Geography had a full crop of students doing research this summer. From research into climate, Alaskan fauna, and the value of lands across New York, to the network cable system of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, the students covered a great deal of territory this year. Along with the students doing work with geography faculty, there were concentrators working with the Upstate Institute on deep imaging of the earth and on the virtual Galapagos.
