“Women in geography chart more than maps- they chart pathways toward understanding people, place, and possibility” (Unknown).This sentiment is well reflected in the accomplishments of Dr. Thera Edwards, whom the Faculty of Science and Technology proudly congratulates on her appointment to the Editorial Board of Geo: Geography and Environment - a prestigious, fully open-access journal published by the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) in association with the Institute of British Geographers (IBG). The RGS is a leading learned society and professional body for geography in the UK, founded in 1830.

Dr. Edwards, Lecturer and Map Curator in the Department of Geography and Geology, will be working with the journal to promote innovative research on environmental issues, climate change, and sustainability. Geo is a peer-reviewed international journal published by Wiley that is highly sought after by researchers. Academics and scholars choose Geo for publication based on its range of paper formats, rigorous standards and reputation for showcasing impactful research. Geo welcomes new, critical, and underrepresented ideas from leading scholars and emerging voices.

We're proud to see Dr. Edwards assume this leadership role and look forward to her continued contributions to the field of geography.
