Portsmouth CBD has experienced land use change over time. Retail and commercial uses have moved to the inner suburbs and outer edge of the city, leaving behind underused land and empty buildings in the city center. The city has redeveloped Gunwharf Quays to attract shops and services back into the city center. While this has boosted the local economy, some argue it has made the city center less unique.

The River Zambezi floods of 2009 in Namibia displaced over 50,000 people from their homes and caused over $136 million in economic losses. Heavy rainfall led to river levels rising by 8 meters, inundating villages and agricultural land. Over 700,000 people, a third of Namibia's population, were affected. The floods demonstrated the local authorities' inability to respond adequately, with relief efforts hampered by poor coordination. International aid of $7 million was provided to help establish relief camps and address health and sanitation issues.

This document summarizes coastal erosion and management strategies in two locations in the UK - Highcliffe and Barton-on-Sea. At Highcliffe, erosion was causing damage to properties at a rate of 2 meters per year, so hard and soft engineering methods were used to hold the line, including rock armor, drainage systems, and cliff reshaping. These strategies are costly but protect valuable homes. In contrast, Barton-on-Sea uses managed retreat, allowing erosion and eventual formation of a protective platform. While initially losing land, this strategy is more environmentally sustainable in the long run by not disrupting sediment transport.

The document provides instructions for an activity where students create characters representing different air masses and place them on a map of the British Isles. They are told to shade each character according to the air temperature, add appropriate clothing, and symbols showing wind and precipitation. Students are then instructed to glue a map to their page, stick the characters in the correct locations, draw arrows indicating the direction of each air mass, and write descriptions of how each air mass affects the weather and climate.
This document summarizes key concepts in physical geography related to plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and case studies of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

A third case study summarizes the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China that killed over 70,000 people.
The document discusses climate change and its causes. It provides the following key points:
1) In 2008, 193 countries signed an anti-CO2 emissions treaty, except the USA and China. The USA did not believe in global warming under Bush, and China profits from natural resources.
2) The industrial revolution beginning in the 1800s caused a rise in CO2 levels and global temperatures.
3) Human activities like burning fossil fuels are major contributors to increased greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. This will have severe environmental and economic impacts worldwide if left unaddressed.
The document discusses the biosphere and the threats facing it. It defines the biosphere as the regions of Earth inhabited by living organisms, and notes there are 5 major biomes - aquatic, desert, forest, grassland, and tundra - which are further divided. It explains how the biosphere acts as a life support system and provides goods for humans. The major threats to the biosphere are deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Sustainable management of the biosphere's resources is important but faces economic, social, and environmental tensions.

Rupert Littlewood - building favelas presentation for #TMRGSMrs Coles
The lesson involves students building model favelas out of various materials to learn about Brazilian favelas. Students are assigned roles like builder, surveyor, and accountant and given a price list and materials budget to construct a waterproof favela with rooms for washing, cooking, and eating that can withstand wind. Their favelas will be judged based on success criteria and grades assigned. During the plenary, groups will report on their favelas and grades received, and next lesson they will provide feedback on how to improve their designs.

Jamie Buchanan-Dunlop Digital Explorer #TMRGS presentationMrs Coles
This document discusses the author's experiences learning and teaching geography through personal travels, technology, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in education. It mentions trips to Morocco in 2006 using a satellite phone, the Middle East in 2007 using data satellites, and creating a "teleport device" and website to share geographic experiences.
Anna Forshaw's #TMRGS presentation on decision makingMrs Coles
This document describes strategies for using layered decision making activities at Key Stage 4 to ensure student progression. It discusses increasing demands like interpreting a wide range of resources and skills. Layered decision making involves students being drip-fed information and having to assess and demonstrate progression through failure. It involves individual, paired, and group work in mixed ability settings using scaffolds to encourage evidence in responses. Roles are designated to encourage considering different stakeholders' perspectives. Questions are used to find out information and make inferences while linking concepts and using peer and self-assessment.
Deb Gostling's presentation for #TMRGS on making real world links between geography and architecture or urban design, redesigning cities and using google earth
1) The document discusses underachieving GCSE geography students and the potential role of executive dysfunction. It notes that executive functions like planning, organization and working memory are necessary skills for problem solving.
2) It provides examples of teacher complaints about students' disorganized work, inability to follow instructions, and lack of focus. These could potentially be signs of executive dysfunction rather than laziness.
3) The document argues that mild or moderate mental disabilities should be recognized and accommodated similarly to physical disabilities. Labeling symptoms rather than students could help target interventions to improve outcomes.
Shakespeare was a Geographer - so was Pythagoras (Jo Debens #TMRGS)Mrs Coles
This document discusses whether geography is considered a subject and highlights some of the key concepts and skills involved in geography. It notes that an geographer would deal with places, vocabulary, context, processes, analysis, relationships, interactions, management, problem-solving, conclusions, decision-making, practical skills, GIS, numeracy, literacy, and fieldwork. It also argues that famous historical figures like William Shakespeare and Pythagoras were essentially geographers in their analysis of places, landscapes, climate, and environments in their works. A number of extracts from literature are presented and analyzed from a geographic perspective.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
