Ten days. Fourteen geographers. One amazing experience.
In the fall of 2018, fourteen geographers from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire headed west to learn about the regional geography of northwest Oregon. This corner of the state is the perfect place to examine the physical and human geography outside of the classroom. During their time in the Pacific Northwest, the geographers met with more than a dozen local experts in geographic topics ranging from natural resource management, tourism, cartography, viticulture, natural hazards, and urban development. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected on the trip for integration into research projects upon return from the field.
