type
and spring-spilling type. Furthermore, the courses of development of volcanic landforms are divided into 3 stages according to the form and strength of volcanic activities.
United or Divided ? Die Welt im Informationszeitalter
L'A. étudie les échanges d'informations liés à la mondialisation. Après avoir discuté le terme de division numérique (digital divide), il s'interroge sur les ségrégations et phénomènes d'exclusion liées à l'accès aux nouvelles technologies de
Fluvial geomorphology and semiotics : a Wittgensteinian perspective of the divide between human and physical geography
This paper presents a broadly realist, pragmatist view of geography, drawing on the work of Wittgenstein to consider the role of language in the divide between human and physical geography. It is suggested that there may be commonalities between
Sediment transport across a tidal divide in the Danish Wadden Sea
The aim of this study is to examine the spatial and temporal variation of water and sediment transport across a tidal divide in the Danish Wadden Sea. This is exemplified by 2 low-energy and 2 high-energy case studies selected from a 2-month
Confronting the data-divide in a time of spatial turns and volunteered geographic information
The article examines the influence of geography and its potential for addressing the data-divide through the example of a facilitated VGI data collection initiative collected public health-related injury data in Cape Town, South Africa
, the techno-social revolution in geospatial technology and data. Future work should continue to examine their potential to address the data-divide.
Exploring the intraurban digital divide using online restaurant reviews : a case study in Franklin County, Ohio
