Geography Students Discuss Correlation between Maps and Reality


Visiting Assistant Professor of Geography Jimmy Wilson took advantage of near-perfect weather to demonstrate the important correlation between real-world phenomena and digital maps.

It is important to take geography students outside to emphasize the link between the two so that we can better study spatial relationships."
