Meet the researcher (student)!

   Hello! My name is Hunter and I will soon be entering my third year at UT as an Environmental Science major following the geography track. I would like to thank my parents for allowing me to go on this trip as well as paying for everything.
   I’m excited to spend my first time abroad learning about environmental issues in a region home to the origins of humanity. As someone who wants to study the impacts of changing climates on global weather patterns and severe storms, Botswana’s extreme seasonal shift in rainfall and dependence on convective thunderstorms for water offers a unique perspective not found back home.
   Additionally, I’m looking forward to bonding and learning with a small group of people that share many of the same interests as me. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Meyer, Francisco, the camp staff, and UT for making this program a reality.

              

Hunter, enjoying his time around camp.
