دہلی سلطنت کے اندر پنجاب ایک متحد صوبہ نہیں تھا۔ پنجاب کا علاقہ، سلطنت دہلی کے دیگر علاقوں کی طرح، چھوٹی انتظامی اکائیوں میں تقسیم کیا گیا تھا جسے اقتا کہا جاتا تھا۔

Very excited to share my newest article in @ProgHumGeog! My main argument revolves around how geographers can strategically contribute to labor struggles under a changing climate and the need to bring under one umbrella research that / doi.org/10.1177/030913…
currently falls within the labor-environment nexus. Some of my key arguments are 1) worker-led mass movements will be key to overcoming the climate crisis, 2) our research needs a clearer strategic compass on how it can contribute to struggles on the ground /
3) New conversion demands in industrial sectors represent an example of current environmental labor struggles. I compare those to past debates motivated by a shift from defense to socially useful production, 4) as geographers we have useful analytical tools that can help draw /

In these videos (2 parts) Remy Bossu explains that we can't predict earthquakes, what earthquakes are, what aftershocks are, and why the second 7+ quake today was not an aftershock. Also shows tectonic setting of the region:
This is the United States Geological Survey Earthquakes website, which provides up to date information about earthquakes worldwide and clearly shows the location and information for the quakes that impacted Turkey and Syria today: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ma…
Canada is the world's second-largest country after Russia. The country stretches across 3.8 million square miles (9.9 million square kilometres). Canada is almost equal in size to China (9,596,961 sq km), but its proximity to the North Pole makes it look much larger than China.
The area north of the treeline: 2,728,800 km2, over 27% of Canada's total area.
Canada's land border: 8,890-km border with the United States, is the longest international border in the world.

Imagery paints a picture of soil types. Along the River, coarser soils settle quickly once floodwaters slow down. Blue areas have more clay, because super-fine soil particles can stay suspended longer, travel farther in slow-moving floodwaters. Orchards prefer coarse soils. 2/x

Many students ask me about SCM/Logistics Degree programs.
Go to any top business school at an Ivy League university.
Alternatively, you may choose to find some decent department of Economics that has a strong partnership with other faculties, such as Operations Research, Industrial or Transportation Engineering.

1. Another question I constantly get: Can Chinese data be trusted? High Frequency data shop like Baidu or other private data source advertise their data showing similar thing as govt economic data, but more real time = acknowledgement of recent higher quality govt economic data.
2. Around 2014, the central government was extremely concerned that several northern provinces’ reported GDP numbers were overinflated by local officials. In 2016, the LiaoNing province in the north was asked to reduce its reported GDP figure by 22.4%.
3. 2018, after the fourth national economic census, 12 out of 15 northern provinces’ GDP estimates were adjusted lower, while 14 out of 16 southern provinces were adjusted higher. Jilin and HeilongJiang, both northern provinces, have respectively been adjusted down more than 20%.

@AnnalsOfScience just published an article I wrote with my colleague @smolinab1 as part of our research on a chronological and cosmographical Tratado composed in the New Kingdom of Granada (c.1696) 🧵(1/17)

tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
The manuscript presumably entitled "Treatise on astronomy and the reformation of time" is housed in the @BibliotecaNalCo. Using other sources (@ArchivoGeneral @Banrepcultural), we read this Tratado as part of the #earlymodern globalisation of Spanish cosmography (2/17)
Under the influence of Spanish cosmography, the repertorios de los tiempos–books encompassing astronomical, agricultural, ecclesiastical, medical, and calendrical questions–incorporated cosmographical elements coming from Sacrobosco and the Theorica (3/17)
