AND THE ATACAMA DESERT, CHILEMAY 23 – JUNE 27, 2008

Want to go to the end of the world?Geography and Environmental Studies in Easter Island and Chile

Earn up to seven UR credits while experiencing first-hand thesplendor of Chile’s Atacama Desert and mysteries of historic EasterIsland. The driest spot on earth, the Atacama Desert is one of theworld’s most beautiful and unspoiled places, and is a natural geomor-phic laboratory. Protected by the Pacific Ocean and the AndesMountains, northern Chile is home to some of the most spectacularand isolated scenery in the world. Easter Island has long been thesubject of curiosity and speculation: How and why did its inhabitantscarve and transport the massive statues which surround the island?What remains of this culture today, and what lessons can we learnfrom their legacy? First inhabited more than 1000 years ago, EasterIsland (called Rapa Nui in the native language), Easter Island hasbecome a showcase of the effects of human influences on the land-scape. With a population that peaked at over 10,000 people, theinhabitants quickly exceeded the island’s ecosystem, degrading theonce-lush landscape and causing a collapse of the native civilization.The island, now controlled by Chile, is being preserved as a living lab-oratory of sustainable development and a monument to the effectsthat humans have on the environment. These courses examine thegeomorphology, climate, ecology and environmental ethics of theseisolated habitats.

This program gives students the opportunity to experience 35days of classes, excursions, seminars, and independent research. Theinitial 13 days is spent in central Chile in beautiful Vina del Mar, hometo the Universidad Maritima. While attending classes and performingindividual research, the students will learn about climate, biogeogra-phy, environmental ethics, and development issues, with specialemphasis on human-environment interaction. Thiscomponent of the program will include excursionsto Santiago (capital city of Chile), as well as fieldtrips led by active field researchers.

JULY 11–AUGUST 16, 2008

IrbidIrbid with its 500,000 inhabitants is the second-largest city in Jordan,

located in the north of the country, approximately 90 km (60 mi) fromAmman. The surrounding hills of northern Jordan are responsible for its verytemperate climate during the summer months when it is several degreescooler than Amman and enjoys cool breezes.

Unlike Amman, Irbid is not exposed to many foreigners; it is neither thesite of international corporations nor of specific tourist attractions. Hence, itssociety has retained a very Muslim-Arab flair, and English is not often heardon the streets. The city’s main economic feature is Yarmouk University, arenowned comprehensive university with approximately 22,000 students.

Even though Irbid does not possess historic sites of its own, it offerseasy access to many of the important historical and archaeological sites ofJordan, such as Amman, Jerash, Umm Qais, the Dead Sea, the JordanValley, Petra, and Aqaba. Students will have ample opportunities to visitthese and other places of interest during their stay.

The Language CenterOne of the primary goals of this Program is to completely immerse the

participants in the Arabic language. As mentioned above, Irbid provides anideal setting for language immersion due to its Arab-Muslim society anddue to the fact that there are only a minimal number of people who useEnglish—or the Arabic-English mixture often encountered in Amman—butrather speak exclusively Arabic.

ProgramThe Summer Study Abroad program at Yarmouk University in Irbid pro-

vides a combination of activities for the participants, joining intensive lan-guage instruction by native-speaking faculty of the university with aProgram-sponsored educational excursion as well as many opportunities toexplore the country and its people on weekends or at the end of the pro-gram.

Richmond will receive 7–9 hours of academic creditdependent on placement and course. Course levelsoffered are:

With over onemillion inhabitants, the capital city has a lot to offer, without feelingcongested or overwhelming like many large cities. Seville is 2.5 hoursaway from Madrid on the AVE (high-speed train) and even closer byair. Some of the most popular coastal regions in Spain, Huelva andCádiz, are less than 2 hours away by bus, as is Doñana, one ofEurope’s largest national parks.
