Hello. My name is Josh Vertalka. I grew up in Northern Michigan. I just completed my Master’s Thesis, which focused on adapting airports in juxtaposition with surrounding communities to the extreme social and physical negativities associated with meteorological hazards. After receiving my Masters Degree I joined Michigan State’s Geography Department with interests centering on urban cities, extreme events, and mega events. These interests sparked from a number of critical events including my study abroad experiences in South Korea, China, and Japan. My recent research involves the spread of the 1918 influenza pandemic in British India and adapting airports to meteorological hazards. I am excited to begin researching various urban issues with Global Urban Studies Department. |
