Student Research
The Department of Geography & Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has a proud tradition of offering field seminar courses that enable students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to a real world setting through the development and implementation of a research project that they design. The variety of topics that students examined in the Fall 2014 Oregon Field Seminar reflects the breadth of contemporary research in the discipline of Geography. Below are links to the student research. You can also access their work by hovering over the research button located in the top right corner of this page and selecting from the drop down menu.
