Distinguished New Zealand Geographer Medal Recipients
The Society recognises the outstanding and sustained contributions and service the following New Zealand Geographers have made to Geography and society, whether in New Zealand or overseas. The recipients may use the designation DNZG in recognition of the award. The first Distinguished New Zealand Geographer Medals were awarded in 2001.
A copy of the nomination form for the Distinguished New Zealand Geographer Medal can be downloaded here.
Professor William A. V. Clark (University of California, Los Angeles)
As a human geographer his research has focused on migration and the nature of demographic change in large cities. His work which is reported in more than 400 research articles, reports and 9 books examines the impacts of urban structure on population flows between cities and suburbs, white flight and the impact of legal intervention on the urban mosaic, and analyses of the local outcomes and impacts of large scale international migration, especially in California. He has combined his dual interests in geography and demography to study residential segregation in U.S. cities, as well as patterns of migration, mobility, and labour force participation, especially of two-worker households. Recent papers link mobility and migration in US and British housing markets and confirm much of the current research on why families and individuals move their residence. To the long-standing arguments about race and class in residential segregation, his recent papers demonstrate that class is a powerful explanation for patterns of separation for both the foreign born and native born residents.
In addition to his contribution to academia Professor Clark has played a very active role in the courts of the USA, testifying in many cases associated with residential and school district jurisdictions. These are detailed in his CV.
There are few New Zealand geographers who have attained such a prestigious and sustained standing not only in human geography but in population and migration studies more generally. Not only his productivity as a researcher but his leadership, both within UCLA and within the demographic community more generally has meant he is one of the best known geographers in the USA and possibly Europe as well.
I have known Bill since I was a PhD student at the University of Toronto in the 1970s. We meet at Queens University through his long-time friend Professor Eric Moore who had invited him to demonstrate the latest developments in log-linear modelling. We kept in touch since and have recently written a number of papers together. Our joint research plans now extend through 2016.
Bill is both a US and New Zealand citizen who throughout his career has kept in touch with New Zealand Geography and New Zealand geographers in many parts of the world. After a BA in 1960 he obtained an MA (with first class honours) in 1961 and a PhD from the University of Illinois in 1964. Bill is presently Distinquished Research Professor at UCLA where he has held appointments since 1970. In between he has held positions elsewhere including the University of Utrecht and the University of Auckland. Prior to 1970 he held positions at the University of Wisconsin, University of Canterbury, University of Iowa and University of Illinois.
There are probably few New Zealand geographers who have been honoured in the USA and Europe to the degree that Bill Clark has. Steller among his awards are his election to the National Academy of Sciences 2005, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 2003 and his receipt of the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship 1994-5. He has held several Fullbright awards and was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1997. He also holds a DSc at the University of Auckland, 1994, and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Utrecht.
Emeritus Professor John R. Flenley (Massey University)
Emeritus Professor Flenley has had a long and illustrious academic career spanning more than four decades. He has made significant contributes to scholarship in the field of biogeography and palynology in particular and he has continued to write and supervise after his formal retirement from Massey University in 2001.
Professor Flenley, a 1958 graduate of Cambridge University, completed a postgraduate certificate in Education, and taught biology at the prestigious Repton School in Derbyshire. While there and funded by a research grant from the Royal Society of London he undertook and published research on the vegetation history of the Island of Canna in the Inner Hebrides. This was followed by a PhD from the Australian National University where he used palynological techniques to investigate the quaternary environmental history of New Guinea. Much of the rest of his career has been spent extending the reach of his research into the tropical rain forests, the Pacific Islands and to New Zealand and in refining the palynology techniques employed during this time, culminating in the development of automated means of identifying fossil pollen grains. Automation has the potential to revolutionize the field as it will significantly alter the time spend on identifying and counting fossil pollen grains in the lab allowing more time for interpretation. Several prototype machines have been sold overseas and the development is being carried further by some of Professor Flenley's former graduate students.
After completing his PhD John returned to England, and served as a Lecturer, Senior lecturer and then Reader in Geographer at the University of Hull from 1967-89. It was during this time that he established a teaching programme in Biogeography (complete with palynology lab) and he began his long association with the Journal of Biogeography eventually becoming its editor, and developing the journal to become a major international source for contemporary work in the field. The journal today has an impact factor of 4.96 and is ranked 2nd of 46 physical geography journals. In Hull and later in New Zealand Professor Flenley served on many local, national and international scientific bodies and organisations, all the while continuing to research and publish as his research interests shifted from high equatorial mountains to tropical lowlands.
In 1989 he was appointed professor of Geography at Massey University, where he again developed a world class palynology laboratory and attracted a stream of students and postgraduates (who numbered more than 30 at the time of his retirement). Under his leadership the profile of physical geography was enhanced, staff research was promoted, and he successfully obtained significant amounts of contestable external funding. While continuing to focus on how plant patterns have varied and why in relation to human activity since the late Pleistocene, John also turned his attention to the New Zealand context, making major contributions to the debate over the length of human settlement in New Zealand/Aotearoa and to the identification of New Zealand pollen types.
Few geographers have had special issues of the New Zealand Geographer devoted to their work, but such was the contribution of Professor Flenley to the geography discipline that volume 57 (2001, issue 2) of the New Zealand Geographer contained a collection of work from Professor Flenley's colleagues. His first book The Equatorial Rain Forest – a Geological History was a foundational volume, posing novel explanations for problems that faced palynologists at the time. His 1992 book Easter Island, Earth Island, and his 2003 The Enigmas of Easter Island written with Paul Bahn speak powerfully to the ways in which scholars might think about people and environment relations across the globe, and have been translated into several languages. More recently he has returned to other long standing research interests such the tropical rain forest in co-editing Tropical Rainforest Responses to Climate Change and continuing work about Easter Island.
Professor Flenley's research has often required working in challenging physical environments, involved having a detailed command of swathes of data, and required many hours of perseverance in the lab. As Nunn (2001) noted in the Festschrift Professor Flenley is an excellent scientist, basing his conclusions on the weight of careful empirical research, and demonstrating an ability to change one's thinking as new evidence emerged. His respect for and meticulous application of the scientific method, and his ability to derive insights from a diverse fields of knowledge have meant that his contribution to the discipline and beyond has been immense. It is manifest in the range of journals in which he has published even only in the last decade or so, such as Journal of Biogeography, Quaternary International (Impact factor of 2.4), Journal of Paleolimnology (Impact factor of 2.1), and The Holocene (Impact factor of 3.79). He is an authority on the environmental history of Easter Island and his Easter Island books have much cited by other scholars. His New Zealand work has also contested some of the orthodoxies surrounding the timing of the first human arrival and settlement in New Zealand. In both instances his work using palynological techniques has reached beyond the field to engage with other scholars in disciplines such as ecology and archeology.
His many international contributions have been recognized with the award of DSc (Cantab) and election to a Fellowship of the Royal Society of New Zealand.
The focus on his research contribution ought not to obscure other contributions to the teaching of geography in the university and to the New Zealand Geographical Society. On his arrival at Massey University Professor Flenley made some innovative changes to the teaching programme that involved the teaching of combined under graduate classes. But more significantly he also ran some highly successful pedagogically challenging field course to various Pacific Islands.
He took the lead in organising a highly successful symposium on the 'History of Human Presence and Impact in the South East Asia- South Pacific', a record of which remains in the Conference Proceedings. In addition, he has served in a number of capacities on the Manawatu Branch Committee, most notably as President. He unfailingly took part in various branch activities involving school visits to the campus in explaining the mysteries of palynology to students. He has willingly reviewed books for the New Zealand Geographer and put forward individuals for NZGS awards, seeing this as part of his wider responsibilities as Professor of Geography.
As former colleagues, we commend Professor John Flenley. He has always been unassuming, approachable and affable. John, was a strong supporter of both physical and human geographies, and was one of those rare geographers who easily spoke to the connection between the humans and environment, and showed a genuine interest in the research interests of departmental staff and students. An incredibly humble and sincere person, John's Christian faith guided his interactions with others, and became a means of encouraging others to consider the basis and the need for environmental ethics. He continues to serve as Deacon for the Care of Creation, with All Saints Church in Palmerston North.
Professor Robin Kearns (University of Auckland)
Awarded September 2014
Professor Robin Kearns has made an outstanding contribution to geography scholarship both in New Zealand and internationally. His work is centred on the geographical concept of place which continues to hold together disciplinary traditions and provides many of the discipline's unique insights. Robin's programme of research has seen him work collaboratively with many different geographers, particularly those in the early stages of their careers. He has also worked extensively with others, extending the reach of geography well beyond its traditional boundaries. Much of his research is community focused, and his work has been steadfastly community-oriented and animated in a commitment to the values of community. More specifically, Robin's work has enhanced local and international undestandings of the multiple dimensions of human wellbeing, and the political practices and cultural dynamics of place. He has been a prominent global leader in the fields of health geography and health social science, exercising international influence from local research interest and their ethical politics.
Robin's excellence as a socio-cultural geography researcher is exemplified in his remarkable publication record and in the high esteem in which he is held by the global geography community. Over the past 27 years, Robin has published more than 130 journal articles, two books, 39 book chapters, 14 papers in edited conference proceedings, and 30 significant other publications. Among other leading journals, Robin has published in Social and Cultural Geography, Antipode, Geoforum, Environment and Planning A, Journal of Rural Studies, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Area, and Progress in Human Geography. He acted as referee and has written more than 30 book reviews for these and more than 20 other intenational journals, and has served on the editorial board of Geography Compass, The Canadian Geographer, Progress in Human Geography, and the Space, Place and Society series. Specifically, his contribution to the New Zealand Geographer is substantial. He served as Research Editor for the New Zealand Geographer from 2002 – 2009 and has written eight editorial pieces and 19 papers for the journal. In addition, Robin is a regular presenter at international conferences (more than 50 presentations over his career to date), and has made 19 invited or keynote presentations to symposia and conferences across the world.
Research, teaching and service
Robin has explored the links between culture, health and place. His work is empirical and theoretical and ranges across rural, urban, coastal and health system spaces. It is given meaning by a deep humanist politics. In his own words, Robin's work has explored "the meanings and dynamics of places and their influence on human wellbeing". It has always been driven by the way people experience place, but has allowed Robin to investigate and engage in mediating "the downstream effects of policies and political practices on the cultural dynamics of places". Specifically, Robin has studied the capacity of urban design to promote physical activity as well as social cohesion; the 'downstream' consequences of the deinstitutionalisation of mental health care and the ways the lives of users and providers of services have been reshaped by evolving policy; the impacts of rural restructuring on community wellbeing; the transformation of clinic and hospital spaces and their connection to health care consumption; the influence of transnationalism on the urban landscape and experience of health and wellbeing; and the character of consumption spaces and practices and links to the experience of wellbeing. Robin's recent work has turned to the relationship between science and the arts in place-making. Across these interests Robin has provided a model for a geographer after the cultural turn, a post-modern geographer who engages just as comfortably in rural and urban spaces, and in coastal and outback spaces as well as institutional and mundane social spaces.
Robin's outstanding scholarship in geography was recognised early in his career during his years as a graduate student; he was awarded the University of Auckland's Kenneth B. Cumberland Thesis Prize for his MA thesis and a Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship in 1988, which funded his PhD. Robin's research has been funded by several substantial research grants from funders including the Marsden Fund, Health Research Council NZ, the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, and the Economic and Social Research Council. These awards have seem him work collaboratively with researchers across New Zealand and internationally and resulted in numerous publications. Robin has also conducted research work for a number of agencies including Auckland Regional Transport Authority, Auckland Regional Council, Housing New Zealand Corporation, Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Women's Affairs. Through this work Robin has been able to bring his scholarship to the service of local and national government agencies.
Robin has taught geography at the University of Auckland since 1990. His dedication to teaching and learning in geography is evidenced in his contributions to both undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University of Auckland since this time, and most notably in his graduate supervision. As well as teaching social and cultural geography at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, Robin makes a significant contribution to courses focused on developing and enhancing students' research skills. In addition to helping students learn about how to do research, Robin generously shares his experience and insights on the ethical dimensions of research. In this way, Robin seeks to cultivate geographers who are thoughtful and considerate in their interactions with others. In addition, by supervising young scholars through summer scholarships, Robin has mentored numerous aspiring geographers and provided opportunities for them to further enhance their geographical research skills. Many of these students have gone on to pursue further studies in geography or have secured employment which enables them to utilise these skills in non-academic settings.
Robin has supervised more than 60 Master and PhD students, including seven who are currently working as academics in New Zealand universities. Robin's commitment to excellence in teaching practice has seen him engage in a range of teaching development activities through his career. Robin has been awarded two University of Auckland teaching awards in recognition of his teaching excellence. In 1999 Robin was awarded the Distinguished Teaching Award and in 2011 he received the University of Auckland's Sustained Excellence in Teaching Award.
As Geography Disciplinary Lead in the School of Environment, Robin is now leading colleagues at the University of Auckland through a difficult period of institutional transition in which disciplinary identities and futures are being renegotiated. His leadership builds on extensive involvement with the New Zealand Geographical Society that dates back to the 1990s. Robin was the Auckland Branch Secretary (1992 – 1993) and Auckland Branch Chair (1992 – 1994) and continues to be actively involved in Auckland Branch activities until the present. Robin edited the New Zealand Geographer from 2002 to 2009.
Emeritus Professor Robert Miller Kirk (University of Canterbury)
Awarded September 2013
Emeritus Professor Robert Miller (Bob) Kirk has made an outstanding and sustained contribution to the New Zealand Geographical Society, Physical Geography in New Zealand and the University of Canterbury and the Community, by way of:
- Scholarship of national importance to the University of Canterbury and other tertiary institutions
- Scholarship of high international standing and significance in Physical Geography by way of original field work and publications in books and peer-reviewed journals
- Community oriented services as a former Member of Canterbury Regional Council
- Contributions to Policy as Regional Councillor and at a national level
- Sustained contributions to the New Zealand Geographical Society
- Contributions to University leadership in roles of Head of Department; Pro-Vice Chancellor Research; Deputy Vice Chancellor; Acting Vice Chancellor
- Providing inspiriation for up and coming geographers
Bob Kirk has dedicated his research and publications as physical geographer specialising in the science of coastal landforms and lakeshores, and the physical processes that form and change them to the science of Coastal Geomorphology since 1965. He has a deep interest in the relationships individuals and communities have with the sea and coastlines and associated issues as concerns coastal management. This work over 35 years has included coastal and lake planning and management matters, as much in policy, planning, management and conflict resolution as in technical work with coastal processes.
A Past President of the Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Geographical Society and national President for the New Zealand Marine Science Society, Emeritus Professor Kirk has made a remarkable contribution to the Science of Geography and many from Secondary School teaching to Tertiary education levels have benefited from this. He is a firm believer that "proper appreciation and sound, sustainable uses of our natural environment are rooted in a clear understanding of the physical processes that form it" and this is reflected in his many years of teaching, research and publications in the science of physical geography.
So far, Professor Bob Kirk published 86 papers in international and national peer reviewed scientific journals, such as Progress in Physical Geography, Coastal Engineering and Nature, books and conference proceedings and 145 technical reports. He has frequently appeared in Court as an expert witness leading to precedents that have influenced coastal management in New Zealand. Bob has also written the definition for river mouths, which affects how all such features and estuaries, these part of the coastal zone, have since been managed.
Fieldwork has included 150 projects throughout New Zealand, in the Pacific and also in Antarctica. Studies have included mixed sand and shingle beaches, the physical development of lakeshores, shore platform erosion, coastal housing and port developments.
Bob Kirk headed the Coastal Research Group in the Department at the University of Canterbury for 35 years, and in doing so building on work begun by the late Professor George Jobberns (1895-1974) CBE, LLD (HON), who founded the Department of Geography. During this time more than 120 Masters and PhDs were completed by students in that group of which 109 theses have focused on coastal subjects and nine in Resource Management.
Professor Kirk became Head of Department and subsequently Pro-Vice Chancellor Research supporting staff and student research across the university. He also served as Deputy Vice Chancellor to two Vice Chancellors and for a time, as Acting Vice Chancellor. His responsibilities included Research Grant and Departmental Equipment Grant funding rounds; the prestigious Erskine Fellowship, as Chair of 18 university boards and committees. He oversaw a successful financial recovery programme for the university and structural reform into four colleges and the School of Law. He has served as Chair for 18 university boards and committees and while Pro-Vice Chancellor, he had oversight of 17 research centres within the university and presided over the creation of six of these.
IN 2004 Professor Kirk was elected to Environment Canterbury (ECAN) from Christchurch South constituency and served for five years until May 2010. He also qualified as an RMA Hearing Chair, in particular the Chairs of the Regional Planning Committee and the Finance and Audit Committee. While Chairman, he reviewed the Regional Policy Statement and Regional Plan. Professor Kirk also held various roles in ECAN including completion of four and a half years of a Regional Plan (the "Water Plan") subsequently adopted by Government appointed Commissioners who replaced the Council.
Professor Philip Morrison (Victoria University of Wellington)
Awarded September 2013
Professor Philip Morrison is an outstanding researcher, teacher and graduate supervisor, and a leader and strong advocate for Geography both inside and outside the university sector, and an ambassador for New Zealand geography internationally.
Professor Philip Morrison has an excellent record of productive scholarship- more than one hundred research papers, reports, and conference proceedings. His research articles are in a wide variety of prestigious journals including Urban Studies, Housing Studies, Labor Economics and Geoforum. He also has an excellent co-edited book – Geographies of Labor Market Inequality, published by Routledge Press which followed his book, Labor Adjustment in Metropolitan Regions, published by the Institute of Policy Studies and Victoria University Press. His work on housing and labor markets is ground breaking and important, not just in Geography, but more broadly across the social science disciplines.
Like all good geographers Philip Morrison has wide ranging interests from local policy to rural development in Sarawak Malaysia. He is most well known internationally for his work on two broad issues – (1) labor markets and (2) housing and housing markets. In both these areas he has made important contributions. More recently he has developed a research interest in the geography of "happiness" and hosted a successful conference at Victoria a year ago. I expect that there will be a flow of interesting and important papers from this research endeavor.
He is particularly interested in how the organization of local labor markets affects the opportunities for young, unskilled and what he describes as "vulnerable workers". This interest began in the 1980s and culminated in his co-edited volume with Ron Martin in 2003. Most recently, a paper published in Urban Studies – Unemployment and urban labor markets- is an important contribution to the debate about how local labor markets work. It is quite possible that this paper will become a seminal work in the debate about local labor markets. On the second topic he has addressed a wide variety of housing and housing related issues from issues of deprivation to the way in which development changes the inner city neighborhoods of our cities. These studies provide a context for his current interest in how residential sorting is creating and re-creating urban structures in large metropolitan areas. There is a tendency in social science research within New Zealand to emphasize the unique aspects of New Zealand's development and indeed to play down the global similarities of processes in New Zealand's metropolitan areas. What Philip has done is bring relevant New Zealand research to international attention. His papers provide important research on New Zealand using New Zealand data (some of the best in the world, I might say) and will likely inform international thinking on residential sorting. To uncover and interpret these changing patterns is enriching both New Zealand social science scholarship and that of the international community.
Often research in the academy has only a limited circulation but Philip Morrison has always been concerned with the policy implications of his work and over two decades he has been a leader among New Zealand geographers in demonstrating the value to be gained from the analysis of large data sets (over and above the usual census). These have included the World Value Survey, and European Commission surveys, the New Zealand Quality of Life Survey, the New Zealand General Survey, and the Household Travel Survey. To these data sets he has applied contemporary analytical methods for the purpose not only of testing prevailing theory but to contribute to public policy debate. He worked with both Treasury and the then Department of Labor to sponsor the biennial conferences he initiated and organized on Labor, Employment and Work. These conferences have been an opportunity for academics and those in local and government work to interact and learn from one another. The 15 Volumes of LEW conference proceedings alone are a signal achievement.
His research and teaching have always been intertwined and he has brought his strong analytic training to supervising and helping more than 50 graduate theses. This is a testament to his interest in and concern for geography and geographic learning. Many of these students have gone on to productive and careers themselves and this is in no little part because of Philip Morrison's skilled mentoring.
As a senior member of the geography staff Philip was at different times, head of the VUW human geography program and director and head of the School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences. His tenure as Head of School spanned two PBRF (Performance Base Research Funding) rounds where the human geography group was ahead of the rest in the country in 2006 and first equal with Auckland in 2012. Clearly, his administrative role has been every bit as effective as his research and teaching roles.
Individually, his research has been recognized in the award of several substantial research grants beginning with a Commonwealth Scholarship in 1973 which funded his PhD, the first Hodge Fellowship from the New Zealand Social Science Research Fund Committee in 1985, the Association of Commonwealth Universities Development Fellowship in 1990, visiting fellowships for research at the Centre for Urban Studies, University of Toronto and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in 1995. He had an Urban Studies Journal Visiting Fellowship to the University of Glasgow in 1999 and a visiting fellowship to University of Cambridge in the same year. He held a Henry Lang Fellowship at the Institute of Policy Studies, Victoria University of Wellington, 2002-2003 and a Royal Society of New Zealand International Science and Technology (ISAT) award in 2009.
His contributions to New Zealand geography more broadly have included organizing NZ Geographical Society Conferences, including the 2008 conference. He also served as editor of one of the country's two leading geography journals, Asia Pacific Viewpoint, for over 17 years including jointly editing the 1985 book on Mobility and Identity in the Island Pacific (Chapman and Morrison, 1985). He currently serves on the board of several other international journals as well as regularly reviewing manuscripts for the leading journals in the field.
Professor Tony Binns (University of Otago)
Awarded December 2012
Professor Tony Binns is one of the most internationally distinguished geographers currently working in New Zealand. Over a long and productive career he has made an exemplary contribution to Geography at the tertiary and the secondary levels in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and internationally. He has recently completed terms as the President of the NZGS (2010-2011), the President of the Commonwealth Geographical Bureau (2008-2012) and has previously served as the President of the Geographical Association in the UK. His disciplinary contribution has been exemplary, helping to promote geography at schools and universities and he played a key role in ensuring that the subject is retained within the secondary school curriculum in the UK. He is an enthusiastic, popular and well liked teacher and has received teaching awards at the Universities of Sussex and Otago. In sum, Tony has made a significant contribution to all facets of the discipline of Geography both in New Zealand and abroad.
Tony holds a BA Hons from Sheffield and a MA and PhD from Birmingham. He spent a year as a school teacher in Doncaster before joining the staff at the University of Sussex in 1975 where he was Reader in Geography from 2000 to 2004. In 2004 he was appointed to the prestigious position of the Ron Lister Chair of Geography at the University of Otago, the second appointment in the University's "Leading Thinkers Initiative". His research career has focused on a range of key developmental themes primarily as they relate to Africa, including, desertification, the human-environment interface and community-based development, and another important thread has been in geographical education. Tony has published 14 edited or authored books, including Geographies of Development (1999), Issues in Geography Teaching (2000) and African Diversity and Development (2012). He has also published 36 book chapters, 98 peer reviewed papers, and numerous reports, book reviews and conference proceedings. He currently serves as the editor for the Routledge Perspectives on Development book series, a post which has held for over 10 years and which has generated more than 20 titles. Tony has served as a consultant for tertiary educational organisations, publishers and government departments in this country, Great Britain and across Africa, and is a member of the editorial boards of five academic journals. He was President of the Geographical Association in 1994-95, President of the Commonwealth Geographical Bureau in 2008-12, President of the New Zealand Geographical Society in 2010-11, and was elected to the council of Volunteer Service Abroad in October 2011. In New Zealand he has made a significant contribution to international community development and student advancement through the establishment and promotion of the Univol programme in collaboration with Volunteer Service Abroad and NZAid.
Ian Hay (Flinders University)
Awarded September 2011
Professor Iain Hay is one of New Zealand geography's most internationally distinguished graduates. His broad contribution to scholarship is infused with a quest to incorporate core human values into geographic research and pedagogy. Iain's work has vigorously sought to advance an ethical stance in research practice, to introduce a wider range of qualitative methodologies into the implementation of study design and methods, and to promote the adoption of creative and critically aware teaching practice. In sum, he has sought to bring teaching and research into closer relationship through promoting innovation and integrity.
His career evolved to emphasise geographical education. His edited volume, Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography became a main stay of many Australasian and overseas research courses in Human Geography, and the book's third edition was published in 2010 (Oxford, Toronto).
Iain has been a significant entrepreneur in institution building in geographical education, and he was a member of the original International Network in Learning and Teaching in Geography (INLT) formed in 1999 that is now hosted at Canterbury. He also took an Australasian leadership role in the Journal of Geography in Higher Education.
He is a longstanding member of the NZGS and has maintained strong links with NZ geographers and the NZ geography community, and has been a visitor to all NZ geography departments at various times. He has held visiting positions internationally at the universities of Edinburgh, Kentucky, Manchester and New South Wales (Australian Defence Forces Academy).
He was ALTC Discipline Scholar for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities – responsible for leading Geography and History discipline communities – as demonstration disciplines for all Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities in Australia – to develop agreed national minimum academic standards for undergraduate majors. The project was completed in late 2010. More details at: http://www.altc.edu.au/standards/disciplines/ASSH
He was awarded a Doctor of Letters (LittD) from Canterbury in 2009 for his work on 'Geographies of Domination and Oppression'.
Robyn Longhurst (Waikato)
Awarded September 2010
Professor Longhurst's received her award in recognition of her sustained intellectual and institutional contributions to international and New Zealand feminist geography, which have added enormously to New Zealand geography's international profile.
Dealing with big questions, she has consistently challenged the canons of mainstream geography. Are there approaches to knowledge production that will offer emancipatory potential for women? Does a focus on categories like bodies, maternities and sexualities alter in any way the ontological, epistemological and methodological practices of geography? What kinds of bodies and spaces are constituted in geographic discourses, and what work is done through different discourses?
Three insightful books, Bodies: exploring fluid boundaries in 2000, Maternities: gender, bodies and space in 2008 and Space, place, and sex: geographies of sexualities (with Lynda Johnston) in 2010, are distinctive interventions in international research and scholarship. These theoretically and empirically grounded re-readings of feminist literature progress a very geographic project that makes visible the richness and potentialities of knowledge production that is situated and performative.
As a co-editor of the New Zealand Geographer (1998-2003), contributor prestigious international journals, a topic reviewer on feminist geography in Progress in Human Geography, and a very active member of the International Geographical Union Commission on Gender, Professor Longhurst, often in collaboration with her Waikato colleagues, has extended the breadth and depth of New Zealand and international geography.
Michael Roche (Massey)
Awarded September 2010
The award of the medal to Professor Roche recognizes his sustained, wide ranging, and exemplary contribution and service to geography. Over the last thirty years, his research and writing have focused on three major strands: historical geography, agri-food studies and geographical thought. The latter interest has seen the recent publication of A Geographer by Declaration (2010) which brings together a selection of George Jobberns' published and unpublished writing.
His major long term substantive research focus has been on forests and land in New Zealand, including his his definitive works Forest Policy in New Zealand: An Historical Geography 1840-1919 (1984) and History of Forestry in New Zealand (1990). He also published a major book on land and water management: Land and Water. Water and Soil Conservation and Central Government in New Zealand, 1941-1988 (1994).
He was a co-investigator in a Social Science Research Fund project on 'Food and fibre production', working on two newly emergent theorisations – 'pluriactivity' and 'subsumption' in sheep/beef and dairy commodity production systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This research strand has been maintained through an interest in the meat industry, currently finding expression in the Biological Economies Marsden-funded project.
His roles in the NZGS go back over three decades. They include, currently, that of human geography editor of the New Zealand Geographer, and chairperson of the Manawatu Branch. He is in his second term as NZGS Nominee on the New Zealand Geographic Board.
Richard Le Heron (Auckland)
Awarded September 2009
Professor Richard Le Heron has made multiple influential contributions to discipline, academy and community during his 40 year geographical career. He is a leader in New Zealand social science, an internationally prominent scholar, a widely respected teacher and a dedicated servant of domestic and international disciplinary bodies. He is a leading scholar in both rural and economic geography, especially at the point where these fields converge in scholarship on rural value chains. As co-editor of the two Changing Places volumes, Richard led arguably the most influential project to emerge from academic geography in New Zealand in the last 25 years.Richard has become a tireless, imaginative and effective supporter of geography driven by a belief in its potential to contribute to better futures at all scales, and by intellectual and political commitments to the notion that the world gets made by how we know it and how we act upon those understandings.

Dick Bedford (Waikato)
Awarded September 2007
Professor Richard Bedford is a specialist in migration studies. Since the mid-1960s he has researched processes of population movement in the Asia-Pacific region and is one of the world's foremost authorities in this field. Professor Bedford is also Aotearoa/New Zealand's most prominent geographer in public policy networks and at the interface of geographic knowledge and policy making. In both capacities he has made a sustained and influential contribution to New Zealand society and international geographic knowledge.
Two things are particularly striking about Dick - the way he can read changing institutional landscapes, and the way that he has been able to sustain his scholarship as he has navigated through these landscapes to more and more central positions. His understanding of the possibilities of situations is quite extraordinary. New Zealand Geography has benefited immeasurably from the application of his insight and skills.

Second, the how long does viagra really last computer application could be disseminated to the physician community, where it would be evaluated in terms of comments from the physicians and in terms of reductions in errors measured by the error reporting system. They can also be used to improve patient safety and avoid a variety of error types. For instance, heath care personnel can scan information into a computer terminal at the point of care from bar codes on their ID badges, a patient's ID bracelet, and medicine vials. Compared to the physicians using traditional organizational schemes, such EID-based computer application could enhance diagnostic accuracy and lead physicians to be more confident about correct diagnoses and less confident about incorrect diagnoses.

EUGENE – It was a blue sky kind of day on campus, so it made sense that the University of Oregon's Board of Trustees heard an update Thursday on some dreamy long-range projects.
At the top of the list? A $150 million state-of-the-art building to house what the university hopes will be the crown jewel of an expanded scientific research program.
The short project list also included a $120 million office and classroom building. One of the proposals would include the demolition of McArthur Court, the basketball arena abandoned by the Ducks in 2011.
"We're viewing this year as a year when we're really going to be thinking big and thinking strategic," President Michael Schill said Thursday.
The capital project wish-list came minutes after the trustees heard finance officials spell out what could become a dire state funding picture next year. While revenue is expected to increase, expenses such as public pension and medical obligations are going up significantly faster. "We could be looking at a 10 to 15 percent cut or higher," Jamie Moffitt, the university's chief financial officer said of the biennium beginning in 2017.
But at the same time, the seven public universities will submit a wish list to the state's higher education board in May for capital projects that could qualify for state general bonds during the spring 2017 legislative session.
Schill has made bolstering the school's academic excellence, especially in programs in which it is already succeeding, one of the key goals of his administration.
His "number one priority" is a research center, but the $150 million proposal is dependent on donors fronting half the total price tag.
"We don't have that gift yet," he said, "But we are hopeful that we would get a gift like that."
The university is in the middle of a $2 billion capital funding campaign, which has thus far brought in $940 million.
Donors jumping in on a proposed project can mean the difference between its success and failure.
In 2015, Schill said, the school put forward a $26 million proposal to revamp the Architecture and Allied Arts building as its top priority then withdrew the request because it lacked a gift from a major donor. UO then lost out on landing state financing, Schill said.
Schill said it's also worth examining whether the university should sell or lease land it owns on the periphery of campus, such as a former auto dealership along Franklin Boulevard, to raise revenue.
Here's the tentative list of 5 projects, if funding can be found.
Scientific Research Center:
What: 100,000 square foot building with labs for 20 principal science investigators and staff, as well as research facilities.
Where: Building is proposed along Franklin Boulevard on the campus periphery, where it would connect with the existing science complex via a pedestrian bridge. A new building on Franklin would give the school a "highly visible" jewel along the thoroughfare, according to documents.
When: Project if approved could begin in the summer of 2018.
Estimated cost: $150 million, including $75 million from as yet unsecured gifts
University Classroom and Faculty Office
What: 185,000-square-foot building that would house 2,700 new classroom seats and roughly 155 faculty offices and other services.
Where: The school is eyeing either McArthur Court, or a parking lot across from the Prince Lucien Campbell building, as potential sites.
When: If approved, construction could start in the summer of 2018
Estimated cost: $120 million, $60 million from unsecured gifts.
Deady Hall
What: A full-scale renovation of the oldest building on campus. The hall was built between 1873 and 1876 and is home to half of the school's math faculty and holds 489 class seats in 12 classrooms.
When: If approved, renovation work could begin in the summer of 2018.
Estimated cost: $13.5 million.
Condon Hall
What: A renovation of the 42,425-square-foot hall, another of the oldest buildings on campus. Condon Hall dates to 1925, and is in need of seismic retrofitting.
When: If approved, renovation work could begin in the summer of 2018.
Estimated cost: $21 million.
Huestis Hall
What: This science building has 55 research-lab spaces and houses 13 principal investigators and their team, but it's dated, according to school officials. The HVAC system in particular is "on the verge of failing," according to school documents.
When: If approved, renovation work could begin in the summer of 2018.
Estimated cost: $40 million.

Since Lufthansa was a late A330 customer I was wondering will the A330-300 replace much of the older A340-300s ?
I believe that the A330 is a better plane to be used on routes like FRA-EWR or FRA-JFK and other destinations at the US east coast than the A340-300.
Will the A330 make the A340 obsolete on these routes. The A340 is fine on longer routes that can not be served with the A330-300 e.g. the West Coast and Asia but these routes also see the A340-600 and 747-400.
Will LH phase out some of their A340-300s soon as long as they can sell them for a good price. LH has a very good history of selling their aircrafts to a very good price.
I believe one A340 was taken over by Namibia some weeks ago, don´t know if this was an ex Sabena or Swiss aircraft.
Sorry if this has been discused before....

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any ideas on how to compensate for backlash or play in the gears either in code or otherwise because it's making my balancing robot a bit jittery.
Well first of all Hi everyone, although i've been visiting the site for a while this is my first post on LMR so here goes.
After seeing patrickmccabe's "Fundamentals of a GPS guided vehicle" tutorial i decided to give it a go. I got the code supplied in the tutorial to work without any trouble but when i started making some changes and adding to the code i ran into a few problems.

Commercial property rents set to rise
Relevant offers
National business
Owners of earthquake-prone commercial buildings will miss out on the benefits of an improving property market, property experts warn.
Colliers International's national director research and consulting Alan McMahon told delegates at a Property Council meeting in Auckland that demand for high-grade, structurally secure buildings was high.
"The pendulum is definitely swinging back in the landlords' direction, with the exception of earthquake-prone stock. Rents for top end buildings will go up.
"Overall the situation is pretty good. Rents in Auckland's CBD and metro areas are improving, and we are predicting growth in the industrial market along with Wellington's prime office market."
McMahon recognised that the majority of owners of buildings built before 1976 were individuals who might not have the financial ability to strengthen their properties to the required earthquake standards.
ASB Bank's chief economist Nick Tuffley agreed earthquake strengthening was becoming a property market issue, particularly but not exclusively in Wellington.
He said ASB had seen its property finance book pick up strongly in the second half of last year, and the pipeline for this year had more than doubled.
"To put that in perspective, overall market credit to the business sector remains muted, so property appears to be gaining strong momentum."
Meanwhile, in the residential housing market, one of the country's largest real estate firms, Harcourts, says a shortage of listings nationally is beginning to bite.
"Every region in the country, with the exception of the central North Island, has seen the inventory of property available to buyers reduce in February, when measured against the same time in 2012," said Hayden Duncan, Harcourts' chief executive.
The data now coming out of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and the provincial South Island seemed to confirm Auckland's robust market was inspiring confidence further afield.
"The Government still remains in a state of paralysis, seemingly to be doing more politicking than showing any signs of real action to relieve this accommodation shortage," Duncan said.
"Let's hope they soon free up the reins that are holding many developers from creating homes and much-needed construction jobs."
Harcourts figures showed new exclusive listings in January were down 11 per cent in its northern region - which includes Auckland - than at the same time last year.
But competition for properties had pushed its auctions to a record level, up 106 per cent.
It was a similar story in quake-affected Christchurch, where new listings were 21 per cent lower than last year, and auction rooms were "overflowing".
Increased competition for stock had pushed the number of auctions up 42 per cent, but prices remained flat.
However, in provincial South Island, where many quake victims have moved, prices were up 21.5 per cent and new listings were down 8.6 per cent.
Auctions jumped 80 per cent but Harcourts cautioned that the price hikes were off a low base and could be skewed.
In the central North Island, confidence in the rural market seemed to be flowing through to sales. Listings lifted by a marginal 1.6 percent but there was a 28 per cent rise in written sales, albeit off a low base.
In Wellington, new listings were down 4.9 per cent, and prices were 5.4 per cent lower than the previous year.
However, auctions were up 27 per cent and written sales were up 24 per cent, indicating that supply and demand was starting to come back in the capital.

Early versions of
InnoDB used an unnamed file
format (now called Antelope)
for database files. With that file format, tables are defined with
ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT or
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT. With these row formats,
InnoDB stores up to the first 768 bytes of
variable-length columns (
VARBINARY, and
BLOB and
TEXT types) in the index record
within the B-tree node, with
the remainder stored on the overflow pages.
For tables defined with
CHAR is treated as variable-length column if
the length of the column value is greater than or equal to 768
bytes, which can occur if the maximum byte length of the character
set is greater than 3, as it is with
for example.
With the Antelope file format, if the value of a column is 768
bytes or less, no overflow page is needed, and some savings in I/O
may result, since the value is in the B-tree node. This works well
for relatively short
BLOBs, but may cause
B-tree nodes to fill with data rather than key values, reducing
their efficiency. Tables with many
BLOB columns
could cause B-tree nodes to become too full of data, and contain
too few rows, making the entire index less efficient than if the
rows were shorter or if the column values were stored off-page.
To preserve compatibility with prior versions of
InnoDB tables
created in MySQL 5.5 default to the
COMPACT row format rather than the newer
DYNAMIC row format. See
Section 14.14.3, "DYNAMIC and COMPRESSED Row Formats" for more information.
For information about the physical row structure of tables that
use the
REDUNDANT or
row format, see Section 14.11.3, "Physical Row Structure of InnoDB Tables".

Latus Racing's Taylor Knapp shocked the Daytona SportBike field by taking his first ever pole position with a fast lap of Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Va.Second fastest in qualifying, Knapp was guaranteed a front row starting position after setting the fastest time among the first nine riders. Only the final rider, M4 Suzuki's Jason DiSalvo, could dislodge him, but he didn't. Instead, DiSalvo came off with a high-speed tumble in turn one, which he followed by kicking the air fence in frustration. The pole went to Knapp, who found the experience "cool."The Michigan rider said it was "not only my first pole, but the first time I've ever been in here," for the qualifying press conference, "so it's really cool."My lap, I had a little spin coming out of, I don't know if it's two or three; the left-hander, and the track kinda crowns off on the edge. And I got a little wide and it spun up and I bounced off the curb and I didn't know if that was going to hurt me too much. I just kept stringing the lap together the best I could and just ended up on top, so it was totally cool."Erion Honda's Jake Zemke earned the other front row starting spot by qualifying second to Knapp at a gap of .43 secs.Teammate Chris Peris shook off the affects of a morning crash to qualify third fastest, one up on Monster Energy Attack Kawasaki's Roger Lee Hayden.Team Graves Motorsports Yamaha's Josh Herrin was fifth fastest, sharing row three with Hayden's teammate Jamie Hacking.Tommy Aquino (Graves Yamaha) qualified just ahead of fellow Yamaha rider Steve Rapp of Bazzaz Performance.Neither of the fifth row starters completed their laps. Factory Aprilia/Millennium Technologies Chaz Davies had a mechanical issue, with DiSalvo crashing.

While the front office of each major league club is busy during the offseason, so are some of the top baseball writers in the country.
Yes, the writers are busy writing, but they are also making important decisions as well. They are the ones who vote for some of the most prestigious awards, including Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Cy Young and MVP.
This year features some of the tightest races that we've seen in recent memory.
All eyes will be on the American League MVP race between Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Los Angeles Angels rookie outfielder Mike Trout. Also, did Bob Melvin do a better job with the Oakland Athletics than Buck Showalter did with the Baltimore Orioles? And did Bryce Harper do enough to win the NL Rookie of the Year award over Wade Miley and Todd Frazier?
Here are the odds for each top candidate of winning their respective award, as well as my predictions of who will come out on top when the awards are announced.
The AL and NL Rookie of the Year awards will be announced on Nov. 12, according to the official website of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The AL and NL Managers of the Year will be announced on Nov. 13, the AL and NL Cy Young Award winners will be announced on Nov. 14 and the AL and NL MVP award winners will be announced on Nov. 15.

President Obama About to Cave on Keystone XL?
It all comes down to Barack Obama.
As I type this, Big Oil's representatives in the House and Senate are pushing legislation that would rush approval of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Up until now President Obama has stood strong, threatening to reject any bill that includes the pipeline. But in the last hour, some terrible news has begun to leak from DC: President Obama seems to be on the verge of caving on Keystone.
The next few hours will be absolutely crucial — the President needs to hear from you that cutting a back-room deal with Big Oil on Keystone XL is unacceptable. If he steps up makes a public threat to veto this bill, he can stop this pipeline in its tracks.
To keep his promises, President Obama needs to veto legislation that would rush approval of Keystone XL. This pipeline is a threat to our climate and jobs and needs to be stopped.
President Obama came into office promising to "end the tyranny of oil." This is his chance to prove he was serious. If he's not, he needs to know right now that there will be real consequences.
Big Oil cut a back-room deal with the dirtiest Members of Congress to attach this legislation to a must-pass tax cut bill. These kinds of deals exemplify the tyranny Big Oil exercises over our government, and underscores why the President needs to threaten a veto.
Your calls right now are absolutely crucial, and you should also be getting ready to get back into the streets in the days and weeks to come. We're dusting off our plans to go to Obama 2012 offices and raise a ruckus. Call the White House, but also get in touch with your friends to start plotting your next steps locally.
Thanks to you, this fight isn't over yet — not by a long shot.
Let's go,
Duncan Meisel for the team at 350.org
