Drs. Ackom, Moore, Benedetto (our newest professor), Balentine, and Pretes all represented Geoscience at the UNA Major Discovery Fair last week. Meanwhile, Dr Mighty was the moderator for the Major Discovery Fair STEM Career Panel. These events gave high school students an opportunity to explore possible majors if they attend UNA. We hope many of them will choose Geography and GIS! by @unageo

Dr Pretes completed his three-month round-the-world trip (with only carry-on bags; yes, it can be done!) with stops in Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, and California. In Australia he attended the American Association of Wine Economists conference, visited Rottnest Island near Perth where he saw cute quokkas (a marsupial related to kangaroos and wallabies), met with colleagues and traveled around, then went to New Caledonia in the South Pacific where he hiked in rainforests. On his last stops in New Zealand and California he met with colleagues as well before arriving back to 99 degree Alabama! by @unageo

Dr Pretes was recently in South Africa and Mauritius (including the small remote island of Rodrigues), where he conducted some field work in national parks and met with colleagues at Stellenbosch and Rhodes universities in South Africa and at Grande Montagne Nature Preserve in Rodrigues and Black River Gorges National Park in Mauritius. He will use some of this new material in his fall course offerings. by @unageo
