Building Ecological Resilience in Highly Modified Landscapes

BioScience (2018)

Erin E. Beller Erica N. Spotswood A. H. W. Robinson Mark Anderson Eric Higgs

Ecological resilience is a powerful heuristic for ecosystem management in the context of rapid environmental change. Significant efforts are underway to improve the resilience of biodiversity and ecological function to extreme events and directional change across all types of landscapes, from intact natural systems to highly modified landscapes such as cities and agricultural regions. However, identifying management strategies likely to promote ecological resilience remains a challenge. In this article, we present seven core dimensions to guide long-term and large-scale resilience planning in highly modified landscapes, with the objective of providing a structure and shared vocabulary for recognizing opportunities and actions likely to increase resilience across the whole landscape. We illustrate application of our approach to landscape-scale ecosystem management through case studies from two highly modified California landscapes, Silicon Valley and the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. We propose that resilience-based management is best implemented at large spatial scales and through collaborative, cross-sector partnerships.

Marine Surveying in Britain during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

Geographical Journal (1957)

A. H. W. Robinson

The early meetings of the Royal Society, following the granting of its charter in 1662, were notable for the many diverse subjects w ich came up for discussion, particularly those connected with experimental science and the perfecting of instru? ments. The appointment of Robert Hooke as Curator of Experiments,, in November of that year had a most stimulating effect on the practical activity of the Society, each meeting being characterized by a number of demonstrations using apparatus or instruments designed by Hooke himself. One of the many fields of enquiry which engaged the indefatigable Hooke's attention in his newly created office was that of furthering existing knowledge of the form and characteristics of the sea bed. To this end he exhibited before members an instrument which he had

SOME HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYORS OF THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY

Survey Review (1953)

A. H. W. Robinson

In previous contributions to the Review the author outlined the development of hydrographic surveying in this country during the latter half of the 18th century. The surveys which Mackenzie, Spence and Bligh carried out at this time were largely inshore, covering areas within sight of land where prominent marks could be used for fixing by sextant resection. This was natural enough, for the accurate delineation of the hydrography of coastal waters and channels was an obvious starting point once the navigator had become convinced of the value of a precise hydrographic survey in his quest for safe navigation. It was soon apparent, however, that some of the offshore banks were equally dangerous from a navigation standpoint, particularly in the North Sea where many shoals and banks lay close to established and well-used shipping lanes. Time and time again vessels had foundered on these banks simply through a lack of accurate information about their true position and extent; on the existing charts they were either badly misplaced or oftimes not shown at all.

The Submarine Morphology of certain Port Approach Channel Systems

Journal of Navigation (1956)

A. H. W. Robinson

Many of the major ports of the British Isles, including two of the most important, London and Liverpool, are situated at or near the head of sand-filled bays or estuaries. Their continued utility depends not only on the provision of adequate berthing facilities within the harbour area itself but also on the maintenance of a deep-water approach channel through the shoals of the outer estuary. In some cases the latter requisite is the more difficult of the two to achieve, especially where the bottom configuration is liable to considerable change over a relatively short period of time. The problems connected with a changing sea-bed configuration come within the scope of loose-boundary hydraulics, a branch of flow mechanics which has only begun to be investigated. Some success in this direction has already been achieved using scale models of specific areas but many unsolved problems remain and much remains to be done.
