DP Geography Core: Unit 1, 2, and 3 - Coggle Diagram
DP Geography Core:
Unit 1, 2, and 3
Unit 1: Population Distribution - Changing Population
Population distribution patterns
What are human and physical factors?
How are economic developments distributed?
How do we classify them?
Within a nation, how are people and money distributed
Analyze France and South Africa
Core periphery patterns
Pattern of internal migration
Megacity growth
Changing populations
Demographic transition over time
Define useful vocab
natural increase rate
total fertility rate
life expectancy
population structure
EXAMINED THROUGH PYRAMIDS
dependency ratios
Analyze South Korea and Ethiopia
Megacity growth has consequences on individuals and societies
China, Shanghai
Forced migration and internal displacement
:
Refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs, ... and human trafficking
Kiribati: environmental push factors
Consequences in culture, people
Venezuela: political push factors
Consequences in host countries, etc
Challenges and opportunities in populations
Decreasing trend in family size, inequality in sex ratio (compared to natural difference) and trend towards aging society
Policies about aging societies
Pro-natalist and anti-natalist policies
Gender equality policies
Anti=trafficking policies
Demographic dividend's consequences
Example of benefits in Korea
Unit 2: Global Climate - Vulnerability and Resilience
The natural system of global climate
Natural greenhouse effect
Energy balance between incoming shortwave and outgoing longwave radiation
Changes in global energy balance
Solar radiation variations (global dimming due to volcanic eruptions)
Terrestrial albedo changes, resulting in
feedback loops
Methane gas releasing resulting in
feedback loops
Enhanced greenhouse effect
Sources and emissions of greenhouse gases - that vary internationally due to econ, globalization and trade
Consequences of climate change
Understanding different systems:
hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere
Water stored in ice and oceans; sea levels
Carbon stored in ice oceans and biosphere
Extreme water events (drought, etc) increasing in incidence and severity
Biomes, habitats, and animal migration patterns are changing
Agriculture is changing:
crop yields, soil erosion, limits of cultivation
Health hazards, migration, and ocean transport routes for people
Solutions to climate change
Risks and vulnerability for different:
locations, wealth, (age,gender,education), and risk perception
Compare vulnerabilities in Australia and South Sudan
Government-led
adaptation and mitigation strategies
Geopolitical efforts (global)
(note countries that are not the source may stand greater risk/vul)
Carbon offsetting
Carbon trading
Technology, like geo-engineering
Corporate strategies
USA NGOs and companies:
Greenpeace, US CAN, HD, Tesla, Apple
Unit 3: Global Resource Consumption and Security
Trends in consumption
Growing middle class and reducing poverty
Trends in availability and consumption of
Water, including virtual water
Land/food, including diets due to middle class
Energy, discussing different types of energies
How are you measuring resource consumption?
(ecological footprint)
Impacts of trends
Examine national water, food, and energy securities through their
WFE nexus
access to safe water
food availability
energy pathways and geopolitical issues
How does climate change affect WFE nexus, and how do we respond?
Compare Canada and Yemen
What are different methods of disposal?
International flow, including E-waste
Resource stewardship for an ultimate response
Analyzing resource consumption trends against population
Through neo-Malthusian views
Through Boserup's view
Through
balanced
resource stewardship
What is the circular economy use for cycling of materials ans energy?
How are we making progresses towards UN SDGs?
