Joy as subversive defiance
The argument of this paper is that the experience and performance of joy can be a radical and subversive act of pedagogical agency. Although joy may seem out of place and out of touch in academia given the increased surveillance and policing of what is being taught in the classroom, and neoliberal administrative structuring prioritising uniformity and outcomes at the expense of creativity, it is here, under this oppositional structure, where joy …
Statistical Measures of Income and Demographic Inequality from Underground Storage Tanks
In the United States, from 1989 to 2020, there have been more than 560,000 confirmed releases from leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs). As of March, 2022, there are nearly 540,000 active underground storage tanks (USTs) and nearly 60,000 LUSTs remaining to be cleaned up. These releases occurred from a universe of 2.5 million UST systems, storing petroleum or hazardous substances. LUSTs can contaminate surface water and groundwater, affectin…
“Snow Scenes”
Scholars are increasingly focusing on the cultural dimensions of climate, addressing how individuals construct their understanding of climate through local weather. Research often focuses on the importance of widespread conceptualizations of mundane everyday weather, although attention has also been paid to extreme weather events and their potential effect on popular understandings of local climate. This paper introduces the “Snow Scenes” project…
From the Airfield to the High Street
This paper explores the role of the United Kingdom’s National Meteorological Service, the Met Office (MO), in the early development (1945–65) of applied, and subsequently commercial, weather and climatological services in the United Kingdom. Through examination of archival records it shows how theoretical and technological developments led to the postwar expansion of services for the general public and new user groups, resulting in funding pressu…
What Happened to the Beverly Caribou Herd after 1994
The Beverly herd was one of the first large migratory herds of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) defined in northern Canada on the basis of annual return of breeding females to traditional calving grounds near Beverly Lake in Nunavut. In 1994, herd size was estimated at 276 000 ± 106 600 (SE) adult caribou, but monitoring was minimal from 1994 to 2007. The next calving ground survey in 2002 revealed that caribou densities ha…
Gordon Valentine Manley and his contribution to the study of climate change
British climatologist and geographer, Gordon Manley (1902–1980), is perhaps best known for his pioneering work on climate variability in the UK , for establishing the Central England Temperature series and, for his pivotal role in demonstrating the powerful relationship between climate, weather, and culture in post‐World War II Britain. Yet Manley made many contributions, both professional and popular, to climate change debates in the twentieth c…

Assessing the influence of the built environment on physical activity for utility and recreation in suburban metro Vancouver
These results suggest that walking for errands and leisure have a greater association with the built environment than other dimensions of physical activity
The Rise of Blame and Recreancy in the United Kingdom
The North Sea Flood of January 1953 was the largest natural disaster in UK twentieth-century history, accounting directly for 307 deaths on land alone. The event highlighted huge inadequacies in sea defences and disaster policy within the UK and the resultant Waverley Report formed the basis of modern UK disaster policy. Despite the lack of central government involvement in rescue efforts and the apparent non-existence of co-ordinated rescue plan…
Comparing circular and network buffers to examine the influence of land use on walking for leisure and errands
BACKGROUND: There is increasing interest in examining the influence of the built environment on physical activity. High-resolution data in a geographic information system is increasingly being used to measure salient aspects of the built environment and studies often use circular or road network buffers to measure land use around an individual's home address. However, little research has examined the extent to which the selection of circular or r…
Changes in the Seasonal Cycle in the Circumpolar Arctic, 1976-95
The Arctic is one region where the effects of global climate change are expected to be easy to observe. This study identifies regions in the circumpolar Arctic that have experienced similar changes in the seasonal cycle of temperature and precipitation over recent decades. Data from Arctic and northern nations have been compiled to form a new data set of over 1200 circumpolar Arctic climate stations. Changes in the seasonal cycle between two deca…
The Impact of Political Talk Radio Exposure on Attributions About the Outcome of the 1996 U.S. Presidential Election
This study investigates the media's potential to affect audiences' interpretations of news events. It compares perceptions of the causes of the 1996 presidential election outcome across four media consumption groups: listeners to the program of Rush Limbaugh, listeners to other political talk radio, consumers of mainstream news media, and nonconsumers of news media. Limbaugh listeners were more likely to discount substantive election explanations…
