Lyons, Robin R.
Journal of Geography, v91 n1 p24-27 Jan-Feb 1992

Discusses projects involving (1) environmental science; (2) geology; (3) oceanography; (4) orienteering; (5) weather; (6) U.S. cultures; (7) community citizenship; and (8) world citizenship. Argues that geographers' involvement will promote geographic education. (SG)
