Putting predictions in public: professional perspectives on the risks and benefits of changing wildfire warning systems
Unlocking context-aware mobile map adaptation
As maps have become indispensable for many of our everyday mobility activities, research on context-aware mobile map adaptation has become increasingly relevant. Empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the design of context-aware mobile maps is still underexplored, but increasing slowly. We report on a virtual reality study with 54 participants where we assessed mobile map adaptation for map-assisted navigation tasks. We manipulated environmen…
A framework for appraising the status of disaster resilience within the multi-hazard environment of coastal Bangladesh
Assessing sensitivity to climate-related disasters in the context of a developing country
Climate-related disasters have become a major threat to human civilization. Since many climatic hazards cannot be prevented, recognizing the underlying factors that render societies more vulnerable might facilitate pragmatic measures for minimizing the likelihood of disasters. With this impulse, the current study developed an innovative framework for appraising various societal attributes, the interplay of which potentially adds to the vulnerabil…
Assessing critical infrastructure resilience in terms of its service-providing capacity in coastal Bangladesh
A parsimonious approach to mapping climate-change-related composite disaster risk at the local scale in coastal Bangladesh
Lockdown lessons
We report the findings from two global panel “conversations” that, stimulated by the exceptional coronavirus pandemic of 2020/21, explored the concept of resilience in geographic science teaching and learning. Characteristics of resilient teaching, both in general and with reference to GISc, are listed and shown to be essentially what might in the past have been called good teaching. Similarly, barriers to resilient teaching are explored and stra…
Assessing ecosystem resilience to a tropical cyclone based on ecosystem service supply proficiency using geospatial techniques and social responses in coastal Bangladesh
Color Theory
Color theory includes several sets of ideas about how colors can or should relate to each other. Today, the use of color in maps is commonplace, a result of the increasing ease and economy with which map production technologies can create it. Fundamentally, the effective use of color in maps relies on a solid understanding of the human visual system and its particularities. Color is often described as being composed of three dimensions: hue, ligh…
The Search for Tactical Success in Vietnam
From 1966 to 1971 the First Australian Task Force was part of the counterinsurgency campaign in South Vietnam. Though considered a small component of the Free World effort in the war, these troops from Australia and New Zealand were in fact the best trained and prepared for counterinsurgency warfare. However, until now, their achievements have been largely overlooked by military historians. The Search for Tactical Success in Vietnam sheds new lig…

The Australian counterinsurgency campaign in the Vietnam war
From 1966 to 1971 Australia deployed the 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF) to the Vietnam War. Australia's involvement in the war took the form of a protracted counterinsurgency campaign. Counterinsurgency campaigns often consist of thousands of seemingly unrelated minor combat incidents. Military historians using traditional techniques can find it difficult to make sense from this plethora of contacts that, individually, may seem inconsequential.…
Embedding Research-Based Learning Early in the Undergraduate Geography Curriculum
This article considers the rationale for embedding research and enquiry skills early in the undergraduate geography curriculum and for making these skills explicit to students. A survey of 52 international geography faculty identified critical thinking, framing research questions, reflectivity and creativity as the most challenging research skills to teach early in the undergraduate curriculum. This article provides a range of practical examples …
Time Scarcity
Considerable policy action has focused on the social patterning of health, especially the health risks associated with low income. More recent attention has turned to transport, food systems, workplaces, and location, and the way their intersections with social position and income create health inequalities. Time is another dimension that structures what people do; yet the way in which time contours health has been neglected. This paper explores …
Applications of Signal Detection Theory to Geographic Information Science
Signal detection theory (SDT) is a framework used by psychologists to study decision making under uncertain conditions. While we often know a great deal about how different methodological choices can affect the outcome of an analysis, we know less about how information end users interpret and understand competing outcomes in the context of the decisions they are trying to make. We contend that such information would be useful and assert that SDT …

Experimenting with Active Learning in Geography
While some geographers have embraced active learning as a means to engage students in a course, many others stick to conventional teaching methods. They are often deterred by suggestions that it can be difficult to implement active learning where students have no prior knowledge of a subject, that active learning requires too much work of lecturers and students, and that there are significant institutional constraints to implementing active learn…
A Comparison of Animated Maps with Static Small-Multiple Maps for Visually Identifying Space-Time Clusters
Although animated maps are widely promoted as ideal vehicles for learning and scientific discovery, there has been little empirical work that demonstrates their relative effectiveness in relation to static small-multiple alternatives. In this article, we attempt to clarify the issues related to the potential of animation from an explicitly geographic perspective, but one that is also grounded in broader cognitive science and human-computer intera…

Developing a Geographic Visualization Tool to Support Earth Science Learning
This paper reports on the development and assessment of the EarthSystemsVisualizer (ESV), a geovisualization tool designed to facilitate learning about global weather. Our goals in designing ESV were to evaluate two exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) techniques, temporal brushing and temporal focusing,and to determine whether interactive geovisualization tools influence problem solving strategies, approaches to learning, and students' abili…
