Neighborhoods, cities, mountains, ecosystems, oceans. Traveling to, experiencing, and learning about places fascinates me. I have been a geographer and explorer my entire life seeking to uncover the physical, social, and historical mysteries of how places form to better understand their present dynamics. Realms of particular interest include demographics, poverty and urban decay, coastal and littoral processes, coral reefs, regional studies (Central America, Caribbean, Eurasia, South Pacific), deserts, habitat conservation, climate change, geopolitics, and more. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/605e89bb9626227bd48c5663/t/605f442cfe5b523033e9b247/1616897799747/ Home - Community In addition to my work and adventures, I enjoy supporting causes where I can volunteer and contribute to help people and places. This includes environmental organizations, such as the Ocean Conservancy, and educational institutions including Edinburgh University (UK), University of Maryland, University of Denver, and the Valpo Surf Project. https://www.robkpitts.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-03-27
