David J. Keeling is a distinguished professor of geography and has been on about 30 expeditions in the past 25 years with WKU. “Everything around us is geography,” Keeling said. “Understanding the why of where, the way you are and the resources you have, the climate, the culture all of those things have an impact on the local community. Geographers can do anything.” Keeling’s next expeditions is in June where he will be visiting countries such as Siberia, Baltic states, Iceland and Greenland to understand the climate change in those areas.
