20 Dr. Carlos Cordova Carlos Cordova this year taught Climate Change, Field Techniques, and Current Geographic Research. Carlos has been for the past 3 years coordinating the GEOG 1114 lab. With a team of TAs, instructors, and with funds from CAS, the lab has been transformed. There is new equipment and exercises, as well as a handbook. However, as of Fall 2024, Carlos will pass the coordination of the lab to Brad Bays. Carlos has been traveling for research, meeting and for fun: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Italy, and Mexico, and in the US to Pittsburgh and New Orleans. He has an upcoming field research in Kazakhstan as part of a project called the Paleo Silk Road, an NSF funded project of New York University. The project deals with Ice Age human populations connecting Europe with Asia. His main research project deals with prehistoric aquatic landscapes around Lake Texcoco, which involves geoarchaeology and ethnography. The time frame is from the time of mammoth hunters to the most recent times. He has also been working on lacustrine deltas in the same lake and elsewhere. His PhD student, Clayton Lucas II is working in Mexico in the same area of his geoarchaeological research but working on matters of common lands. His other PhD student, Katelyn Cooke, is starting a research project on prehistoric agricultural landscape in Oklahoma using geoarchaeological and experimental methods. Katelyn will also participate in a study of a modern deltaic complex in the Great Salt Plains lake, and a study of reconstruction of prehistoric bison grazing and fires in northwest Texas.
