Wow, things are really picking up over here! Guess we’d better dust off our account and start to #ThinkOutside under this sunny BlueSky (okay, we are in Newfoundland in November, so outlook for actual blue sky is … uncertain). Stay tuned for some content from the last few months!

Wednesday! It’s our first ever #GeographyAwarenessWeek Open Labs day! Come visit our research labs and see what we are up to these days in the ol’Science Building. All are welcome!

A great first day of the ACAG 2023 conference, hosted by us! What’s ACAG? It’s the Atlantic Division of the Canadian Assoc. of Geographers. We are a geographically dispersed Division, & have decided to keep meetings virtual (& free) to be as equitable and inclusive as we can. More to come tomorrow!

Spotted at Memorial University’s #WhaleOfADay 👀 👀 Some favourites from the map library!

New research on newcomer transit experiences in Canadian mid-sized cities by ⁦Tolulope Akerele of MUNL Geography ft on CBC. “Akerele said the increased ridership is positive but the next step should be finding ways to make the experience better.” @munlgeog.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

New article out in @areajournal.bsky.social builds on Freidberg's work on environmental 'footprinting' and technopolitical power to help explain how salmon farming corporations are engaging with global food governance. @munlgeog.bsky.social rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interested in small & mid-sized cities? consider submitting an abstract to the special session we are proposing for the Urban Affairs Conference in NYC this spring. Please share.

We love to #ThinkOutside at MUNL Geography! @carissabrown.bsky.social took #GEOG3140 Biogeography students out to a good ol’Newfoundland boreal bog to talk about adaptations and species-environment matching. Nothing makes those undergrad memories like a boot full of bog.
