Student Spotlight
Reuben Heine received his degree in Environmental Resources & Policy in 2005 upon completion of
his dissertation on "The Use of Position Ratio for Estimation of
Tributary Incision Caused by Base-Level Drop, Middle Missouri River,
USA." This dissertation uses the map algebra technique in GIS and
applied it to an important problem in hydrology and geomorphology.
The dissertation builds upon his masters thesis in Geography at SIU.
A paper from that thesis was published in the prestigious Annals of
the Association of American Geographers and this, along with other
research projects he has published in good journals, earned Reuben
SIU's Graduate Research Award in 2005 as well as a U.S.
patent. Choosing among three offers for tenure-track positions,
Reuben is now teaching Geography at Augustana College, a high-quality
liberal arts college in Rock Island, IL with his wife Sally and,
anytime now, their first child.
