Description
Historical geographer Karl Ryavec will discuss his work on a regional systems model of Tibet. For this project he is mapping the macroregional structure of the area from 2000 census data, and then using data about the founding of Buddhist temples in history to study how the macroregional structure compares to the past, working with an assumption that clusters of temple foundings indicate richer areas with more population and agricultural resources.
