  • The interplay of race, socioeconomic status and neighborhood residence upon birth outcomes in a high black infant mortality community

    Open AccessCatherine Kothari, Rajib Paul et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2016

    This study examined the interrelationship of race and socioeconomic status (SES) upon infant birthweight at the individual and neighborhood levels within a Midwestern US county marked by high Black infant mortality. The study conducted a multi-level analysis utilizing individual birth records and census tract datasets from 2010, linked through a spatial join with ArcGIS 10.0. The maternal population of 2861 Black and White women delivering infant…

  • Use of cartographic images by expert and novice field geologists in planning fieldwork routes

    Kathleen M Baker, Andrew C Johnson et al.ARTICLECartography and Geographic…2015Cited by: 1References: 2

    Topographic maps and aerial photographs are particularly useful when geoscientists are faced with fieldwork tasks such as selecting paths for observation, establishing sampling schemes, or defining field regions. These types of images are crucial in bedrock geologic mapping, a cognitively complex field-based problem-solving task. Geologic mapping requires the geologist to correctly identify rock types and three-dimensional bedrock structures from…

  • Risk, wealth and agrarian change in India. Household-level hazards vs. late-modern global risks at different points along the risk transition

    Open AccessSarah Jewitt, Kathleen M Baker et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2012

    The global poor often prioritise immediate hazards of food insecurity over temporally more distant risks like global warming. Yet the influence of socio-economic factors, temporal and spatial distance on risk perception remains under-researched. Data on risk perception and response were collected from two sets of Indian villages. Participatory approaches were used to investigate variations by socio-economic status, food security, age and gender. …

  • Spatial Signatures of Mapping Expertise Among Field Geologists

    Kathleen M Baker, Heather L Petcovic et al.ARTICLECartography and Geographic…2012References: 3

    Geologists consider field mapping skills necessary for the development of expertise in geology. We discuss the results of a day-long geology mapping exercise in the Tobacco Root Mountains, Montana, USA. Sixty-seven volunteer geologists, chosen specifically to represent a continuum from novice to expert, were asked to create a map of bedrock geology for approximately 70 square hectares. In order to identify and assess field mapping strategies, GPS…

  • Evaluating 35 years of Green Revolution technology in villages of Bulandshahr district, western UP, North India

    Kathleen M Baker, Kathleen Baker et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2007

    This paper analyses the experiences of over 35 years of Green Revolution (GR) technology in villages of the Bulandshahr District, western UP. Fieldwork in three villages revealed that perceptions of GR were extremely positive because higher yields brought food security for all in the area, and financial security for many. Indirect benefits, such as urban development, have improved employment opportunities – which have benefited even the poorest –…

  • Transfer of Taiwanese ideas and technology to The Gambia, West Africa: A Viable Approach to Rural Development

    Open AccessKathleen M Baker, Richard Louis EdmondsARTICLEGeographical Journal2004Cited by: 8References: 15

    The development of Taiwan's agricultural sector contributed significantly to the country's transformation from virtual poverty after World War II to a modern industrial nation. Success resulted from the use of appropriate technologies, developed through an exceptionally close working relationship between government, research and development institutions, extension services and farmers in Taiwan. As part of their overseas development aid programme…

    Gerald Blake, Graham Chapman et al.ARTICLEGeographical Journal1993Cited by: 2

    CROSS REF DEV STUDIES Both Africa and the Middle East have sought alternatives to Western models of development. The last twenty-five years have seen political independence for the states of Africa and increased economic dependence on external aid. The Middle East, resource rich and water poor, continues economically robust but politically unstable. In both regions, widespread poverty continues as does the involvement of the West.Clearly illustra…
