	GEOGRAPHY - LoveToKnow Article on GEOGRAPHY
		Geography is a synthetic science, dependent for the data with which it deals on the resultand of specialized sciences such as astronomy, geology, oceanography, meteorology, biology and anthropology, as well as on topographical description.
		General geography was divided into(I) the Absolute part, dealing with the form, dimensions, position and substance of the earth, the distribution of land and water, mountains, woods and deserts, hydrography (including all the waters of the earth) and the atmosphere; (2) the Relative part, including the celestial properties, i.e.
		The compilation of geography books by uninstructed writers led to the pernicious habit, which is not yet wholly overcome, of reducing the general or physical part to a few pages of concentrated information, and expanding the particular or political part by including unrevised travellers stories and uncritical descriptions of the various countries of the world.

	Assessment of Benthic Infauna on the Mainland Shelf of Southern California \| 1997-98 Annual Reports
		Benthic infaunal condition was assessed using the Benthic Response Index (BRI), and by comparing dominant taxa and community parameters (e.g., number of taxa) of the sampling strata most likely to be influenced by point and non-point discharges with those for the SCB as a whole.
		Sites were selected using a stratified random design, with the primary strata being depth zone (inner shelf from 10-25 m, middle shelf from 26-100 m, and outer shelf from 101-200 m); geography (Santa Monica Bay); and proximity to input sources (wastewater outfalls and river mouths) (Figure 2).
		Benthic communities were classified as reference by the BRI in 87% of Santa Monica Bay, compared to 92% of areas outside of Santa Monica Bay (Figure 3).

	The IOG -- ICESS/USC Project: Storm Water Runoff in Santa Monica Bay
		Storm water runoff from urban areas is a major source of pollution in the coastal waters of the Southern California Bight (SCB).
		While our research will focus on a single site, the basic physical, chemical, and biological processes that are important to the dynamics of the runoff plume along with the methods that we will employ to study them are very general and have wide application.
		The Southern California Bight (SCB) has multiple sources of nutrients, particulates and contaminants that discharge into the coastal ocean, including submerged outfalls, rivers, creeks, storm drains, atmospheric inputs, ocean dumping, and advection (Anderson et al., 1993).

		The goals of the Georgia portion of the program are (1) to determine the historical rates of shoreline change in Georgia and southernmost South Carolina, and (2) to generate a State-of-Knowledge report for the Georgia Bight that synthesizes existing knowledge and identifies data gaps in our understanding of regional coastal processes.
		The State-of-Knowledge component of the study focuses on the 225 km of coastline within the Phase II Southern Study Region (St. Marys Entrance, GA — St. Helena Sound, SC).
		Coastal research on the apex of the Georgia Bight expanded rapidly beginning in the 1960s, peaked in the 1970s and 1980s, and experienced a decline during the 1990s.
