CentenaryReunion

A highlight of the Centen nial Yearwas the reunion of UCL Geography alum-ni on Friday 20 June. The department at26 Bedford Way was almost under siegefor the ‘Open Afternoo n’. The ol destvisito rs had graduated before the WorldWar II, and many more had been at UCLin th e 194 0s and ‘50s. Our ext ensi vecollection of year photographs attracteda lot of interest, as well as displays ofthe department’s current activities.

Over 250 joined the party for tea inthe UCL South Clois ter. Across GowerStreet, the Cruciform Building (formerUniversity College Hospital) lecture the-atre was wel l fil led for Hugh Clout’s

Welcome to our Second Century

This year's Newsletter builds on the success of our Centenary year celebrations in 2003, especially thecontacts we made with many of our former students.

At the Centennial Reunion, many said that 'we must do this more often'. We won't wait for anotherhundred years, but experience suggests that occasional 'special events' are most popular. As you willread below, there is likely to be another departmental landmark in 2006, and we certainly plan to invite youthen to help inaugurate the new building.

A popular occasion is the 'Year Reunion', like the 1963 get-together last March. If the department canhelp, let us know ... and you don't have to wait forty years! More recent graduates would be very welcome,not least to help us keep up-to-date in advising today's students about the 'after-life'. What about fiveyears on from 1999 or 2000; ten years from 1994/1995, or twenty from 1984/1985...?

Another outcome of the past year has been the flood of correspondence we have received by lettersand e-mails. We summarise some of the messages from past students on page 5/6. The Newslettershould really contain more material from you, so drop us a note at anytime. If it is easier to do so, use thee-mail address: contacts@geog.ucl.ac.uk

This edition is being distributed as widely as possible, with UCL People, to round off the Centennialcelebrations. I hope you might like to receive future annual copies. If so, please return the form on page 8.

Centennial Lecture, with all four Heads ofDepartment since 1966 in att endance;Bill Mead, Ron Cooke, Richard Muntonand Peter Wood. Jim Johnson and KarlSinnh uber were also there, as formerstaff, as well as most of our Emeriti: EricBrown, Hugh Prince, Gerald Manners,John Adams and Andrew Warren.

Hugh deploy ed a welter of revealingpho togr aphs from the past cent ury tohighlight key events in the department’shistory. Drawing on the research for hisCentennial History, he talked about thepersonalitie s of the early years and theera of HC Darby , showi ng how thedepartment had grown and diversif ied,not least as it has moved and expandedits variety of location s. In his vote ofthanks, Richard Munton reflected on theimportance of adapting to change as newopportun it ies arise, and raised thepo ssibi l ity of the department beingreunited on the main College site withina few years (see more, page 3).

Peter Wood sugges ted that , even

though those present had been at UCLover many generations of students, theywould find much in common from theirexperience, both then and si nce. Thisseemed to be ampl y conf irmed by theconvivial atmosphere over supper in theJeremy Bent ham Room (former UpperRefectory). Many old acquaintances wererenewed, and new ones es tablished.There was a common call fo r futurereunion s not to be delayed for anothe r100 years.

One of the pleasures was to hear aboutth e variety of ways UCL geog raphersnow earn their living. There were peoplesuccessfully runnin g small businesses,in the music and ent ertainment world,the media, publishing, the Civil Service,planning and economic development ,housi ng administ ration, finance , andbusines s cons ultancy, not to mentionteaching and university research. Also,p len ty of t he ‘act i vely ret i red’, asignificant group these days, many stillpursuin g thei r geog raphi cal curio sit yafter over forty years. Most short-termgraduate career surveys miss all this, asdo many modern attitudes to the value of

1963 Reunited

We got to meet a lot of our formerstudent s l as t year. As wel l as theCentenary gatherings, the Year of 1963had i t s own memorab le 40 thAnni versary reunion on 21st March,organis ed by Bill Bower. Fourteen metup to look around the Department on theFriday afternoon, and were greeted byRichard Munton and Peter Wood, whoalso explained some of the intricacies ofmodern UCL life. The highlight, howev-er, was the presence of Bil l Mead, EricBrown and Hugh Prince, resulting inmuch delight ed reminiscing. Lunch inCollege on Saturday (the day the anti-war

demonstrat ion assembled outside inGower Street) attracted 24 graduates andguests, about 40 in all , going on wellinto a sunny afternoon. On the Sunday, adozen st alwarts recreated the famousChiltern excursion, walking from GreatMissenden to Wavenden, where they

Quadrangle from Gower Street, facing thePortico, the building on the left, current-l y occupied by the Department o fComputer Science, is known as thePearson Building. From 2006, this willbe the home for over half of Geography’sacti vit ies. The computer-based remotesensing, geographical information sci-ence and environmental modelling workcurrently in Chandler House, near King’sCross, will be moved there, with a newInstitute for Spatial Information Science,and Environment Inst i tute. Mastersteaching will be transferred from RemaxHouse, and the Environme ntal ChangeResearch Centre and some other staff willalso move from Bedford Way. UCL hasallocated around £6 million of ‘ScienceResearch Infrastructure’ funding to carryout the work. Geography will continue tooccupy Bedford Way for the foreseeablefuture, and there are al so p lans t oimprov e its facil ities , esp ecially forundergraduate teaching . As well as giv -ing a fillip to our research and teaching,the Pearson Building will reunite manyof Geography’s scattered activities backin the centre of UCL, from which we weretemporarily decanted in 1979!

The UCL-R w e n z o r iC e n t e n a r yExpedition

Probably the most ambitious of lastyear’s projects was the st aff-studentexpedit ion, with Makerere University,Uganda, to the magnificent snow-cappedmountains of the Rwenzori Highlands onthe Ugan da/Cong o bor der. The team,which incl uded participat ion from theUniversity of Innsbruck and the UgandaWater Resources ManagementDepartment, was lead by Richard Taylorfrom UCL, with Neil Rose, from theECRC, and UCL undergraduates LucindaMileham, Virgin ia Panizzo and AdinahShackleton. Financial support camefrom various sources, including theDepartment, t he Coll ege, t heUniversity, and the RGS, as well as fromUgandan sponsors.

The purpose of the 10-day treck wasto observe the extent of the Rwenzoriglaciers, which appeared to have recededby more than 300 m in the last decade.This is of concern because of its poten-

tial impact on the water resources andecology of the Rwenzori Mountains, andalso on the liveli hood of surroundingcommunities. The team recorded the firstmeasurements of ice thi ckness, to aidunderst anding of the vol ume of waterstored in the glaciers. These revealed aless than 20 cm layer of light snow ontop of ice, with l i t t l e dense snowbetween, suggesting that very little iceis now accumulating. Measurements ofstreamflow were taken throughout theRwenzori Mountains National Park,allowing est imates to be made of therelative contribution of different watersources to the alpine streamflow, usingnatural chemical t racers. Historicalrecords also allow assessment of whetherthe t o tal amount o r seasonal i ty o fstreamflow has changed in response tothe retreat of the glaciers. Recent flashfloo ds suggest that such even ts havebecome more frequent. Such records arevery limited, however, and there is a needto establish meteorological stations inthe Park. To assess whether the observedglacier changes are short- or long-term,10 sediments cores from three lakes were

U n d e r g r a d u a t ecourses todayIt became clear from our meetings last

year that many former students remaininterested in what taking a Geographydegree at UCL today actually involves.The detai l can be found on thedepartmental web-si te or in its pam-phl ets. In princi ple, however, if youhave graduated over the past 30 years ormore, the simply answer is likely to be,'basi cal ly, much the same as in yourtime'. We still try to offer as much per-sonal choice as possib le across a widerange of top ics. Human geographyteaching reflects modern developments,for example in cultural geo graphy orGIS, but we still believ e in the impor-tance of knowing about real places. Sothere are expert courses on Eastern andWes tern Europe, Afri ca and Lat inAmerica.

Phys ical geography is taught asprocess-base d envir onmen tal science,but there are also courses that draw onGeography's vi tal abi lity to combinesocial and scientific approaches to envi-ron ment al understanding, in the UK,across the tropics, or even in Russia.

Our moto is 'undergraduate training ina research-based environment', meaningthat we encourage the ability to examineand judge evidence and put learning intopract ice. We want to foster three corequalities. First, curios ity about the nat-ural envi ron ment and human soc iety,both close to home and across the globe.

This should direct and drive each individ-ual ' s s tudies i n relat ion to t heopportunities for learning we can offer.Simple curiosity is not enough, howev-er. Students are also expected to developthe expertise they need to follow up thequestions it may raise. Practical trainingis the core of each year's work, includinginformation acquisitio n, analytical andcommunicat ion sk i l l s , developedthrough tutorials, practi cals and field-work.

The final purpose is to develop theindependenc e required for students tocarry out geographical enquiries forthems elves. This is bes t demonstr atedthrough their dissertation, which is nowcompulso ry and takes up a signi ficantproportion of 2/3rd-year work. It usuallyinv ol ves fieldwork, som etimes over-seas, including on funded expeditions.

We do not , of course, regard thedegree as primarily a preparation forfuture geographical research. These quali-ties are an essential requirement for manyforms of graduate career. Combined withthe wider understanding of the contem-porary world offered by a Geog raph ydegree, such personal development andtraining seem increasingly to be appre-ciated by employers more generally.

Investing in thefuture of

Geography: TheS c h o o l s

G e o g r a p h yVi d e o

As it s centenary investm ent in thefuture of Geography, the Department ,with the Royal Geogr aphical Society-Ins titute of British Geograph ers, hasco-funded a 12-minute video for schoolsaimed at 13-14 year-olds. It conveys theenthusiasm for Geograph y of scho olpupil s themselves, with contr ibutionsfrom Geography undergraduates, includ-ing Matthew Kerlogue from the UCLsecond year. There is also reference tothe skills developed by geographers andthe wide range of careers they now takeup, from envirommental management tothe law. The video received a warm wel-come from teachers on its ‘launch’ at theRGS in February. It is being distributedto over 4,500 secondary schools inEngland and Wales to help encourage

children to chose Geography as one oftheir GCSE, possibly A Level, and evendegree (?) subjects.
