From brownfields to brightfields
The reuse of brownfields for renewable energy development, commonly referred to as brightfields, has attracted growing attention as a strategy to remediate contaminated land, enhance energy security, and advance more equitable forms of development. While most research and practice have focused on the United States, this study examines the potential of brightfields in Indigenous communities in Canada. Drawing on a dataset of federally managed cont…
Experiment and innovation
The city of al-Raqqa in north central Syria rivalled early Baghdad in scale, and was briefly during the 'Abbasid caliphate the imperial capital of an empire stretching from North Africa to Central Asia. Now largely levelled the multifaceted Islamic cityscape is revealed by aerial and satellite imagery. It is at this site that the evidence of innovative Islamic industries has been revealed by excavations undertaken by the Raqqa Ancient Industry pr…
Corona Remotely-Sensed Imagery in Dryland Archaeology
Satellite remote sensing has seen some use in archaeological research, although its effectiveness has been restricted by the low spatial resolution and the high cost of available imagery. In 1995 the United States declassified 860,000 high-resolution Corona satellite photographs, acquired for intelligence purposes between 1960 and 1972. Corona offers global coverage with an emphasis on areas of strategic significance to the United States. The ima…
Discovering Networked Information in the Internet Age
As networked information resources are used ever more in higher edu cation, the requirement for subject-specific, quality-assured resource selection assumes greater importance. The UK's Joint Information Systems Committee has implemented the Resource Guide initiative in which seven subject-specific printed and web-based guides to electronic resources have been provided. The centralised coordination of the guides ensures consistency in resource aw…
Neolithic to Copper Age woodland impacts in northeast Hungary? Evidence from the pollen and sediment chemistry records
A 4.5 m sedimentary sequence collected from Sirok Nýrjes Tó in northeast Hungary reveals a record of environmental change from 10000 BP to the present day. Palaeoenvironmental analyses (pollen, charcoal, geochemistry and physical properties) of the sequence reveal an environment where parkland com posed of coniferous and broadleaved taxa existing at the start of the Holocene developed rapidly into deciduous broadleaved forest. From c. 8200 cal. B…

Prehistoric farming and the postglacial expansion of beech and hombeam
Küster (1997) has argued that human activity rather than climatic ‘deterioration’ has been responsible for the postglacial expansion of beech (Fagus sylvatica) and hornbeam (Carpinus hetulus) into the oak (Quercus sp.) woodlands of central Europe. We concur that climatic change plays a subordinate role to human activity in the establishment of these taxa, although we feel that the approach adopted by Küster overlooks important ecological and meth…
An Evaluation of the Use of Internet Sources as a Basis for Geography Coursework
Use of the Internet is proliferating rapidly, with mounting speculation as to the practical applications for teaching in higher (and other sectors of) education, yet few published or evaluated case studies are available. This paper explores the use of Internet sources on geography courses. For various academic, logistic and philosophical reasons that are discussed, students were not given full access to the Internet, but were exposed to a variety…
