Design rationale
The arms are primarily based on his English and Scottish ancestry. The cross shin-bones is a feature of the Newton family arms. Within the shield is the blue Spring Gentian representing the Newton family ancestral home of County Durham, England; opposite is the California poppy, signifying his status as a California native. The red lion featured on the crest represents the ancestral home of Perth, Scotland on his maternal side. Both globe and motto represent his continuing interest and teachings within the academic field of geography.
