We know that educators who relied on the The World Factbook as a reference for teaching geography are reeling at the news that it has been taken offline.

We've put together a collection of other free, online resources that can help fill that gap, along with our best regional geography lessons (which are also free!)

Take a look and please share this with your educator friends.

Might as well do an #introduction post as it has been a while...

Hello there Fediverse! I am an environmental archaeologist interested in how past communities interacted with and shaped their environments (and vice versa). Just finished my #PhD (Physical #Geography at #Plymouth) focusing on the #HumberheadLevels. For my thesis, I combined #pollen analysis, #GIS, and #geoarchaeology to understand relationships between people and #wetland #landscapes. I recently passed my viva, so I am currently looking for work.

My published work thus far includes contributions on land cover reconstruction in complex wetland systems and chapters on #anarchist approaches to #archaeology and #heritage practice. I have a few more pieces in the works, and little time to do them all.

As far as research goes, I have been mostly interested in challenging the 'pristine #nature vs human impact' binary, the politics of how we interpret past landscapes, and unpicking what we actually mean when we talk about 'natural' environments and the messy reality of human-environment coevolution.

Reviving this account to catch up with your lovely faces and to see what's happening in #archaeology #paleoecology #gis #wetlands #politicalecology and related fields. 💗

Let's propose that every newspaper add city, state, & country to its masthead.

I just read a post re an incident in Salem, linked to the "Salem Reporter." There are 30+ Salems in the U.S.; more in Germany, Egypt, India. The internet flattens our big old world. Give a reader a (geographic) clue, will you?

That goes for all kinds of Mastodon posts. WHERE is your quiet country lane, dramatic hillscape, latest police outrage, cool bird sighting? Inquiring minds want to know.
