51ÁÔÆæ Department of Geography Hosts 2025 AAG West Lakes Division Meeting  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Faculty<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Geography at UW-Milwaukee hosted the annual meeting of the American Association of Geographers\u2019 West Lakes Division on Oct. 23\u201325, 2025. Faculty and students from across the region \u2013 including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin \u2013 gathered to share research on topics ranging from flood preparedness and trout\u2011stream restoration to urban greenway networks and cycling safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference keynote was delivered by Dr. Julie Cidell (University of Illinois Urbana\u2013Champaign), who presented on the evolving geography of warehousing and logistics in the Milwaukee\u2013Chicago corridor. Her talk highlighted how the rapid expansion of warehousing to support online commerce is reshaping development patterns in urban, suburban, and rural communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"American<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The department was especially proud to celebrate the success of three 51ÁÔÆæ graduate students recognized for their outstanding work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Master\u2019s paper competition, Thea Brenner earned 1st place for her research on arts organizations in Milwaukee, and\u00a0Brianna\u00a0Sas\u2011Perez\u00a0earned 2nd place for\u00a0their\u00a0study of Milwaukee\u2019s best pizza.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the graduate student poster competition, Yiming Zhang received 3rd place for his work on spatial accessibility in Wisconsin\u2019s long\u2011term care facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event showcased the strength of geographic research across the region and the impressive contributions of 51ÁÔÆæ students and faculty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 GIS Day at 51ÁÔÆæ Brings Big Energy to the AGSL   <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Council hosted GIS Day @51ÁÔÆæ at the American Geographical Society Library (AGSL) on Nov. 21. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One hundred people attended the keynote event, a panel on \u2018Careers in GIS\u2019 featuring four 51ÁÔÆæ alumni who offered advice for students interested in GIS. Emily Sudar and Baldev Singh, both of whom majored in geography at 51ÁÔÆæ, emphasized the value of GIS and spatial data to local governments and business. Dominick Ratkowski, who completed his 51ÁÔÆæ degree in criminal justice, talked about his work at the Wauwatosa Police Department using GIS for crime prevention. Ryan Covington, who has his PhD in geography and works with the World Wildlife Fund, stressed the importance of continued learning on the job in the world of spatial data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Student<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The day also featured workshops in QGIS, an open-source GIS app; using Python with GIS software; all maps for relating historic maps to current, georeferenced maps; and humanitarian mapping to assistwith disaster relief efforts around the world. Lunch was provided by the GIS Council, and after lunch there was a tour of the AGSL. Half of the people who participated in GIS day were students; one-fifth were community members; and the rest included 51ÁÔÆæ alumni, faculty, and staff.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GIS Council would like to especially thank 51ÁÔÆæ Libraries for the use of their space and other support. We would also like to thank Dr. Kristin Sziarto, Stephen Appel (Geospatial Information Liberian at the AGSL: MS 2015, Geography, 51ÁÔÆæ), and Georgia Brown (Interim Head of AGSL and Public Service Librarian at AGSL) for their outstanding contributions to making GIS Day 2025 at 51ÁÔÆæ a success.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harold and Florence Mayer Lecture and the AAG West Lakes Conference Keynote  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dr.<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Geography hosted Dr. Julie Cidell, professor of Geography & Geographic Information Science at the University of Illinois Urbana\u2013Champaign, for the Harold and Florence Mayer Lecture and the AAG West Lakes Division Conference Keynote on Oct. 24, 2025, at the American Geographical Society Library (AGSL). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her talk, \u201cThe Changing Landscapes of Logistics in the Milwaukee\u2013Chicago Corridor,\u201d Dr. Cidellexamined how warehousing and logistics have evolved over the past three decades and how territorial boundaries shape these emerging landscapes. She highlighted the shift from the early 2000s\u2019\u201clogistics sprawl\u201d to today\u2019s dual pattern of re-concentration in central cities and expansion into rural areas \u2013 changes that pose new environmental, economic, and social challenges. Using the Milwaukee\u2013Chicago corridor as a case study, she connected global logistics systems to local urban development and discussed the complex intersections of digital technology, urban life, and marginalized communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Cidell also participated in the AAG West Lakes Division Conference alongside other attendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Colloquium Pedagogy Workshop brought great energy to the American Geographical Society Library on Oct. 20, 2025! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty and graduate students gathered for an engaging conversation on how to build strong, connected learning communities \u2013 especially in large or online classes where connection can be challenging. Led by Dr. Kristin Sziarto, the workshop offered practical strategies, lively discussion, and fresh ideas for making course spaces more inclusive and collaborative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an inspiring afternoon of shared experiences, new teaching tools, and a strong sense of community across the department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Oct. 31, 2025, Geography 650 students boarded the 51ÁÔÆæ School of Freshwater Sciences Research Vessel, the Neeskay, captained by Max Morgan. As part of the Geography Field Work class,students have the opportunity to explore Lake Michigan in Milwaukee Harbor and learn how to take plankton, sediment, and water samples at a range of depths. They observe how water temperature, conductivity, and pH are monitored using different sensors. They are also introduced to the navigation system of the ship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy of 51ÁÔÆæ Geography in International Karst Research <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mick<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although published in 2011, a feature by Jean\u2011Noel Salomon in Acta Carsologica remains a powerful reminder of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s impact on global karst research. The article cites extensive work in the Philippines by 51ÁÔÆæ alumni and faculty during the 1990s and early 2000s, including Peter Urich, Phil Reeder, Elaine Bliss, Sonata Figueroa\u2011Restificar, and Professor Emeritus Mick Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their contributions continue to inform current research and highlight the long-term strength of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Geography program. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
