The UCSB Geography News for Spring 2011 was sent out electronically on April 1. This is the forth Geography Newsletter to be sent in an electronic format; a PDF is available here. Geography News is a biannual production, and electronic mailings occur in March and November each year—and, yes, both dates are calculated to encourage donations to the Department (just before Christmas and just before tax filing). The content of each Newsletter revolves around major news items since the last mailing and also includes standard items such as a thank you to recent donors, faculty and grad student kudos, a featured alumnae section, and, at times, a humor spot or a “did you know?” item.
The articles included in this newsletter are only a sampling of the 50+ Department News postings made since the Fall Newsletter of November 15, 2010; please see the News Archive for complete listings. If you have a submission of your own, suggestions about further inclusions, or any other comments, corrections, or catcalls, please contact the editor, Bill Norrington, at billn@geog.ucsb.edu.
