Bibliography of Burman Earth Science earthquake; July 29; 1970; Earthquake Damage. Abstract: The data from the structural response recorder installation during the July 29, 1970, earthquake in the Burma-India border region have been interpreted in terms of structural response results. These results suggest the possibility of dependence of the nature of the response spectrum curves on the azimuth of recording. The strike of the fault plane, determined on the basis of the direction of the maximum recorded amplitudes, coincides with the local structural trend and is in conformity with the fault-plane solutions for some previous earthquakes in the region.

Earth Sciences Laboratory. Technical Report 71-61-ES. Description: xii, 307 p. maps. 27 cm. May 1971. Descriptors: Burma- Economic conditions- 1948. Burma- Social conditions. Report Date: May 1971. Report Classification: Unclassified. Abstract: (U) The report presents an indepth study of the economic geography of Burma. It discusses the historical background of the country, its economy to 1967, a consideration of the population distribution and of the various tribal and racial groups, and its physical base of geology and geomorphology, climate, vegetation, forests and soils. One section examines the agriculture and mineral resources and another the industries, transportation, trade and commerce. A final chapter analyzes and evaluates economic development in Burma, and especially the economic programs and policies which were formulated in the early years of independence from colonial status.

Robert, Frost, David B. and Leigh, Colin H. 1980. “Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia: Some Suggested Relationships.” Social Science & Medicine. Part D: Medical Geography,. 9. Volume 14, Issue 3, Pages 307-316. Abstract: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a viral disease which has spread throughout Southeast Asia over the past 25 years. Ae. aegypti is the main vector of the disease. The location of DHF outbreaks, the number of infected individuals, and the diffusion of the disease are related to September 2008 30
Bibliography of Burman Earth Science several socio-economic, environmental and host factors. A number of writers have discussed the relationships between DHF outbreaks and rainfall in different parts of Southeast Asia. A review of the literature suggests that there are positive correlations between the two variables in Burma, Thailand and the Philippines, all of which have one wet season and prolonged “dry periods”, but that the relationships in countries closer to the equator, such as Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, where there are two wet seasons, are unclear. In two case studies of Selangor and Johore in Peninsular Malaysia for the period 1973–1977, the relationships between DHF cases and moisture surpluses and deficits, the latter derived from Thornthwaite's method for calculating the water balance, are investigated on a monthly basis. It is shown that there is an increase in DHF cases following the March to May wet season and that the size of the increase is positively related to the size of the moisture surplus. The importance of moisture deficits is also underscored. There is, however, an apparent lack of association between DHF cases and rainfall during the second wet season, September–November, of each year. It is suggested that relationships between DHF and rainfall should be sought for a sequence of years, and that investigations must be based on a more sophisticated measure of moisture availability than raw monthly rainfall data. Topics for further research are outlined. Air Force Combat Climatology Center Scott AFB IL; Taxler, Kathleen M. Donahue, Christopher A. Edwards, Michelle E.

Descriptors: Climatology; Southeast Asia; Control; Clouds; Weather; Hazards; Wind; Precipitation; Visibility; Climate; Meteorology; Geography; Vietnam; Thailand; Commonality; Seasons; Cambodia; Laos; Malaysia; Trafficability. Abstract: A climatological study of southeast Asia, a region that comprises Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. After describing the geography and major meteorological features of the entire region, the study discusses in detail the climatic controls of each of southeast Asia 5 six zones of climatic commonality.” Each “season” is defined and discussed in considerable detail, to include general weather, clouds, visibility, winds, precipitation, temperature, hazards, and trafficability.
