It would be more beneficial to list geographers as FAMOUS, as those who have greatly contributed to the history and concepts of geography.

Does anybody know of a list of modern people who have studied Geography and then gone on to be successful/use their skills? I need to write an inspiring piece for my school to hopefully persuade more students to choose Geography at GCSE level. Help anybody??
