In addition, Roberts looks forward to investigating recreational opportunities pursued by youth in the outdoors as a supplementary component of this study.
Karen Grove, professor of geology and oceanography, will lecture from March to August at University of Santiago de Chile. She will teach a sedimentology class for geology undergraduates and two seminars for graduate students who are comparing tectonic and coastal ocean characteristics of California and Chile. In addition, Grove will assist with activities such as faculty and student research projects and program development.
The Fulbright Scholar Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, with additional funding from participating countries and host institutions in the United States and abroad. During its 59-year history, thousands of faculty and other professionals have studied, taught or conducted research abroad, and thousands of their counterparts have engaged in similar activities in the United States. About 850 U.S. faculty and professionals will travel abroad to some 150 countries during this academic year through the program. -- Matt Itelson
