fter a few years’ hiatus, it’s my pleasure to bring you the latest version of Landmark, the magazine for alumni of the Department of Geography at the . Landmark will be coming to you annually, packed full of news on Department research, events A and alumni updates. We hope you enjoy it. Since the last edition of Landmark in 2010, Cambridge Geography has continued to excel, regularly featuring at the top of league tables in teaching and research. Our staff of 35 academics publish ground- breaking research, win prizes, and attract large grants from many different sectors. On pages 6–9 you can read about two of the Department’s forays into popular culture: Prof Clive Oppenheimer writes of his award-winning Netflix documentary Into the Inferno, while Dr Mia Gray and Prof Susan Smith reflect on their nationwide theatre tour, exploring the effects of austerity on modern Britain.

We are heralding the start of a new era as we say goodbye to a cohort of professors who have been with us since the 1980s, now embarking on their retirements, and welcome a new generation of researchers. On pages 10–11 you can read about our new Professor of Cultural and Historical Geography, Matthew Gandy, whose academic career has now come full circle, returning him to Cambridge where he studied as an undergraduate.

Our student population also continues to flourish, with over 300 undergraduate and around 130 graduate students all undertaking exciting research projects that take them all over the world: 2nd year student Julia Ganis writes of her work with the Jumby Bay Turtle Project on pages 12–13.

The re-launch of Landmark is just the start of our alumni engagement programme as we begin preparations for celebrating 100 years of the Geography Tripos in 2019. From Michaelmas, we’ll be sending out a termly e-newsletter with updates on Department life and alumni activities. This will sit alongside our new alumni webpages and social media channels. We’ve also got a host of alumni events and projects planned for the years ahead- watch this space!

We would really like to hear your thoughts on our plans: what kinds of news stories are of most interest to you? What events would you like to see being organised? What do you think our centenary celebrations should include? Please get in touch - I look forward to hearing from you.
