Kudos to Rex Hanger, professor of geology, who was elected Chair for 2026 of the History, Philosophy & Geoheritage Division of the Geological Society of America. The HPG Division, with more than 450 members, explores the historical roots, impact and ethics of the geosciences to address geoheritage preservation, environmental sustainability and the significance of the social context of geology.
Kudos to Rocio Duchesne-Onoro, associate professor of geography and geology, whose article, “Spectral Characterization of Nine Urban Tree Species in Southern Wisconsin,” was published in the journal Remote Sensing.
