“We have a two and a half day program with four workshops in GIS and Remote Sensing topics, followed by two full days of paper and poster sessions with 163 presentations,” said Peter Hugill, Professor of Geography at Texas A&M University and Co-Chair of the event. “We encourage participants to take a three hour walking tour of Bryan that emphasizes the city's historic role in the Texas cotton economy.”

Meet the Senators Part III

Dr. Klein said he has many goals to see through; he determined these goals after completing Dr. Bob Pressley’s term last year. Experiencing the faculty senate helped Klein better understand the senate, thus shaping his goals for the upcoming academic year.

Meet the Senators Part I

“After serving on several university committees, I decided I would like to represent my department and college on the Senate,” Dr. Bednarz said. “Geographers have always been represented on the Senate from its creation when Dr. Ken White represented the department and college.”

Generous Imaging Donation

The remote sensing system, formerly called the Texaco Energy and Environmental Multispectral Spectrometer (TEEMS), was generously donated by the corporation. Previously, the device was under development for oil exploration and environmental monitoring. Following the merger of Chevron and Texaco ChevronTexaco discontinued all research in the discipline of collecting airborne remote sensing data through this equipment. The company therefore wanted to sell it to a third party or donate the imaging system to a university.

Senator Election Results

Sears, who is one of the current Student Senators for the College of Geosciences, was disqualified from the Student Body Elections for the 2006-07 academic year. An inaccurate expense report submitted by the Student Body President Candidate Will Hailey campaign led to the disqualification of 40 other student senate candidates as well. Sears campaigned on Hailey's ticket.

Global Communication

Dr. Malecki, a professor of Geography, at Ohio State University, made this statement during his speech, “Connecting the dots: Global communications shifts since 1979,” a seminar presented by the Department of Geography February 3 in Room 303 of the Teague Building.

Advantages of Ethnography

DeLyser cited this as one of the many advantages of ethnography methodology in geographic research, January 20 at 3 p.m. in Rm. 303 of the CSA Research Center. The speech, titled “Doing Qualitative Geography,” was an open seminar hosted by the department of Geography.
