18 Dr. Carlos Cordova is currently doing research in Mexico and Jordan and spending quite a lot of time processing samples in the Geoarchaeology and Paleoecology Lab (NRC 018). The main project is in former Lake Texcoco (see earlier story on Lake Texcoco Project). His book The Lakes of the Basin of Mexico (Springer) appeared in November 2022, and his edited volume The Legacies of the Basin of Mexico: Ecological Processes and the Evolution of a Civilization (U. Press of Colorado) will appear in August 2023. Carlos also collected information for his next book Prehistoric Landscapes of Africa: The Pioneering Work of K.W. Butzer in Early Humankind Geographies. Cordova is currently working on various proposals to continue work in Lake Texcoco targeting the Wenner Gren Foundation, the NEH Archaeology and Ethnographic program, and the NSF Geomorphology and Land Use program. Cordova taught Climate Change, Biogeography, and Current Geographic Research. He has also been coordinating the GEOG 1114 lab, where he worked with the most wonderful Tas.With Jaryd Hinch he wrote the GEOG 1114 Intro to Physical Geography Lab Handbook (Van Griner Publishers), which is in press and almost ready to be used in the Fall 2023. Dr. Alyson Greiner wrapped up work on and happily welcomed the publication of The Routledge Companion to the American Landscape, co-edited with Chris Post and Geoff Buckley. The book includes sections on environmental, political, social/cultural, and urban/economic landscapes. She also very much enjoyed her first in-person AAG meeting in three years in Denver this spring. Navigating Denver’s very windy street canyons in March while trekking between the dispersed conference sites was…invigorating. Great to see folks in person again after so long! Last summer, Alyson and life partner, Luis, had a delightful trip to the Twin Cities and enjoyed exploring the many bike trails there.
