  • Memoria 2015
    MEMORIA de Actividades 2015 Qué es la Sociedad Geográfica Española Espíritus inquietos y románticos. Aventureros románticos, espíritus inquietos, observadores curiosos… el viejo espíritu de los Livingstone, Burton o de nuestro Manuel Iradier, sigue aún vivo y por increíble que parezca, aún hay fronteras y retos para la exploración. La Sociedad Geográfica Es- pañola es heredera de esta larga tradición exploradora y ha conseguido unir a gentes provenientes de todos los ámbitos en el interés común de recuperar la memoria de los grandes exploradores y descubridores españoles y de dar a conocer al mundo las aportaciones actuales de geógrafos, intelectuales y viajeros españoles. Ya no quedan en los mapas grandes espacios en blanco por rellenar y los satélites nos permiten conocer los más mínimos detalles de cualquier rincón del planeta, pero la ciencia sigue teniendo ante sí horizontes desconocidos y el ser humano, que es un explorador nato desde los tiempos prehistóricos, se siente irrefrenable- mente atraído por descubrir lo que el universo parece ocultarle. Los nuevos horizontes de la exploración científica en el siglo XXI son lugares cuyos secretos aún no han sido desvelados como los fondos marinos y las re- giones polares e, indudablemente, el espacio y en particular Marte, convertido hoy en el equivalente de lo que en su día fueron América o Australia. El conoci- miento de estas tres nuevas fronteras nos revelará mucho más sobre el mundo Junta Directiva en el que vivimos.

  • The Rise of the Indigenous Slave Trade and Diaspora from Española to the Circum-Caribbean, 1492-1542
    Indian Harvest: The Rise of the Indigenous Slave Trade and Diaspora from Española to the Circum-Caribbean, 1492-1542 By Erin Woodruff Stone Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History May, 2014 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Jane G. Landers, Ph.D. Edward Wright-Rios, Ph.D. Dan Usner, Ph.D. Steven Wernke, Ph.D. Copyright © 2014 by ErinWoodruff Stone All Rights Reserved Acknowlegdements This work would not have been possible without financial support from Vanderbilt, particulary the History Department, Graduate School, and Latin American Studies Program. I am also greatly indebted to the Institute of Internal Education, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Harvard University’s Atlantic History Seminar, and the University of Minnesota’s Program for Cultural Cooperation. I am grateful to all those I have worked with along the way who offered advice, criticism, guidance, and intellectual support. I would especially like to thank my advisor Dr. Jane Landers. She taught me invaluable personal and profession lessons, provided me with endless hours of her time, and never failed to support me. I also want to thank the rest of my committee; Dr. Edward Wright-Rios, Dr. Steven Wernke, and Dr. Dan Usner, all of whom contributed to the shape of the project and offered great, if often hard to hear criticism, from the dissertation’s inception to its completion. Outside of Vanderbilt I need to thank both Dr. Ida Altman and Dr. J. Michael Francis, both of whom read early versions of chapters, supported me at conferences, and gave me archival leads.

  • March 2020 Pole to Pole Circumnavigation Update
    March 2020 Pole to Pole Circumnavigation Update “I’ve learned that at some point you have to either accept the risks you can’t control or simply walk away. I choose to keep flying. The opportunity to expand the boundaries of general aviation, to inspire present and future generations to live their impossibly big dreams, and to be able to fly in the name of world peace, makes all the risks worthwhile.” Robert DeLaurentis The world has changed dramatically since our last update in January. The coronavirus pandemic has slowed down the pace of living for many (all “nonessential” business owners and employees) and rapidly increased the pace of living for others (healthcare workers, ventilator manufacturers, vaccine scientists). The Citizen of the World Polar Circumnavigation is still moving forward. Assuming there is a lightening up of quarantine restrictions within the next 30 days, I plan on flying over the North Pole in May when the weather warms up. And if that doesn’t happen, we’ll figure out the next step when we get there. As I put my own “Zen Moments,” into practice, I’m learning when we do the emotional and spiritual work of holding inner peace, and trust the Universe to show us the next step, Life works with us rather than us against Life and the path eventually becomes clear. We will find our way through this together and be stronger on the other side of it. BIG NEWS: Where in the World is Robert Now and What’s the Plan? Many of you have contacted me asking where I am, how I am and how the pandemic will affect me and the circumnavigation.

At its tenth meeting, the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity requested the Executive Secretary to work with Parties and other Governments as well as competent organizations and regional initiatives, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), regional seas conventions and action plans, and, where appropriate, regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) to organize, including the setting of terms of reference, a series of regional workshops, with a primary objective to facilitate the description of ecologically or biologically significant marine areas (EBSAs) through the application of the scientific criteria given in decision IX/20, annex I, as well as other relevant compatible and complementary nationally and intergovernmentally agreed scientific criteria, as well as the scientific guidance on the identification of marine areas beyond national jurisdiction, which meet the scientific criteria in annex I to decision IX/20 (see decision X/29, para. 36). 2. Subsequently, at its eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth meetings, the Conference of the Parties reviewed the outcomes of the regional workshops conducted and requested the Executive Secretary to include the summary reports prepared by the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice, as contained in the annexes to decisions XI/17, XII/22, XIII/12 and 14/9, in the repository of ecologically or biologically significant marine areas, and to transmit the summary reports to the United Nations General Assembly and its relevant processes, as well as to Parties, other Governments and relevant international organizations, in line with the purpose and procedures set out in decisions X/29, XI/17 and XII/22.
