Establishing a community of practice of researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and communities to sustainably manage environmental health risks in Ecuador
BACKGROUND: The Sustainably Managing Environmental Health Risk in Ecuador project was launched in 2004 as a partnership linking a large Canadian university with leading Cuban and Mexican institutes to strengthen the capacities of four Ecuadorian universities for leading community-based learning and research in areas as diverse as pesticide poisoning, dengue control, water and sanitation, and disaster preparedness. METHODS: In implementing curricu…
Geotectonic Hypotheses
The Triangulation of North America
FOR many years the triangulation of North America existed as a number of detached pieces. Most of the arcs have now been combined into a single system. In this respect the triangulation of North America has followed the usual method of development incident to this class of work. When the systematic survey of the coasts of the United States was begun about a hundred years ago, triangulation was extended from each of a number of astronomic stations…
Isostasy
Long Lines of Triangulation
HE report on the completion of the connection by triangulation between France and the island of Corsica, which was accomplished in 1925, is a very interesting and important piece of geodetic information. It is only a question of time when all islands which are contiguous to or within reasonable distances of other land will be connected by triangulation to make possible the correlation of maps, charts, and geographic information. M. Helbronner com…
Recent Advances in the Theory of Isostasy
Abnormal Densities in the Earth's Crust Disclosed by Analysis of Geodetic Data
THE first comprehensive test of the Theory of Isostasy was rhade by Hayford of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey,* when he used the latitude and longitude determined in the United States by astronomical observations and by direct measurements in the form of triangulation. Hayford assumed that, under each topographic feature, there is a deficiency of mass exactly equal to the mass of the feature, that the deficiency is confined to a laye…
The Earth's Crust and Isostasy
The Contributions of Geodesy to Geography
The determination of the shape and size of the earth and the location of places on its surface, referred to selected fundamental planes, are the geodesist's principal contributions to geography. The earliest geographers must have found it very difficult to carry on their operations, owing to lack of knowledge of the shape and size of the earth and of the true relative positions of the areas under investigation. A very good value for the size of t…
