Professor Saleem Ali, Head of the Department of Geography and Professor of Energy and Environmental Policy, and eight students from the University of Delaware paid a courtesy call to the Ministry of Commerce to discuss their ongoing field research undertakings while on island.
The students, who signed up for the ‘Environment and Society’ course with a focus on the Caribbean, are expected to gain practical experience during their two week long mission.
The academic group will also be journeying to the neighboring island of Martinique to conduct a comparative study on various aspects of the French territory’s environmental and developmental performance.
