Hi everyone, my name is Rob Engel. I’m a junior up here at Penn State main campus and I’m studying history and hope to one day be a social studies teacher for 9th graders. I’m from West Grove, PA which is about 30 minutes from West Chester University. I have taken two other geography courses throughout my time here and I hope that after taking this class I can add more knowledge about geography.
A big issue that has been going on for quite a while is global warming. Module 1 talks about how the interactions between humans and the environment can cause different outcomes. Climate change can be observed at a global scale but it can also be observed at a local scale. Module 1 applies that things done by individuals such as burning fossil fuels can cause climate change. Climate change can impact different people and ecosystems across the globe. I hope to learn more about this as the semester moves along and to see what can be done to help keep global warming from causing negative impacts on the planet.

Hi Rob, my name is Ryan and am also a junior at University Park. A link to my blog is here if you are interested (http://geog030.dutton.psu.edu/2016/01/20/module-1-getting-to-know-you-16/). While I’m not a history major, I do enjoy learning about history. I do agree with you that climate change does impact different people and something might need to be done about it.
