Historical Studies SIG has a new convenor
Kia ora my name is Glenn Vallender and I have been active with GSNZ for longer than I can remember. I was editor of the GSNZ Newsletter for eight years for which I was awarded an Honorary membership in 2020.
My background is in secondary teaching (Biology and Science) and I have been passionate about promoting the geosciences in schools and beyond since about 1974.
My recent forays into geoscience history have involved a book on the history of the Magnetic Observatory in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens (1899-1970) and a biography of the influencer George Hogben.
Please contact me with ideas, suggestions and questions for promoting this important SIG to the geo community as well as the history community. I look forward to hearing from you and I will try and convene to the bar that has been set by my predecessors.
