The study depends on analyzing the map of Egypt’s energy balance of non-renewable and renewable energy, including oil, gas, solar, and wind energy, using UN-Energy Balance of Egypt data and the global solar and wind atlases of Egypt. It demonstrates that in 2020 Egypt’s production of fossil fuels is 89.03% of the total energy production, while renewable energy production is only 10.97%. More specifically, fossil fuel consumption is 97.8% of the total consumed energy, while energy consumption from renewable sources is 2.2%. Therefore, this study recommends that further studies should be conducted to explore ‘hybrid’ energy sources to solve Egypt’s energy crisis and to preserve the environment through clean energy sources, such as using green hydrogen and working on reducing emissions from fossil fuels. It is also recommended that there is value in employing GIS and RS applications to estimate the potential of renewable energy across the map of Egypt, and to present this information to possible investors who could expand the development of clean energy sources.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44194574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their careful siting often took into account local hydrology, topography, and economic demand, attesting to the important place they held in premodern and early modern societies. This paper highlights the significance of Paul Bishop's work on mills over the last 20 years, which revealed that numerous historical watermills along Scottish rivers were closely located near overly steep stretches of river to maximize waterpower and minimize cost. Termed ‘knickpoints’, many of these steep erosional features formed thousands of years ago during and after melting of the British–Irish Ice Sheet. Post-glacial isostatic rebound caused rivers to erode into bedrock at rates set by river catchment size and sediment availability. Although bedrock knickpoints along the Scottish coast are relatively stable over human timescales (<103 years), knickpoints generated by milling in England have been invoked as potential hazards due to their potential to migrate over similar timescales. Bishop's observations on the colocation of knickpoints and watermills encouraged a more comprehensive investigation of the relationship between natural and human systems over the last 250 years and invited re-evaluation of prevailing narratives for the history of water technology and patterns of water-powered industrialization in Britain.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47501818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that boredom enacts an ethically and politically ambivalent detachment from the demand to act that accompanies urgency-imbued vocabularies of crisis and emergency. Whether boredom is a refusal to face climate change, or a way of coping with and inhabiting the overwhelming, being bored with climate change allows existing attachments to fossil-fuelled lives and futures to continue. The event of climate change is ‘suspended’, in the sense that it is no longer affectively present. I distinguish this relation of ‘climate change suspension’ from two other ways of detaching from the event of climate change – ‘climate change denial’ and ‘climate change delay’. Unlike in denial or delay, in suspension the demand of climate change is held in abeyance, not ended. It returns in ways that blur the line between boredom and other affects. In conclusion, I reflect on the affective politics of climate change, and wonder about how boredom could become part of a progressive politics of climate change.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":"139 1","pages":"133 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41650416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This suite of moraines, now within the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area, records oscillatory retreat of the grounding line of (one or more) large outlet glaciers receding from the open waters of the Minch into the fjords of Loch Broom and Little Loch Broom at the end of the last (Weichselian / Devensian) glaciation. The moraines, probably the best-studied examples in UK waters, formed by a combination of pushing, dumping and/or squeezing of sediment at the grounded tidewater glacier front. Their absence in some basins suggests that the glacier front was un-grounded (partially floating) in areas of deeper water. Some of these seabed moraines can be connected to ice-sheet moraines onshore, assigned to the Wester Ross Readvance, and dated to ca. 15.5 ka BP. Geomorphological evidence strongly suggests that the whole sequence represents relatively slow and punctuated ice-front retreat over a period of decades to centuries. Continued protection of these rare and distinctive seabed moraines is important, both on geological and ecological grounds. The moraines represent the first underwater Scottish Landform Example in this long-running series.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":"139 1","pages":"20 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47717220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review I highlight the importance of positionality when focusing on disability research. In particular I focus on how my positionality resulted in emotions that were read as anger and bitterness. Drawing on Audre Lourde’s The Uses of Anger, this position piece argues that my response to disablism experienced by people with dwarfism is anger. This anger, not only helps to prevent feelings of pity, but is an emotion that can help to foster change. This anger is often in response to the long held belief that dwarf entertainment is somehow an appropriate occupation for people with dwarfism, which is rarely challenged. Lastly, this piece also responds to the critique of only including female participants. Again, this choice was informed by my positionality as a woman with dwarfism who was sexually assaulted by a potential participant. This position piece demonstrates that the researcher's positionality can evoke particular experiences from the research, which can also provoke certain emotions, such as anger.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":"139 1","pages":"238 - 241"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47236289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
