Mark Pires
Assistant Professor of Geography, Department of Earth and Environmental ScienceI teach courses in human and physical geography, as well as in natural resources conservation. My primary interests are in the areas of human-environment relationships, spatial aspects of regional development, and the geography of Africa. My research experience includes an investigation of natural resource management for the production of biomass energy in West Africa. Future research interests, both home and abroad, include issues such as water supply and solid waste disposal in the greater New York metropolitan region, and the establishment and management of biosphere reserves for environmental conservation in the U.S. and Africa. In addition to my interests in geography and the environment, I am committed to promoting student participation in cross-cultural and international educational exchange opportunities during their college experience. I strongly encourage students to consider the value of such opportunities as they prepare for personal and professional lives in what will be a much "smaller" world in the 21st Century.
