2.4 Place attachment Essentially, the term place attachment refers to ‘affective bond’ between people (individuals or group) and a significant environment, which is developing over time (Scannell and Gifford, 2010). However, due to ‘the proliferation of concepts and measurements proposed for characterising emotional bonds between humans and places’ (Manzo and Devine-Wright, 2014, p. 125), place attachment has a diversity of definitions. These definitions, however, remain scattered in the…

Introduction Humans have an enormous impact on our global environment. For centuries human activity has always been known to disturb the earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere. As we 've growth we made our footprint in our world environment. We alter more than 50% of the world land (Stromberg, 2013 ). One of the most arguable questions is when did human influence on the earth global environment began? There have been multiple studies suggesting different way discover this answer, but the most…

There is a steadily growing consensus that recent human activity has had such an impact that it has shifted the Earth into a new geologic epoch of our own making. The advent of this epoch, known as the Anthropocene, has generated much discussion and tension between the various science disciplines. The major issue being discussed is whether there is a need for a new era covering the last three centuries of human impact on the planet. Defining this epoch, in terms of both time and space, has also…

Geologic time periods are often signified by a definite end or beginning event. For most, they end after a catastrophic event such as a volcanic eruption or asteroid collision. For the newest proposed time period, the anthropocene, things may be a little more blurry. There are many factors that may signal the beginning of a new epoch, but no one piece of evidence can say for sure if a new period should be defined or when this period would start. The author, Jan Zalasiewicz’s research has focused…

Introduction Postulated to be the result of either a long-runout landslide, or a structural pop-up, the Poverty Hills present a unique problem in the geologic community. Located on the western-most edge of the Basin and Range Province in eastern California (Fig.1), and within the Owens Valley basin, flanked by the Sierra Nevada and Inyo/White mountain ranges to the west and east, respectively. The hills are of particular interest as they represent an unusual combination of lithologies,…

It is interpreted to extend southwards into the United States below the Williston basin and extends northeast into Nunavut and northern Quebec wrapping around the Archean Superior craton (Ansdell, 2005). The THO is the end result of the closure of the Manikewan Ocean (Stauffer, 1984) which resulted in the formation juvenile crust which was eventually accreted onto the Archean Superior and Hearne cratons as well as a number of smaller cratons including the Sask Craton (Lewry et al.,1994). The…

GEOLOGIC SETTING AT OUTCROP The rocks of the Wilberns Formation have a very involved history. Today, the Wilberns outcrops are found in the Llano uplift region of central Texas, the most prolific Wilberns outcrops are to the west of the Llano uplift area (Bell and Barnes, 1972, p. 28). The Llano uplift area is a geologically complex region of central Texas (fig. 3). Precambrian metamorphic and plutonic igneous rocks mostly dominate the Llano region. The uplift brought Cambrian Wilberns rocks to…

studying a variety of landscapes in order to succeed in my future career. Learning mapping at the University of St. Andrews would provide the knowledge and skills to create geologic maps throughout my career, whether I am reading the landscape to understand past geological environments as an archaeologist or using technology to map landscapes for future use as a soil conservationist. Field camp is not only an opportunity for field training, but also a chance to meet new people and experience a…
