O Caminho dos Diamantes no século XIX: Uma análise do mapa histórico de 1847

Percebe-se, na conjuntura atual que, com o desenvolvimento das geotecnologias desde o século XX, as ciências geográficas adquirem uma nova possibilidade de métodos de análise espacial. Os estudos de Cartografia Histórica, voltados para a análise de materiais cartográficos históricos/antigos podem fornecer uma nova fonte de dados para trabalhos e pesquisas científicas. Além disso, também permitem recriar mapas antigos, inserindo nos mesmos um maior rigor de precisão espacial, possível pelo desenvolvimento de novas ferramentas de informática e geoprocessamento. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar a demarcação do Caminho dos Diamantes (importante trecho da Estrada Real) e aferir a precisão cartográfica do mapa histórico do Caminho dos Diamantes de 1847, de João José da Silva Teodoro, com o auxílio do software MapAnalyst.

Why geographic data science is not a science.

“Data Science” has taken many disciplines by storm. And for a good reason: New forms and unseen quantities of data enter nearly every scientific field, substantially changing the ways how scientists do science, and potentially allowing them to answer old questions or to pose them in novel ways. The recent success of Data Science is also reflected in corresponding study programs and curricula and the emergence of specialized branches, such as Geographic Data Science (GDS). Some researchers, therefore, claim that Data Science and GDS should be treated as autonomous scientific disciplines, while others fear that it sells nothing but old wine in new bottles. In an attempt to sober the discussion, we investigate GDS and Data Science from the perspective of meta‐science. We provide arguments why today's GDS and Data Science should be seen as an interdisciplinary community of practice of data‐driven scientists, rather than a scientific discipline. We also discuss what is missing for GDS and Data Science to become genuine scientific disciplines.

MÚLTIPLAS LINGUAGENS NA PRODUÇÃO DO SABER GEOGRÁFICO ESCOLAR

A proposta apresentada para a participação da mesa-redonda que se intitulava “múltiplas linguagens na produção do saber geográfico” se caracteriza por apresentar práticas docentes relativas a diversas experiências de situações de aprendizagens, nas quais se utiliza distintas metodologias, estratégias, instrumentos de trabalho no ensino da ciência geográfica na educação básica. Para a concepção de produção do saber geográfico baseou-se nos conceitos de aprendizagem situada e raciocínio geográfico. Estes conceitos se aproximavam do que este professor pensa sobre as práticas pedagógicas, e o faz refletir ainda mais sobre como os alunos deveriam ser estimulados para pensar o espaço geográfico, associando a isto diversas linguagens para que fosse feita a leitura e interpretação socio-espacial. As principais atividades pedagógicas foram: leitura, interpretação e produção de imagens, mapas, gráficos, textos; cinema e produção de vídeos e filmes; estudos do meio/trabalho de campo; atuação em teatros e filmes; atividades com músicas (leitura, escuta, interpretação e produção); utilização dos recursos tecnológicos como Google Maps, Google Earth e Waze; e atividades interdisciplinares com professores de outros componente curriculares. Por fim, verificou-se as múltiplas linguagens na produção do saber geográfico escolar, nas quais o professor desenvolveu seu trabalho pensando na aprendizagem situada e no raciocínio geográfico, dando ênfase as dificuldades e anseios dos alunos, de forma contextualizada.

Interfacial Vibrational Dynamics of Ice Ih and Liquid Water.

Insights into energy flow dynamics at ice surfaces are essential for understanding chemical dynamics relevant to atmospheric and geographical sciences. Here, employing ultrafast surface-specific spectroscopy, we report the interfacial vibrational dynamics of ice Ih. A comparison to liquid water surfaces reveals accelerated vibrational energy relaxation and dissipation at the ice surface for hydrogen-bonded OH groups. In contrast, free-OH groups sticking into the vapor phase exhibit substantially slower vibrational dynamics on ice. The acceleration and deceleration of vibrational dynamics of these different OH groups at the ice surface are attributed to enhanced intermolecular coupling and reduced rotational mobility, respectively. Our results highlight the unique properties of free-OH groups on ice, putatively linked to the high catalytic activities of ice surfaces.

Quelle approche « réaliste » de la montagne en géographie : l’exemple des bourrelets de marge passive

La montagne constitue un objet incontournable de la géographie mais, au même titre que d’autres objets, elle oppose, une approche offrant des éléments de description et d’explication fondés sur une représentation réaliste et avant tout géologique à une autre plus récente prenant en compte les représentations des populations. Pour la géographie enseignée mais aussi pour l’usage qui en est fait d’un point de vue législatif en France avec la Loi montagne, l’approche réaliste domine. La question est de savoir si celle-ci, qui fonde une approche normative de la montagne est toujours valide au regard des avancées scientifiques les plus récentes. Les bourrelets de marge passive, montagnes emblématiques de la géographie physique, sont ici envisagés à titre d’exemple d’un type de montagne à partir d’une analyse approfondie de la littérature scientifique. Deux points en ressortent : la mise en place récente de ces montagnes, comme toutes les montagnes à la surface de la terre, et la variété de leur évolution. Mettre la science géographique en débat ici ne consiste pas à détruire son statut dans sa fonction d’action cognitive, notamment au service d’usages demandés par la société, mais de reconnaître les biais et les limites de certaines connaissances.

Pemahaman Hadis Doa Pengalihan Hujan Pendekatan Geografis Jakarta menurut Ali Mustafa Yaqub

This article will explain and analyze Ali Mustafa Yaqub’s hadith understanding on the hadith of transferring a heavy rain with a geographical approach. The author observes that there are still many problems of misunderstanding on this type of hadith that are apparent among Indonesian Muslim communities, especially the citizen of Jakarta when facing heavy rains and floods in early 2020. The geography science is not a source of Islamic law, but this science can be one of the instruments on understanding the hadith correctly. Based on the geomorphology of geography, the hadith prayer for transferring a heavy rain cannot be practiced by the Jakarta residents because that prayer will only cause floods in Jakarta due to heavy rain that came down in Bogor and return to Jakarta. Ali Mustafa offered a prayer for the citizens of Jakarta when facing heavy rain with the phrase "O Allah, send down a rain at the sea, not to us and around us". This kind of understanding is only applicable to the residents of Jakarta and other cities that have a form of land like Jakarta like Bekasi. For the cities which have landforms like Madinah can recite the prayer because it was indeed recited by the Prophet when heavy rains and floods occurred in the Medina.

In this article toponymics which occupies an intermediate positionin the system of geographical sciences and it’s study was the subject the reflection of nature and community relation in geographic names was investigated using concrete examples

A GEOGRAFIA ESCOLAR E O ENSINO DAS RELAÇÕES ÉTNICO-RACIAIS: APONTAMENTOS A PARTIR DO CURRÍCULO REFERÊNCIA DO ESTADO DE GOIÁS

This article aims to present a discussion on the teaching of ethnic-racial relations in school geography from the Reference Curriculum of the State of Goiás. 16 years after the implementation of law 10639/03, which obliges the teaching of African history and Afro-Brazilian culture in basic education, we are still faced with the silencing of school institutions in the face of an anti-racist agenda and the lack of pedagogical and conceptual training of teachers to deal with the issue. In this sense, we question how the teaching of geography has contributed to the teaching of ethnic-racial relations and how the learning objectives established in the Reference Curriculum of the State of Goiás make this approach possible. In addition to teaching practices at school, we discuss as presented in the Reference Curriculum of the State of Goiás the expectations of learning in the context of Geography for citizen and “inclusive” training The debate on the importance of geographical science in respecting differences and in dealing with racial relations is a way to build critical geographical thinking and mobilizing social justice.

AS MARCAS DA COLONIALIDADE: RAÇA E RACISMO NA PRODUÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO GEOGRÁFICO

The text on screen aims to situate the categories of race, racism and race relations within the theoretical matrix of Geography. Our intention is to propose some possibilities for the interpretation of race relations in Brazil from a geographic analysis. We are convinced that the ethnic-racial issue is one of the many possible themes to be covered by the analytical leather of geographic science, mainly because it is possible to detect the record of this debate in the vast literature produced throughout the historical process of formation of geographical thought in particular in Geography literature produced during much of the 20th century in Brazil and worldwide.

Extreme weather and climate events in China under changing climate.

In the summer of 2003, a heat wave swept Europe and caused more than 70 000 additional fatalities [J.-M. Robine et al., C. R. Biologies331 (2008)]. Global warming and climate change is no longer a prophecy to be fulfilled, as strong heat waves and typhoons, as well as severe rainfalls, are becoming more severe. Extreme weather and climate events in the world, especially over Europe and North America, are widely studied and frequently reported in the media. These events may be related to the ongoing climate change. In this NSR forum, active researchers specialized in this field gather to discuss the climate and weather changes in China. They present the current changes, identify knowledge gaps, discuss the research difficulties, and propose ways forward to better serve the society with climate science.
