ABSTRACT Paul Bishop began his undergraduate studies in the School of Earth Sciences at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia at a time when plate tectonics had begun to revolutionize our understanding of landscape evolution. His doctoral research on the late Cenozoic evolution of the upper Lachlan Valley in the Eastern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, required an integrated study of the combined impacts of Cenozoic tectonism, vulcanism and erosion in this region. His research interest in erosion, tectonism and landscape evolution in a variety of global settings persisted until he retired. Another influence early in his undergraduate career was working with a team of archaeologists excavating prehistoric sites in the Ethiopian Rift Valley to unravel late Quaternary environments (including climate) in this tectonically and volcanically active region.

ABSTRACT Paul Bishop’s interest in local history was longstanding. As he neared retirement, he expanded his researches into local landscapes and a longheld interest in industrial archaeology. As Paul's desire to minimise his carbon footprint increased, so did his research into the local area where we lived in East Dunbartonshire. As well as using his skills and experience as a geomorphologist, Paul extended his research methods, examining dovecotes, horse gins, ha-has, lime kilns, bleachworks, flax mills, the linen industry and other topics related to his great loves: landscape, mills and local history. Paul went in, waders and all. This piece is designed to trace the origins of Paul’s enthusiasm for local history, to discuss the characteristics of Paul’s involvement in this research area, his collaborations and his significant contribution to local history in Scotland, not only through research but by his service to various groups and bodies involved in Scottish local history. Part of Paul’s legacy is his ability to enthuse and engage people in learning about their local environments. He leaves behind an extensive archive. A more general point is made about personal archives and how we might approach them in order to preserve such materials.

ABSTRACT This study proposed a structured approach that incorporates a geographical information system (GIS) with an analytical hierarchal process (AHP) for selecting the best location for drilling new artesian wells, considering water quantity and salinity, aquifer depth, distance to the area of use, the wells interfering, and land characteristics. ArcGIS software was used to manipulate the raw data to generate a thematic layer for each selection criterion. The proposed approach consists of three phases: the first phase applies regular AHP to find the best site in the study area; and the second phase utilizes the raster overlay feature of ArcGIS to find the best zone in the study area to dig a new artesian well. In the third and last phase, AHP compares the first phase best site with a set of random sites within the best-identified zone in the second phase. A case study was used to exemplify the proposed approach. It results in a sensitivity of about 15% of the original criteria weights. The study concludes that the outcomes of this approach are more trustworthy and robust, as compared to relying solely on the AHP method (phase 1) or ArcGIS (phase 2) method.

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine Egypt’s potential for energy sources, and the volume of potential energy production and consumption, balancing inputs, outputs and availability of energy. 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.

ABSTRACT The Scottish Alliance of Geoscience, Environment and Society (SAGES) was launched in May 2007 and thrives to this day (https://www.sages.ac.uk). It is a major research partnership between ten institutions in Scotland squarely focused on the prime problem of our time, namely understanding how the natural world works and how it interacts with human society. The inspiration driving SAGES is that we can all contribute more if we collaborate. Paul Bishop was a staunch believer in collaboration and played a pivotal role in the building of SAGES. The early history of SAGES and Paul’s contribution is little known and it seems fitting to address this in a special issue in his name.

ABSTRACT Watermills have been an essential source of mechanical power for over two millennia. 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.

ABSTRACT Phil Dodds's book is the first to explore Enlightenment Edinburgh's role across multiple scales, from individual people, books, houses, and shops to government and institutions at regional, national and international levels. As he shows, the city's character and the activities of its inhabitants and visitors were strongly determined by a forceful assertion of growing economic hegemony, warfare and colonialism, and the associated struggles for power. Exploiting numerous sources from archival materials to printed books, Dodds clearly demonstrates how richly interconnected the city's population was with its immediate hinterland, the Scottish nation and wider world. The book emphasises the dynamic, changing and interconnected processes revealed by ‘universalising’ Enlightenment Edinburgh, providing fresh thinking on subjects like the development of the New Town, the history of Edinburgh High School, and the changing composition of works published in the city.

ABSTRACT Attention is drawn in this brief note to how Paul Bishop’s interests as an earth scientist and physical geographer inspired the author in interpreting the poetry of Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns. James Hutton’s geological theories regarding the age of the earth, the historical instability of the earth’s surface and the erosive powers of the elements likely influenced Burns, suggesting new inflections to the interpretation of at least two of his well-known poems. Paul Bishop’s assistance with respect to interpreting a Burns copyist’s poem is also explained.

Boredom and the politics of climate change 无聊与气候变化的政治

ABSTRACT In this position paper, I speculate on what we might learn about the politics of climate change if we stay with the possibility that boredom might be part of how subjects encounter and make sense of climate change. 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.
摘要在这篇立场文章中,我推测,如果我们坚持认为无聊可能是受试者遭遇和理解气候变化的一部分,我们可能会对气候变化政治了解到什么。我认为,无聊产生了一种道德和政治上的矛盾,脱离了伴随着充满紧迫感的危机和紧急情况词汇而来的行动需求。无论无聊是拒绝面对气候变化,还是一种应对和居住在压倒性环境中的方式,对气候变化感到无聊都会让现有的对化石燃料生活和未来的依恋继续下去。气候变化事件被“暂停”了,因为它不再被人们所感知。我将这种“气候变化暂停”的关系与其他两种脱离气候变化事件的方式区分开来——“否认气候变化”和“推迟气候变化”。与否认或拖延不同,暂停对气候变化的要求被搁置,而不是结束。它的回归方式模糊了无聊和其他影响之间的界限。最后,我反思了气候变化的情感政治,并想知道无聊如何成为气候变化进步政治的一部分。
