{"title":"Are ‘free-flowing rivers’ a good idea? The challenge of removing barriers from our rivers","authors":"John Boardman, Ian Foster","doi":"10.1080/00167487.2023.2260219","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00167487.2023.2260219","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe removal of barriers from rivers is a controversial topic. Barriers come in many forms including weirs, dams, sluices and bridges. Mills are listed in the 11th-century Domesday Book and shown on early Ordnance Survey (OS) maps, often with their use marked ‘corn’, etc. So, what are the arguments for removing them? As this article shows, these relate to the creation of more natural flow regimes and the re-establishment of a connection between the river channel and the floodplain. The most obvious practical benefit is that migratory fish will find their upstream passage easier. The disbenefits are provision of access for invasive species and the loss of flood control structures. On the River Rother in West Sussex, UK, the release of sediments stored behind weirs is a potential ecological hazard. In Britain, few barriers have been removed and instead fish ladders have been installed. In the USA and Europe, dam removal is well advanced. The European Commission (EC, 2020) aims to achieve 25,000km of ‘free-flowing rivers’ by 2030 with a focus on removing ‘obsolete barriers’.","PeriodicalId":46568,"journal":{"name":"Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134969818","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}

For this study Esri’s ArcGIS StoryMaps (EASM) was selected, and this article explores three aspects of the approach of integrating EASM in regional geography teaching: ‘selecting materials’, ‘organising content’ and ‘preparing chapters’. The article reports on both the feasibility of using EASM in this way, and how it was tested then evaluated through a survey and interviews with 147 students and 15 geography teachers in a Chinese high school. From this, it is concluded that EASM can serve as valuable teaching resources: they are easy to organise and set up through ‘chapters’ that enable storytelling about the case. Further, they allow for problem-based teaching, which can help promote a teacher-centred to student-centred shift. The approach proposed here may be useful to educators who are interested in teaching with story maps.

It shows how what we term the ‘three golden principles’ – valuing theory, matching cases and reflecting on self – can be used to inspire and contribute to geographic thought and theory teaching. The article discusses the role of geographic theories in teaching and learning in higher education with reference to Tim Cresswell’s book Geographic Thought. It then describes a teaching experiment carried out with postgraduate students in a Chinese university that sought to establish the effectiveness of the three golden principles in practice. The article demonstrates how, under the guidance of the principles, students can develop their critical and creative thinking skills. It shows that these principles can enhance the integration of students’ scientific knowledge with everyday knowledge of geography and discusses the implications of this approach for geography teaching in China and elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":46568,"journal":{"name":"Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43518140","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}

The forest data were collected from the satellite digital images of the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) from 1984 to 2008 and Landsat Operational Land Imager (OLI) from 2014 to 2021. Data preprocessing preparation included employing a radiometric calibration to convert the images from radiance to Top Atmospheric Reflectance (TOA) in order to remove the cosine effect of different solar zenith angles. Next, a quick atmospheric correction (QUAC) was applied to remove atmospheric noise, particles, molecules and vapor from the data; then the basic equation of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was applied to extract the forest data for 98 samples taken from across the study area. The study shows that forest cover more than doubled during the survey period: in 1984, 9.1% of the study area was covered by forest, but by 2021 forest cover had increased to 18.4%. We discuss how this increase in forest cover is related to better forest management and preservation by the government and by improving the population’s environmental awareness.","PeriodicalId":46568,"journal":{"name":"Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46087823","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 article presents a compelling argument for using Sjöström et al.’s (2017) Vision III Scientific Literacy Heuristic (3-VSL) in critical geography and climate change education. Through classroom examples, the article shows how the 3-VSL framework can help explore two broad aims. First, the scientific, societal and justice-focused aspects of climate change education can all be captured within the 3-VSL. Second, the plurality of goals inside critical geography can also be considered, ranging from recognising climate change-related harms to engaging in socio-political action. The 3-VSL is argued to be a flexible and robust framework, aiding teachers and students in working for a more sustainable future.","PeriodicalId":46568,"journal":{"name":"Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43846109","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}
