Abstract
Tom Baerwald is currently President of the Association of American Geographers, and is employed at the National Science Foundation, where he has served in many capacities, most recently as Senior Science Advisor in the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences and as a program director for the Geography and Regional Science Program. He also is a coordinator for environmental social and behavioral science activities, assisting in the conduct of multidisciplinary efforts that engage social and behavioral scientists in the studies of interactions among human and natural systems. He earned a B.A. in geography and history from Valparaiso University and both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in geography at the University of Minnesota. Back in, as he puts it, “the good old days” when he conducted basic research of his own, Tom specialized in studies of contemporary metropolitan development processes and urban transportation. He has been elected as a Fellow of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science.
