DGES was fortunate to host Rebecca Lave, the Associate Dean for the Social & Historical Sciences at Indiana University and Past-President of the American Association of Geographers. Her research takes a Critical Physical Geography approach, combining political economy, STS, and fluvial geomorphology to analyze stream restoration, the politics of environmental expertise, and non-structural approaches to flooding. Her most recent book, The Field Guide to Mixing Social and Biophysical Methods in Environmental Research was released late February.

Chloe Arroyo fell in love with weather in the process of learning how not to be afraid of it. Around age five, she found even the sight of a cloud to be frightening, a threat of impending weather. During visits to her local library, she would check out different books about weather, and the more she learned about it, the more interested she became and safe she felt.
