Physical Geography and Earth Science
G eography has a strong link to the natural sciences through physical geography and earth science. Courses that may be offered in these fields include climatology, meteorology, oceanography, geomorphology (landforms), soils, biogeography (distribution and ecology of plants), zoogeography (distribution and ecology of animals), and natural resources. Courses in physical geography are important because they deal with earth processes that concern the human use of the earth. For instance, agriculture is dependent upon such physical processes as climate, weather, and the format on and erosion of soils.
Those with a good background in physical geography are well prepared to deal with problems of air pollution, water pollution, and the management and disposal of solid, toxic, and hazardous wastes. Physical geographers also study the impact of such natural hazards as hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic erupt ons, and earthquakes. Weather Forecaster Weather forecasting begins with a good understanding of climate, wind systems, and ocean currents. Forecasters must be familiar with local conditions and with weather events throughout the country. They study, predict, and report on everything from daily weather conditions to such dangerous phenomena as tornadoes and wind shear (updrafts and downdrafts of special importance to pilots). In addition to working for television and radio stations, weather forecasters work for the government and for large agribusiness corporations.. In addition to their background in geography, they should have studied earth science, physics, and some chemistry.

    The instructor is R. Gilbert, E101-102 MacIntosh Corry Hall (basement at the southwest corner of the building). Because the lectures are very full, we must move quickly and there is no opportunity for questions during lectures. However, students are welcome to come to my office and ask questions or discuss course content at any time from about 8:00 am to 5:00 pm except when other duties take me from the office. Appointments are normally not necessary. A face-to-face visit is almost always more useful and more complete than communication by email or telephone; if you try you will normally be directed to come to the office. If you have questions about tutorials and assignments, you should direct these to your teaching assistant. There are 15 lectures scheduled in the Earth System Science section of Geography 100. The timetable for these and for the tutorials and assignments is found in the Timetable The material below provides the outline for each lecture, some of the important terms and concepts, and a list of required readings. You should examine each outline before the lecture and you should do the reading before the lecture too Otherwise you may find the pace in the lectures too fast.

    CHAPTER 16
    THE NORTHLANDS
      T he United States is in many ways a creation of a frontier experience. The push westward remains part of recent American history, and many still live who remember the days of early settlement, of the often heroic struggle with the land. The American frontier is largely gone today. Although humans presumably have the technology to live anywhere on the earth's surface, those areas of the United States that can be occupied with moderate physical and economic effort are already staked out. Extending as far south as the northern Great Lakes states and including the interior to the Canadian border, as well as parts of Alaska, the Northlands ( Map 15 : 19K) remains sparsely settled. The inhospitable nature of the physical environment plus the consequent thinness of settlement give the Northlands its special character. A HARSH ENVIRONMENT Not only are winter temperatures low across most of the region, but winters are long. The average time between the last frost in the spring and the first in the fall is roughly 135 days at the southern margins of the area but little more than 14 days along parts of the Arctic Ocean. Because virtually all major food crops need a growing season of longer than 90 days, they can be grown in only a few small areas along the southern margins. Summers, generally short and cool, can have surprisingly warm days. Maritime moderation is significant only along the peripheries, mainly in the east and west.

    http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/gina/carto.html
    Cartography and Geographic Information Systems A geographic information system (GIS) is simply a database of information about natural and man-made geographic features such as roads, buildings, mountains... These systems can be used for making maps, but also for analyzing data e.g. for facility location. There has been some communication between the geometry and GIS communities (e.g. geographer Michael Goodchild gave an invited lecture on "Computational Geography" at the 11th ACM Symp. Comp. Geom. ) but more could be done to bring them together. Geographic problems already visible in the geometry community include interpolation of surfaces from scattered data , overlaying planar subdivisions, hierarchical representations of terrain information, boundary simplification, lossy compression of elevation data (e.g. by using a piecewise linear approximation with few facets), and map labelling. Other interesting geometric issues include handling of approximate and inconsistent data, matching similar features from different databases, compression of large geographic databases, cooperation between raster and vector representations, visibility analysis, and generation of cartograms (maps with area distorted to represent other information such as population). A particularly important geometric data structure in geographic analysis is the Voronoi diagram , which has been used for to identify regions of influence of clans and other population centers, model plant and animal competition, piece together satellite photographs, estimate ore reserves, perform marketing analysis, and estimate rainfall.

    Introducing the Ocean
    At one time the depths of the ocean were thought to be totally lifeless. But now scientists know that the whole of the ocean environment, down to the very greatest depths at more than 11 kilometres, is populated by living organisms. The oceans provide about 170 times as much living space as all of the Earth's other environmentssoil, air and fresh waterput together. The floor of the deep sea may harbour many times more species than these other environments. In this session we will examine the general characteristics of the oceansgeography, sea water, temperature and currents.
    NASA
    The Earth from space. The dominance of the oceans, and why the Earth is called the 'Blue Planet,' becomes obvious from this viewpoint. The oceans cover two-thirds of the Earth's surface to an average depth of almost 4 km and to an extreme depth of more than 11 km. Life on Earth almost certainly evolved in the ocean and the whole ocean environment, down to the very greatest depths, is populated by living organisms. The shape of the ocean basins The Problem of Pressure The weight of air in the earth's atmosphere squeezes everything in it equally in all directions. This atmospheric pressure is at its maximum at sea level where it is almost one kilogram per square centimetre (by convention called 1 atmosphere). The weight of water in the sea also creates pressure, and because water is so heavy, the pressure changes rapidly by about one atmosphere for every 10m of depth. So the pressure at 100m depth is about 10 kilos per square centimetre, at 1,000m it is about 100 kilos and so on. It seems inconceivable that any deep-sea animal could withstand these crushing pressures, almost half a tonne on every square centimetre at the ocean's average depth of 4,000m. But the bodies of most marine animals are made up mainly of water and, because liquids are almost incompressible, the animals suffer very little from the effects of quite large pressure changes.

    Cycles and Patterns in the Biosphere
    Lecture : See chap 10. At this point in our study we are trying to combine the concepts and ideas we learned as almost separate topics in the earlier part of the book. We spend much time understanding the atmosphere, which helped us understand the classification of climates by Kšppen and the unique understanding by geographers on the distribution of these in the world. Kšppen had also introduced botany as part of his classification and we are now ready to see how much plants have modified the earth. We owe our modern atmosphere to the evolution of CO breathing plants. In fact living things on earth have also modified the atmosphere. To understand this we must understand the various cycles that move critical gases and minerals though the earth's systems of geo-chemistry and bio-chemistry. All the phenomena that geographers examine in the physical earth are affected by soils, landforms, water and plants. Geography and biology together create the filed of biogeography.

    Oceans of Water
    Oceans of Water deals with the at the investigation of some of the basic properties of the predominant element of the oceans - water. Water is not only present in oceans and rivers, it is also found in the atmosphere, in trees and animals (as part of the biomass ), in rocks - and in ourselves. Each second, our planet transforms huge quantities of water in different cycles, from liquid to gas, from liquid to solid, from solid to liquid, from gas to solid, from solid to gas. The Pacific Thunderstorm on this image involves several of these transitions. (NASA image, obtained from the Columbia Space Shuttle). But there is also plenty of water outside the Earth, in space. Recent research has shown that water is present in much larger quantities than thought before, both on the Moon, in the outer solar system, in the atmospheres of giant stars and in the interstellar clouds of dust and gas. The principal research areas proposed to the participants are:
  • Comparison of different geographic areas
  • Evaluation of satellite images
  • Detection in space of extraterrestrial water liquid and molecules
  • Investigation of the water in living organisms, as used by the industry, on Earth or in Space

Their development and maturation offers a fascinating climatologic study, a study which is intensified when one realizes the damage to life and property which can result with their advent. Climatologists are constantly seeking to better the techniques which they can use to sense the development of these storms and to track their path from their point of origin to landfall. Accurately predicting the course of these storms and providing adequate warning to those in the area of their potential swath is critical to saving both lives and property, as is proper personal and regional preparations for these devastating events.
