Ryan Thrussell About the Authors It's been a long joun1ey, but we've finally made it: Volume Two of Trail Six: an undergraduate journal of geography! Volume Two of Trail Six is just a sampling of the excellence UBC Geographers have come to be known for. The UBC Department of Geography's continued commitment to the enhancement of the undergraduate experience has made this journal possible, and the active engagement of our professors have influenced the passion evident in the following pages. It would be impossible to list all the people who helped bring this volume together, but we're going to try. Many thanks go out to Dr. Graeme Wynn for his continuous support and for even holding an editing workshop for our editorial board; to Sally Hermansen, the undergraduate chair, for helping rally together support from the faculty; to Karen Young, for providing the vital communication link between students, faculty and staff; to the editorial board, for tirelessly editing papers despite their own workload to contend with; to the Geography Students' Association, for always supporting us-both financially and emotionally-and last but not least, to all those who submitted to the journal. The support and enthusiasm of the student body has truly made Trail Six a leader in blending the fine lines between the social and physical sciences at UBC, an interdisciplinary melange proud to call Geography home. This year's cover photo is the winning entry to the Geography Students' Association first annual photo contest.

Congratulations, Michael, and many thanks to all those who participated in the photo contest. This year also marks Trail Six's leap onto the national scene, with 5
