- W2624753333 abstract "The exact meaning given to cartographical information collected on Central Eurasia just after Halford J. Mackinder called region geographical pivot of world is fascinating because it forces us to reconsider role played by maps in development of climate and environmental studies. I am especially interested in seeing how Pyotr Kropotkin's theory on climate change, which Royal Geographical Society of London vigorously debated in 1904 and 1914, was validated by map-based study of relief and climate of Chinese Central Asia. Kropotkin believed he had found in its receding lakes and growingly arid landscape evidence to support the Desiccation of Eur-Asia. More attention should thus be granted to cartographic work done by Europeans in Mongolia and Turkestan (the provinces of Inner and Outer Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu and Xinjiang) during first three decades of 20th century. This paper, which will retrace history of survey of region, will illustrate, update and thematize chronological account that Erik Norin gave in Vol. 48 of Sino-Swedish Expedition. I will attempt to: 1. Describe various expeditions sent to comprehensively map terrain and document environmental history of region,2. Explain how maps led contemporary debate on climate change, and how they were read by preeminent geographers of time (Kropotkin, Huntington, Hedin, and Gregory, especially), 3. Ascribe a cause to discrepancy I have noticed between assumptions on climate, topographical observations made in situ, and resulting maps and atlases,4. And conclude on importance of positioning any cartographic enterprise within its historical context. My conclusion would amplify Chris Perkins' observations in his seminal Cartography - Cultures of mapping: power in practice article (Progress in Human Geography 28-3).I hope this topic will generate a discussion on rich interaction we have seen between mapping activities, scientific objectives, and political agendas. My paper may also be seen as a prelude to history, not yet fully written, of Chinese, Soviet and Sino-Soviet expeditions that explored whole of Central Asia." @default.
