It is a holistic field which can touch on multiple specific disciplines, including humanistic approaches from history to literature the empirical or “natural” sciences from geology to physics, as well as behavioral studies such as sociology to

The Big Idea: Interested in joining PLU’s Anthropology and Geoscience Departments in a fun day long field trip to explore the intersection of geology and anthropology? Two sites will be explored through this lens: Alder Lake was formed as an impoundment dam in the 1940’s to generate the electricity we use as a society. What are the results? We will view the dam itself and local landscape on the way to the second stop of the day. Ohanapecosh Campground southeast corner of Mt Rainier National

the natural shape of land. She depicts water and the local marine environments showing the interconnectedness of nature. “All of my painting processes act as models of environmental systems and states of flux,” Elise Richman says in her artist statement. “The poured paint dries into forms that evoke the contours of islands, water bodies, and/or fluid dynamics.” Richman is Associate Professor of Art at the University of Puget Sound. She has exhibited at the Center on Contemporary Art in Seattle

largest gates ever designed and constructed (each weighing 8,000,000 pounds); has a unique design that allows savings of 60 percent of the water used for ship passage in a renewable and sustainable way; and should tolerate the highest earthquake seismic loads ever for a project this scale. Krause graduated from PLU in 1976 with a Bachelor of Science in Geology. He was one of the first students to graduate from the program, which he said was “exciting and very personalized.” He also participated in the
