Anya Butt has taught at Central College since 2002, taking over the environmental studies program and growing it into a more dynamic, applied program. She brings to the program experience working with soil erosion in Kenya, climate change in the Antarctic ecosystems and stream restoration in the Lake Tahoe Basin. She is a certified GIS Professional and strongly believes her students all benefit from incorporating geospatial technologies into their degree. Since coming to Central, she has also obtained a postgraduate certificate from the University of Manchester in global health and is active in the Iowa Geographic Information Council and the IOWA Statemap Advisory Board.
