Speaker profile

Alton C. Byers:
Mountain geographer (alpine ecosystems, climate change, glacial hazards, integrated conservation and development programs) and mountaineer. He received his PhD (1987) from the University of Colorado, where he studied landscape change, soil erosion, and vegetation dynamics in Sagarmatha National Park. In 1990, he became an environmental advisor at the Mountain Institute (TMI). In 2015, he joined the Institute for Polar and Alpine Studies (INSTAAR) at the University of Colorado, Boulder as a senior research associate and faculty member. He has been involved in various research, writing, and teaching projects in the Himalayas, Andes, Appalachia, and Rocky Mountains. In recognition of his work, he has received the Sir Edmund Hillary Mountain Heritage Medal, the American Alpine Club David Brower Nature Conservation Award, and the Association of American Geographers Distinguished Career Award. He is co-editor of the textbook Mountain Geography: Human and Physical Dimensions.

Elizabeth A. Byers:
Works in the Watershed Assessment Division of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, USA. At the Department of Environmental Protection, he is involved in the development and implementation of an assessment tool that will become law in West Virginia in early 2022. He has conducted research in wetland and alpine vegetation ecology, natural heritage ecology, hydrology, and conservation in the Himalayas, the East African Rift Valley, the Andes, the Rocky Mountains, and the Appalachian Mountains. In 2000, he released the e-book (mobile plant identification guide app) "Wildflowers of Mount Everest" for Apple and Android devices. In addition to ecological research, he is also involved in the "Glacier Lake Risk Assessment and Restoration" project.

2024 Hokkaido Geographical Society Autum Conference and General Meeting

Excursion (on foot) "Walking the history and topography of the Anpan Road and its surrounding areas"

Date: Sunday, October 20, 2024, 9:25-11:30, will be held even in light rain

Meeting time: 9:25, Tsukisamu Chuo Station, Toho Subway Line, near Exit 1, ground level

Disbandment: around 11:30, Minamihiragishi Station, Namboku Subway Line

Guide: Satoshi Wada (city walking researcher)

Born in Sapporo in 1972, after graduating from the Faculty of Law at Nihon University, he worked at an advertising agency and as an editor for the local information magazine "O. tone" before going independent. He unravels the history of Sapporo from old maps and old photographs, and disseminates information through magazine serials, YouTube, television and radio programs, and lectures. In 2015, he served as a guide for NHK's "Buratamori". His books include the "Walking the Sapporo Area with Old Maps" series (Ataru Publishing / 2020-). A commemorative lecture is scheduled for November 7, 2024 at the Hokkaido Convention of the National Junior High School Social Studies Education Research Association (Hotel Lifert).

This walking tour will be guided by city walking researcher Wada Tetsu, who will observe and explain the conflict between the former Tsukisamu Village and the former Hiragishi Village, the Anpan Road, and the surrounding terrain (height difference). However, please note that the route is hilly and there is only one rest stop along the way (Tsukisamu Park).

Course (planned): Meet at Tsukisamu Chuo Station on the Toho Subway Line → Former Toyohira Town Hall → Mochizuki Samukawa → Tsukisamu Park → Hitsujigaoka-dori → Former HTB Site → Hiragishi Takadai Park → Disband at Minami Hiragishi Station on the Namboku Subway Line
