Le rôle de l’environnement physique arctique sur l’évolution du Tunumiisut, la langue inuit de la côte est du Groenland au xixe siècle by Pierre Robbe, Bernadette Robbe

“…For many years, Pierre Robbe and Bernadette Robbe have been developing an encyclopedic dictionary of tunumiisut, the Inuit language of the east coast of Greenland, one of the dialects spoken today by the Inuit people from the Bering Strait to the east coast of Greenland.Compared to all these dialects, and mainly to the one that is spoken on the west coast of Greenland, Kilaamiusut – the country's official language, to which is close to it - the Tunumiisut lexicon has profoundly evolved during the 19th century.Many words have been replaced with descriptive or metaphorical lexemes, foloowing the pattern that shamans used to not directly name potentially dangerous entities.Leaning on the linguistic history of the Inuit, on archeology, on the study of animal life in relation to the climate, and on the many stories and testimonies that were collected, the authors suggest that understanding this particularism, which certainly results from cultural factors, is nevertheless closely linked to the ecological conditions of this Arctic area (climate, ice, fauna), conditions that fluctuate over time, with prosperous periods and catastrophic phases for animal life and therefore for that of humans, whose existence depended directly on it.…”

Spatial and Temporal Variation Characteristics of Drought in Guizhou Province Based on VCI and Division of Arid Regions by DAI Renli, ZHONG Jiusheng

“…Due to its unique dual hydrological structure of surface water and groundwater and typical karst low mountain and hilly landform area,the agricultural ecological environment of Guizhou Province is extremely fragile,and it is prone to agricultural disasters caused by meteorological factors,leading to reduced agricultural production.This paper calculates the VCI of Guizhou Province from 2001 to 2018 by remote sensing technology,explores the agricultural drought situation in Guizhou Province,divides the spatial distribution of seasonal arid regions in Guizhou Province with ArcGIS spatial overlay analysis,and analyzes the VCI trend characteristics of Guizhou Province through the unary linear trend method.The results show that:①The seasonal and inter-annual VCI in Guizhou Province generally show a downward trend,most obviously in karst areas,followed by non-karst areas;②Guizhou Province's seasonal droughts are mainly spring and winter droughts,and dry karst areas is a drought-prone area;③The drought time characteristics of Guizhou Province are mainly seasonal continuous drought and three-season continuous drought.…”
