Internet: http://wwwauburnedu/cosam/departments/geology geography/ PROGRAMS: The curricula supporting the B.A, BS, and MS degrees in Geography and Environmental Science are designed to prepare students in the fields of applied geography, biogeography, climatology, geomorphology, geospatial analysis, human-environment interactions, and planning. The BS in Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program that requires coursework in other natural sciences. The graduate program emphasizes a thesis-oriented approach to develop theoretical and methodological expertise. The graduate program allows students to concentrate in human or physical geography with a broad range of options within each. PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Department of Geology and Geography at Auburn University offers both graduate and undergraduate majors in Geography the opportunity to join faculty in their research in geospatial

analysis, cultural geography, environmental management, hazards, and climatology. Graduate study will place a special emphasis upon applied research as it relates to these sub-disciplines. Supplementing coursework is the department’s map collection and a geographic information systems laboratory. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Admission to the undergraduate major program in Geography is the same as that for admission to the College of Sciences and Mathematics. In addition to the University Core Curriculum requirements, undergraduate majors are expected to take Physical Geography, Cultural Geography, Cartography, Aerial Photography and Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems. Fifteen additional hours of geography, two semesters of a foreign language and a statistics course are also required for the major. Undergraduate majors are eligible for earning credit through internal and external internship programs. Admission to the graduate program in

Geography requires admission to the Auburn University Graduate School as well as the completion of a Bachelors degree in Geography or related field, a minimum undergraduate G.PA of 30, letters of support, and a minimum GRE score of 1000. Both thesis and non-thesis degree options are available. In both cases, students are required to take courses in Geographic Thought and Quantitative Methods and Spatial Analysis. Students choosing the thesis option will work in consultation with faculty to craft a program of study reflecting their research interests that includes at least 18 additional graduate hours of coursework and a thesis research project (6 credit hours). Students who follow the non-thesis option will complete a customized program of study that includes a minimum of 33 additional credit hours as well as successfully complete written and oral comprehensive examinations. Graduate applicants are eligible to apply for a graduate teaching or research assistantship that includes a

tuition waiver and stipend. RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Department is located in a 30,000 square foot facility near the center of campus. The Department operates the Earth Surface Dynamics Laboratory, which is well equipped for field investigations and laboratory analyses pertaining to geomorphology, soils, and watershed science. The Forest Dynamics Laboratory supports study of forest development and successional patterns, forest ecosystem ecology, and ecological plant geography. The physical lab is comprised of four rooms each devoted to specific tasks and the lab is well equipped for projects in forest research and dendroecology. The UA Library System includes six separate libraries and the university is a member of the Association of Research Libraries. The collections include over two million books, journals, and microforms, and receives more than 16,000 periodicals, serials, and newspapers. Geospatial Information Services within the Department include the GIS and Remote Sensing

Laboratory, Cartographic Research Laboratory, the Place Name Research Center, and the University Map Library. The GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory maintains a state-of-the-art facility for GIS data input, database management, spatial analysis and manipulation, and information output, as well as digital image processing of remotely sensed data. The Cartographic Research Laboratory is designed to operate in an instructional and production environment. The University Map Library, managed by the Department, contains over 300,000 maps and 70,000 aerial photographs. In addition to providing public reference service, the Map Library and Place Name Research Center function as research units in the areas of topology, toponymy and cultural resource survey.

The Geographic Sciences and Community Planning major integrates

geographic knowledge and GIS mapping technologies with the problem-solving fields of community planning and urban design. Known as Geodesign, this educational framework will prepare you to create more livable and sustainable communities while contributing to a better world. The Parks and Recreation Management program offers emphases in community and commercial recreation, outdoor and environmental leadership, and wildland recreation management. The Parks and Recreation Management degree program is also 5 Source: http://www.doksinet ARIZONA available over the Internet. The department also offers a specialist program, called the Park Ranger Training Program which is one of nine ranger training programs across the United States. This program offers a national park service approved basic law enforcement training for those seeking seasonal and permanent lawenforcement ranger jobs with the national park service. For more information see the program website at www.prmnauedu/rangers The

Park Ranger Training is also part of the Park Protection emphasis area within the PRM degree program. The Department of Geography, Planning, and Recreation also offers a 15 semester hour undergraduate certificate in parks and recreation management over the Internet, and an 18 semester hour graduate-level certificate in GIS and a 15 semester hour graduate-level certificate in Community Planning. We now offer a B.S - MS Integrated Program in Applied Geospatial Sciences For NAU undergraduate Students Majoring in B.S Geographic Sciences and Community Planning and B.S Parks and Recreation Management The Integrated B.S- MS Program offers highly qualified and mature undergraduate students the opportunity for graduate study earlier than would normally be possible. The program is open to students who have demonstrated a mastery and commitment to the emphasis areas offered in the M.S in Applied Geospatial Science Benefits of the Integrated Program include: The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is not

required. We use coursework experience in the department to evaluate this aspect of the application. Students may transfer 6 units from the BS degree to the MS degree. Students must meet with an advisor prior to application to determine the 6 units that will be transferred. These units will continue to apply to the BS degree, which means the student will have 6 fewer units to complete the two degrees. Students can graduate in 5 years with both a B.S and MS degree, if they plan their program of study appropriately. The MS Applied Geospatial Sciences degree plan is designed for students who want to pursue a career in understanding and managing land, community and environmental spatial systems, including geographic information systems (GIS), and remote sensing, and public planning and recreation. Both thesis and nonthesis plans are available. This nonthesis plan requires a professional applied paper that is overseen by your practicum committee. The Geospatial Technologies Emphasis

(nonthesis) is a Professional Science Master’s (PSM) degree. For more information on PSM degrees, visit the website of the National Professional Science Master’s Association. NAU is ideally situated for field studies and research in geography, planning and recreation. The Grand Canyon and five other national parks and the largest American Indian reservation in the U.S are all within a day’s drive of the campus Department research facilities include a well equipped GIS lab and a RIPS based remote sensing lab. Our faculty members have a long-standing commitment to provide personalized attention to the needs of the individual student through close student-faculty interaction in a friendly, intellectually stimulating campus atmosphere.

These interdisciplinary degrees also may include training in intellectual property law, technology transfer, regulatory affairs, information technology, product marketing, leadership, entrepreneurship and communication The Professional Science Master’s degree is a professional rather than a research degree. A master’s degree in many natural science fields traditionally

is a steppingstone to a doctorate rather than an end in itself. But over the past 13 years, foundations and universities have worked together to develop new master’s programs for students seeking professional skills for the 21st century global marketplace. The master’s in applied geospatial sciences has become the first degree program at NAU to be approved for affiliation as a PSM program by the Council of Graduate Schools. See geognauedu/grad/msags/indexhtml for information on NAU’s master’s in applied geospatial sciences. Methodology and Technology. The School also offers a one-year, professional MS in GIS. The School participates, with other programs, in offering a Graduate Certificate in GI Science and a Graduate Certificate in Water Policy The School supports a wide range of methodological approaches, including critical methods, GIS, qualitative methods, remote sensing, spatial econometrics, and web-based decision support systems. Strong alliances are maintained with

other departments, interdisciplinary programs, and research centers stressing the social and environmental sciences. Many affiliated faculty are actively involved in teaching and graduate training, including serving as primary advisors.

(Esri) the development of products and services for organizations interested in geographic analysis and mapping. Early research and development in cartographic data structures, specialized GIS software tools, and the creative use of emerging GIS technology by Esri set the stage for many later developments in geographic information science and technology. Today, tens of thousands of organizations worldwide, including over 7,000 universities and community colleges (3,000 in the United States), use Esri software products and

services for education, research, administration, and community service. It is estimated that more than 150,000 students per year are learning with, and about, GIS with Esri’s ArcGIS® software. ArcGIS is a system that enables users to author data, maps, globes, and models on the desktop and serve them out for use on a desktop, in a browser, or in the field via mobile devices, depending on the needs of their organization. ArcGIS gives developers tools to build their own applications. Esri’s education program managers have developed products and programs specifically for education, including a special Web portal (http://edcommunity.esricom) to support educators For K-12 schools, Esri offers licenses for individual schools, for school districts, and even for schools across an entire state. Districts both large (eg, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago) and small have established district licenses. Several US states and Canadian provinces have licenses that allow the use of Esri

software in every school in the state or province. Higher Education Lab Kits help universities establish their GIS teaching labs. The program provides Esri’s Arc Info®, Arc View®, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, ArcGIS 3D Analyst, and ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst Lab Kits and other products at substantial discounts. For educational institutions with GIS users in multiple departments, the Higher Education Site License Program (www.esricom/sitelicense) encourages the use of GIS across the campus by capping maintenance costs for all Esri software products. The site license program promotes instructional, GIScience research, and administrative use of Esri products. Site licenses include unlimited access to all Esri-authored online courses on the Virtual Campus as well as no-cost, one-year licenses of Arc Info® for non-commercial home use by individual students. Esri Press (www.esricom/esripress) supports education by publishing award-winning books on the science, application, and technology

of GIS. Three popular titles– Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop, Designing Better Maps, and GIS Tutorial– have been adopted by many institutions for use in GIS instruction. An award-winning four-book series, Our World GIS Education, is used in schools and Higher Education programs. Esri’s Virtual Campus (http://campusesricom/) offers online training in GIS technology, applications, and science. Esri offers a 40 % discount for students and faculty for Virtual Campus courses. Esri also offers university faculty and staff a 40 % discount for instructor-led classroom software training at more than 45 facilities throughout the United States. Esri organizes and hosts a series of GIScience events on topics such as spatial analysis, space-time modeling and analysis, and volunteered geographic information (VGI), as well as a GIScience track during the annual Esri International User Conference in San Diego, the results of which are published in a peerreviewed journal. Esri’s two intern

programs are an important part of its educational services. The Esri International User Conference Student Assistantship Program offers free conference attendance and room and board to students in exchange for conference work assignments. The summer internship program is designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students who are interested in careers in the software industry, geography, or GIS.

Lyons PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: Our department is dedicated to providing majors with a broad undergraduate background in geography, including cultural, physical and techniques courses. Students may choose a concentration in Environment and Society, Globalization and Identity, The Biophysical Environment or Geospatial Techniques if they desire, or they may pursue a general course of study. Our campus and most of our classes are small, providing easy contact between professor and student. Seniors write a Capstone Thesis, involving original research. We encourage our students to pursue internships, and we provide independent study for those who have a particular research topic they wish to investigate. Faculty have research interests that have direct

applicability to their classes in areas such as Quaternary geomorphology, geoarchaeology, GIS and remote sensing, biogeography, geopolitics and political ecology. We conduct research and field classes locally, as well as in Latin America and Madagascar. We possess a well-equipped GIS lab, GPS base station with receivers, a campus weather station, geomorphology lab and a climatology/meteorology library with extensive historical records. We also run the Center for Interdisciplinary Geospatial Analysis, which conducts research, education and community service with the application of geospatial technology. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Semester system. Application for admission to the program is made to the Admissions Office of the University.

The program is unified by a common interest in landscapes, spatial processes, and contemporary problems of foremost importance. The program has three major subdivisions:

Development & Environment, Local & Global Relations, and Earth System Science. Within these domains a wide range of faculty interests are represented, including political ecology, economic geography, cultural geography, modernity studies, urban studies, geography of race and gender, climatology, biogeography, biogeochemistry, glaciology, and geomorphology. Faculty come with a broad spectrum of regional specialties as well, including Africa, East Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Arctic, the Pacific Basin, California, Mexico, and Central America. The faculty has been expanded in recent years to include a number of affiliates in other departments with expertise in such fields as GIS, natural resources, fluvial geomorphology, archeology, cognition, paleoenvironments, and urban architecture. Berkeley students are expected to be independent, and we welcome those who have had professional experience and wish to return to deepen their education. Students are encouraged to range freely

through the curriculum and to follow their inspiration where it leads, working in tandem with faculty advisors. Students choose their own mentors, often conferring with two or three faculty in equal measure; these may include faculty affiliates and members from other departments. While faculty have their own research agendas and teaching specialties, and often collaborate with students, we believe students should march to their own drummer. We expect students to read extensively, develop the necessary research skills, and produce a well-crafted dissertation. Many students publish their findings along the way, as well. The University of California at Berkeley is the premier graduate research and education institution in the United States, and Geography students can take advantage of a wealth of corollary programs and faculty. Geographers regularly interact with faculty and students from the College of Natural Resources, College of Environmental Design, Energy and Resources Group, Earth

and Planetary Science, Biological Sciences, Departments of Anthropology, Sociology, Economics, Women’s Studies and Ethnic Studies in the Division of Social Sciences, and with Art History, English and others of the Humanities. The campus is rich with interdisciplinary Centers and Institutes, including International Studies, Latin American Studies, Labor Studies, Atmospheric Sciences, Southeast and East Asian Studies, Humanities, and European Studies. Collaboration with the Lawrence Laboratories is also common. Geographers direct several of these centers and students benefit from research programs, grants and symposia organized under their aegis. Geographers also provide core teaching in Development Studies, Environmental Sciences, and American Studies. Geography is housed in McCone Hall, near the lively North Gate of campus. The Earth Sciences and Map Library is downstairs. Across the glade is the Main Library, center of the system housing 11 million volumes, and the exceptional

Bancroft Library, the greatest archive of materials on Western and Central America. The Department facilities include classrooms, offices for faculty, students and visiting scholars, research laboratories, and a cartography teaching lab. Central to our operations is the Department Computer Facility, one of the best of its kind on campus and a hub of everyday faculty, staff and student operations. Its main lab, specializing in graphics and cartography, includes scanners, digitizer, and color printers, backed up by a Web Server, extensive software library, and the campus TCP-IP network. The Dickinson Library provides full-time graduate student access to workstations. We have a large range of wall-maps, projectors and copiers, as well. The Department staff provides excellent support in all areas, including student services, grants, equipment, computing and cartography. a minimum of two years before taking the Qualifying Examination and advancing to candidacy. By the end of the third

year, students entering with a BA or BS only must hand in a paper that would be suitable for submission to an academic or scientific journal. All students must take the Qualifying Exam by the end of the third year, although it is recommended that students entering with an M.A take it by the end of their second year. Before starting dissertation research, each student must have an approved Dissertation Prospectus. The PhD dissertation is written by the student under the supervision of a committee of three members of the University faculty. Financial Aid: Outstanding applicants are nominated for University Fellowships of various kinds, which top candidates are normally offered. The department also offers financial support in the form of Graduate Student Instructorships and internal fellowships from Block Grants and endowments (the Carl Sauer, the Holway, Kenneth and Florence Oberholtzer, McCone, and the Society of Woman Geographers). UNDERGRADUATE: Admission: The Berkeley campus is on a

semester calendar, with the Fall semester beginning in late August. The application filing period for the Fall semester, for both freshman and transfer applicants, is the month of November; applications must be postmarked no later than November 30. The UC application for admission to the fall term, 2012, is available in early October. You may submit an application electronically at: www.universityofcaliforniaedu/ apply or you may print the form for mailing from the same site. Online completion of the application is encouraged. Degree Requirements: Geography majors must take three lower division courses, and at least eight upper division courses. Of the latter, there are two options: majors complete five courses in one specialty group and two in the other, plus one methodology course; or majors complete four courses in one specialty group and two in the other, plus two methodology courses. The two specialty areas are Earth System Science and Economy, Culture & Society. The

Department offers a Minor which requires a minimum of five upper division courses. Students must maintain an overall grade point average of 20 for all courses taken for the minor. A minimum of three courses must be taken on the Berkeley campus. Students must take at least one course in the physical area and one course in the human area from amongst the courses listed in the range of 109175. Students may select courses in the range of 181-188, but if so there are several that have limited enrollment and require permission of the instructor.

E-mail: caruport@ucdavisedu Internet: http:// geography.ucdavisedu/ PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: Graduate degrees in Geography are offered through the Graduate Group in Geography (hereafter GGG), which is an interdepartmental group with faculty from the Colleges of Agricultural

and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineering, Letters and Science, and the Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. With over 55 geography affiliated faculty members in 20 departments across campus, in terms of the number and diversity of affiliated faculty, we are the nation’s largest geography program. The graduate group structure emphasizes shared research interests amongst faculty and students, with the flexibility to grow and quickly change to reflect emerging areas of interdisciplinary knowledge and technology. The overall focus of the program is on the natural and built environment, building on the strengths of the campus faculty. Faculty interests in the GGG are diverse and attract students in such areas as biophysical geography and related natural science and engineering fields, as well as human geography and related social science fields. A number of faculty use and teach GIS, remote sensing, modeling, spatial analysis, and related geographical

techniques, and the faculty have a strong field orientation as well. The instructional program focuses on several areas of emphasis where faculty expertise and student interest are the greatest: environmental sciences; global environmental change; landscape architecture and environmental design; methods; models and GIS; nature and society; people, place and region; and regional and community development. GIS science is a cross-cutting area of strength for the group. Faculty and students conduct their research throughout the world, with particular strength in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and California and the Western United States. Library materials are available on campus, in the State Library, and other state and federal agencies in Sacramento. The city of Sacramento, the state capital, lies 15 minutes east; San Francisco is 75 miles west. The city of Davis has a small-town friendliness and the park-like UC campus has a student body of 31,000. UC Davis is one of the

nation’s top research universities where more than 7,000 students are engaged in graduate or professional studies. The campus is near two major urban centers, within the agriculturally diverse Central Valley and in close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Nevada, providing outstanding research opportunities at UC research and field stations. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: The Geography Graduate Group offers the Master of Arts (M.A) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) degrees Normally, admission into the graduate program is for full-time status, and in Fall Quarter only. Applicants should be prepared in geography or a related field. Students must contact the faculty to identify a major professor during the admission process. The minimum admission requirement is a grade point average of B (3.0 out of 4.0) in upper-division course work taken during the applicant’s last two years as an undergraduate, or other evidence of comparable scholarship. The GRE

General Test is also required. Test should have been taken within the past five years A minimum combined score of 1,100 Verbal and Quantitative parts of the test normally is required for admission. The TOEFL iBT is required of all applicants whose native language is not English, or whose education was not in English. A minimum score of 80 is required. Complete online applications for both admission and financial aid must be received by January 2nd to the GGG for fellowship, block grants and out-of-state fee waivers.

the principal goal of UCLA’s graduate program, designed primarily for students pursuing the Ph.D degree The MA Program serves as an essential building block of the doctoral program. The doctorate is awarded to those students who have achieved the level of geographical knowledge and training required of a professional geographer. The degree affirms the ability of its holders to make scholarly contributions in their fields of specialization and to undertake advanced research in those areas. The research and teaching interests of the faculty cover major areas of geographical knowledge and underlie the graduate program. Broadly grouped these areas include biogeography, physical geography, environmental studies, human geography, regional geography, geographical procedures, and the history and philosophy of geography (see the faculty listing for specific specializations). Many other distinguished departments in cognate disciplines contribute to the strength of the department. Strong area

studies programs exist for Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. In addition to departmental faculty several other geographers teach in the Urban and Regional Planning Program. UCLA provides an enormous range of resources for graduate training and research. The library system contains over five million volumes and one of the largest collections of maps in the western United States. In the department are laboratories for work in geomorphology, climatology, biogeography, GIS, computer cartography, and quantitative methods. The campus computing facilities include access to a 3090-mainframe system, a Sun cluster, and a LAN operated by Social Sciences Computing (SSC). The SSCnet provides a high level of connectivity, flexibility, power, and service to users (including full Internet access, on-line databases, and an array of software for word-processing, database and spreadsheet, graphic and cartographic, statistical and mathematical analysis. In Southern California and neighboring Mexico

exist a seemingly infinite number of potential opportunities and sites for research. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Admission: Application deadline for entrance in Fall 2012 is December 15, 2011. All admissions materials may be found on the web at www.gdnetuclaedu All application materials must be submitted online: a personal statement, two copies of a complete set of transcripts of prior university coursework, official results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and three letters of evaluation (academic references are strongly recommended). Foreign students applying from outside the United States are not required to take the GRE but must submit official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFEL) scores. Normally one should have (1) completed the undergraduate major in geography or in a cognate field, (2) received a B.A/BS degree, (3) attained at least a 33 grade-point average (GPA) in courses taken in your junior and senior years and in the major

EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE (ESS): This systematic area emphasizes

the measurements, analysis, and modeling of hydrologic, atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial systems and the interactions between systems. A large proportion of the problems addressed by researchers in ESS involve three common elements: large regional issues; mathematical and computational modeling; and large, spatially indexed datasets. 2. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY (HG): This systematic area covers the major components of Human Geography offered by the Department, including: human spatial behavior; spatial decision-making and decision support; urban and regional modeling, planning, and policy; human movement and transportation systems; resource and environmental management; environmental ethics; human response to the changing environment. 3. MODELING, MEASUREMENT, AND COMPUTATION (MMC): This area is the investigation of those sets of techniques from the areas of analysis, statistics and computation that are particularly well-suited to the modeling of the complex, geographic phenomena that are

the subject of investigation in both ESS and HER. Important sub-areas include numerical modeling, spatial statistics, remote sensing, computational modeling and database systems (including Geographic Information Systems), and visualization, all of which are increasingly dependent on knowledge of computational theory and practice. The Masters program offers a thesis plan or an examination alternative. Coursework inside and outside of the department is used to ensure a strong program. The Ph.D program includes an in depth diagnostic interview upon entrance, and it requires an approved dissertation proposal, comprehensive examinations, and a supervisory committee for the dissertation. Both programs are designed to provide maximum flexibility and breadth while simultaneously achieving desired levels of specialization. The Geography faculty at UCSB have close research and teaching relationships with other disciplines which provide an excellent multi-disciplinary environment for graduate

education. The faculty are outstanding researchers and have a strong record of obtaining extramural funding which provides considerable support for graduate students. The faculty are notably active as authors of books and peer reviewed articles, as members of editorial boards, and as reviewers of manuscripts for professional journals. This professional activity keeps the UCSB Geography faculty at the leading edge of our discipline; indeed, two of our faculty are members of the National Academy of Science, one is a Fellow of the Royal Academy, and one received the Prix Vautrin Lud, Geography’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize. The Department of Geography is also the headquarters of the UCSB Spatial Center (spatial@ucsb) and has a strong association with the UCSB Earth Research Institute. 22 Source: http://www.doksinet CALIFORNIA Dar Roberts, PhD, Geological Sciences, University of Washington, Professor Remote sensing of vegetation; geology, ecology, and ecophysiology Dave Siegel,

Telephone (213) 7408298 Fax (213) 740-9687 Internet: http://spatialuscedu/ PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The University of Southern California has recently embarked on an initiative to build a series of spatial science programs that can help build excellence in research and teaching across the entire

university. This effort stretches from the fundamental building blocks (parts of computer science, geography and psychology) to those that can usefully modify and apply geospatial technologies and the underlying scientific concepts (archaeology, earth science, environmental studies, epidemiology, history, landscape architecture, planning, etc.) This initiative is led by the Spatial Sciences Institute and the spatial sciences are cast in terms of all the ways that geography can be used to acquire, represent, organize, analyze, model, and visualize information. 23 Source: http://www.doksinet CALIFORNIA-COLORADO The Spatial Sciences Institute is housed in the Allan Hancock Foundation Building and includes a series of faculty and staff offices, two conference rooms, an instructional computer lab and dedicated spaces for graduate and undergraduate student researchers. The Institute boasts an impressive array of computing technologies dedicated to research and education Housed within

USC’s state-of-the-art data center, the core consists of 14 multi-core processor IBM blade servers and three clustered IBM 3650m servers hosting a VMware environment. These machines power a multitude of applications, including the entire suite of industrystandard GIS applications from Esri and GPS applications from Trimble, specialty software like the Idrisi Taiga GIS and Image Processing software, the latest in virtualization technologies from Citrix, and a series of cutting-edge applications like our geocoding services that were developed in-house. As a research driven entity, the faculty, staff and students affiliated with the Spatial Sciences Institute often generate and process huge amounts of data. This workflow is typically implemented from a series of desktop PCs and laptops. The latter are frequently deployed with a variety of hand-held GPS units and used to support the field mapping courses taught on Catalina Island and a series of field research projects. On the back end,

a fiber channel SAN running high speed disk over a gigabit network ensures high availability and fast access to data. All of the aforementioned computer facilities are supported by the Dornsife College Technology Services office and a dedicated computer services consultant housed in the Spatial Sciences Institute itself.

The Air Force Academy vision is to be the Air Force’s premier institution for developing leaders of character. Geoscience graduates distinguish themselves from other graduates by the conceptual framework in which they view the world. They leverage knowledge of cultural and physical processes and digital modeling techniques to focus on the effects of space and place and interpret any landscape using an inherently geospatial approach. Geoscience graduates can both formulate and answer the following questions: 1) What are

the physical processes that shape this landscape? 2) What are the cultural processes that shape this landscape? 3) How can this landscape be digitally modeled for analysis? 4) What is the most effective manner to present analysis? The Department of Economics and Geosciences also administers a professional certificate in Geointelligence (GEOINT) that is accredited by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF). The Department maintains the Geospatial Analysis Laboratory, a state-of-theart resource for faculty and cadet research and coursework in geospatial analysis and remote sensing.

E-mail: info@geogudeledu http:// wwwudeledu/Geography/ GRADUATE PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: Delaware’s graduate programs provide opportunities to interact closely with faculty whose research interests encompass one or more of four broad areas: climatology, landsurface processes, human geography, and geographic methods. The Ph.D degree program in Geography serves as the umbrella degree for advanced research over the entire field of physical geography and related geographic methods. Our research includes climate (climate dynamics, atmospheric response modeling, climatic data analysis), cryosphere studies (sea ice, permafrost, glaciers, snowcover), land-surface processes (beach dynamics, fluvial sediment changes, vegetation change, biogeochemical changes

in forests, linkages between hydrology and ecosystem processes), geographic methods applied to physical geography and resource problems (especially GIS), and effects of climate and land surface change on human activities. The department is flexible, focusing on individual interests and encouraging multidisciplinary work. Students in the PhD program specialize in one of two concentrations: Climatology or Land-Surface Processes. Delaware’s masters programs in Geography provide individualized coursework and professional training, with an emphasis on developing research and analytic abilities, as well as professional communication skills. A thesis is required of all masters students. Graduate GIS Certificate program is designed to provide the theoretical underpinnings of GIS to make informed use of geographic technologies and to gain the technical skills needed to construct and solve problems in the physical and social realms. The program requires one core graduate GIS course followed by

the selection of one of three tracks - Technician, Analyst, and Developer. Topical Emphases: Climatology emphasizes the study of interactions between atmospheric and land-surface processes and their role in environmental problems. Faculty research interests fall within all the traditional subareas of climatology, including climate dynamics, hydroclimatology, physical climatology, microclimatology, paleoclimatology, and synoptic weather-analysis climatology. Human impacts on energy and moisture exchanges, and climatic influences on socioeconomic activities are of increasing importance and allow many opportunities for interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research. Land-surface processes encompasses research where primary processes in the soil, vegetative layer, or other aspects of the near-surface landscape, even if such processes are sometimes controlled or heavily influenced by climate. Such interests have included permafrost and periglacial geomorphology, glacier dynamics and

glacier variations with their effects on geomorphology of alpine glacial forelands, small-scale erosion and sedimentation processes on ocean beaches and small streams, effects of forest cover on hydrological and geochemical flows and the linkages between hydrology and ecosystem processes. Cryosphere studies feature heavily in both climate and land-surface research, including snowcover and snowfall studies, effects of snow on trees and vice versa, glaciers, permafrost, Arctic climatology, and periglacial and glacial geomorphology all represent this area. In addition, we have substantial research projects in sea-ice dynamics and development of sea-ice datasets. Human geographers at Delaware have closely followed the remaking of the cultural and economic landscape of the Western world following the end of the Cold War and the rise of energy issues, climate change, and globalization as the motivating forces for geographic change. Recent research topics include the cultural rebirth of the

Baltic countries, the economics of carbon-emissions trading, studies of legal and illegal immigrant connections between the mid-Atlantic and Central America, and geographic patterns of disease in the region. Graduate research topics may follow a wide range of related topical areas Field research and measurement provide a major tool of research in this department. The Delaware Environmental Observing System (DEOS) established and maintains thirty automated weather stations in Delaware and nearby, providing real-time weather information for regional environmental research as well as for a wide variety of outside users. Another large ongoing project is the participation of UD geographers in the Circumpolar Active-Layer Monitoring (CALM) project which brings several of them annually to the north slope of Alaska for permafrost and related periglacial environmental monitoring. Recent microclimatic and biogeographic measurements have been carried on along the Appalachian ridgeline, in

Michigan, and nearby at a forest reserve in Maryland. Geomorphic and periglacial studies have been carried out across the continent in the Cascades, but also locally on Delaware beaches, Virginia streams, and in the pinelands of New Jersey. Human geography also includes field research on transnational connections between Guatemala and southern Delaware, understanding of communities and their changes in Delaware and Philadelphia, and the nature of the community and its social characteristics right here in Newark. Research methods also encompass analysis and synthesis of existing data, including data from observational networks, remote sensing sources, the census, and other archival sources. Geographic Information Science (GIS) is used as an analysis and presentation tool in all of our research areas, and nearly all of our graduate students opt for significant training in GIS. GIS skills are complemented by training in remote-sensing, image analysis, statistical methods, and database

programming. Although all masters and doctoral theses require topical research areas, emphasis on the research methods is commonly allowed at the masters level. The Graduate GIS Certificate Program prepares students to utilize GIS in their program area of study by developing the student’s theoretical underpinnings of GIS and to develop their technical skills. The University and Department cover all student and faculty computing and computer network needs at several levels. All graduate student offices include department-provided workstations The University provides licensed software sufficient for a wide variety of uses, including GIS and statistical analysis software The Geography Department operates the University’s GIS classroom as a state-of-theart teaching facility and also maintains a lab for graduate and professional level research using GIS and image analysis software. Departmentally owned workstations and data servers handle most of our data-intensive applications,

including GIS. A computer programmer/analyst assist with use of these resources. The Department’s computing resources are supplemented by high-end Unix servers at the University level and by supercomputer resources available through SURA-Grid, supporting some of our larger data analysis projects and our atmospheric modeling. The Department maintains a strong interest in geographic education, and graduate students can participate in outreach activities at local, regional, and national levels. The Delaware Geographic Alliance is headquartered in the Department and employs a full-time coordinator Its mission is to enhance education at the K–12 level throughout the state of Delaware, primarily through providing existing teachers with resources and education. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: The University operates on the semester system. Admission requirements are an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (4-point scale) and combined verbal and quantitative GRE scores of

1050 for the masters programs or 1100 for the Ph.D Applicants scoring lower on these criteria may be considered if they demonstrate superior aptitude in other respects. Admission is competitive and is based on the number of well-qualified applicants and the availability of faculty and financial resources. The graduate program will consider applicants without previous background in geography, although remedial work may be required as a condition of acceptance. Admission requirements for the Ph.D program also include a thesis-based masters degree in geography or a discipline closely related to the proposed area of study, and demonstrated mathematical training, including courses through ordinary differential equations. Financial support is available through fellowships, research assistantships, and teaching assistantships. Financial support for entering graduate students is awarded on a competitive basis.

Standard geography related software used on these computers include ArcGIS Desktop, and various multimedia atlases. This lab is the home of a digital GIS data depository It also serves as the student lounge/project work room. A multimedia-equipped Physical Geography Lecture/Lab is used for Introductory Physical Geography and Atmospheric Science instruction. Located within Daniels Hall is the Department’s Geography Alumni Memorial Weather Station, a gift from department alumni. The station has high quality weather sensing instruments on the roof of the building and a computer display in the

main lobby. Data are archived for student research applications The Department has received an equipment grant form the Trimble Corporation consisting of a GPS unit and associated software. The Elmhurst College GIS Certificate Program is under the auspices of the Elmhurst College School Office of Adult and Graduate Admission (OAGA) and is geared towards working professionals in the area of geographic information systems (GIS). The Program is entirely online and includes a total of four (4) courses: one in GIS/Remote Sensing, one in the advanced use of GIS, and two in information systems including python programming and the implementation of geodatabases. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND FINANCIAL AID: Elmhurst College operates on a 4-1-4 academic calendar. There is a Fall term, a January term and a Spring term. To earn a Bachelor of Arts or Science Degree, a minimum of 32 courses are required (128 semester hours). A major in Geography requires a minimum of 9.5 courses while a

minor requires 4 courses A major in Applied Geospatial Technologies (AGT) requires 10.5 courses, including a geospatial internship. A minor in GIS requires five courses Preparation necessary for a student to successfully complete the program of study at Elmhurst College is determined by a review of a student’s previous academic record and supporting credentials. Emphasis is placed on how well a student has succeeded in recent or current educational experiences. The College administers a wide variety of institutional, state and federal financial aid programs, including scholarships, grants, loans and student employment opportunities. Elmhurst offers a number of merit scholarships to students who have outstanding academic achievement or have 47 Source: http://www.doksinet ILLINOIS exhibited skill in a specialized area. Most financial aid, however, is awarded to those students demonstrating financial need. In recent years, approximately 65% of all full-time students, and 30% of

eligible part-time students, have received financial assistance. The Geography Teacher Certification major prepares students to become teachers in grades 6 through 12 and helps them gain certification as Geography and Social Science teachers. The requirements are similar to those in the non-teaching major with additional certification courses in the College of Education. Student teaching is part of the Teacher Certification requirement. The department has three interdisciplinary minors requiring substantial course work in geography: Environmental Studies, Urban Studies and Tourism Studies. Four themes which are separate from the minors bridge the differences in faculty expertise and training.

Junior and Senior students may undertake projects in independent study or internships. Physical facilities include a map depository of the Army Map Service and USGS; the VU Weather Center; Dual-Polarization

Doppler Weather Radar; and the F.P Kallay GIS Laboratory The Department and the University emphasize close contacts between faculty and students, especially through field courses. Many students take advantage of one of Valparaiso’s International Study Programs in China, Japan, England, France, Germany, or Mexico. VU students are given opportunities to attend and present papers at professional conferences, to serve on research teams, to experience travel-study, and to organize and participate in local programs. Valparaiso University’s Geography Department has established and maintains a long held tradition in securing entrance into graduate programs. PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The goal of the graduate program in geography is to prepare students to carry on creative and productive research involving the development, use, and further elaboration of geographic methods and theories. It prepares students for positions in research, teaching, or applied geography. Success in

achieving these goals has been demonstrated by the strong demand for University of Iowa graduates to fill positions on college and university faculties, in private research organizations, and in business and government. Our graduate program focuses on investigating the environmental consequences of human decisions at local, regional and global scales. Geographic information science as well as the theories and models of the environmental and social sciences are central to this endeavor. Within this focus we specialize in four areas: environmental studies (including land use/land cover change and water quality and policy), health geography (including environmental health, decision support, and spatial analysis), international studies (including global health, and land use), and GIScience (including remote sensing, visualization, and spatial modeling). We require students to develop programs that take advantage of more than one of these areas. The central feature of the graduate program

is the responsibility we accord to students to design a program of courses, seminars, independent study, and research to meet their interests, background, and goals. Each student works closely with an advisor in designing this program. Faculty and graduate students frequently collaborate on research; students are encouraged to participate in regional and national professional meetings; and in seminars, reading groups, and a departmental colloquium that foster community and intellectual exchange. The university and the city of Iowa City provide a stimulating social, cultural, and academic environment. Excellent bookstores, galleries, and the worldclass Iowa Center for the Performing Arts provide big city advantages without the high costs and inconveniences of city living. The B.A or BS degree in geography is not a prerequisite for entry into the program, but students are expected to have an undergraduate background relevant to pursuing graduate work in their specialty within geography.

Depending on the strength and suitability of their prior training, however, students may be required to take courses that are prerequisites for courses in their elected areas. Faculty participate in a variety of multidisciplinary research and teaching programs through the Center for Global & Regional Environmental Research, the Environmental Modeling and Assessment Facility, the Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination, the Public Policy Center, several of the projects under International Programs, the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Informatics, the Quaternary Studies Group, the College of Public Health, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Members of the faculty maintain close working relations with faculty from many disciplines across campus, and students are encouraged to explore such opportunities. The department houses and maintains two computer facilities: the Geographic Information Systems Instructional Laboratory (GISIL) and a

departmental research laboratory. GISIL, which is the teaching facility for GIS and GIS applications courses, is equipped with 24 workstations. Additional equipment includes scanners, digitizers and printers, and a wide variety of software for mapping, statistical analysis, and GIS. The department’s research facility for GIS and spatial analysis houses workstations, digitizers, plotters and printers.

Each is well supported by faculty strength throughout the university and by appropriate laboratory and library facilities. The environment program is composed of physical geography (geomorphology, soils, Quaternary studies,

and bio/geochemistry) and atmospheric sciences (meteorology, climatology, and paleoclimatology). The department has specialized research laboratories for soils, sedimentology, palynology, and rock magnetics. The GIS-cartography-remote sensing program is a highly interconnected unit that builds on pioneering work in cartography and remote sensing begun at Kansas in the 1950s under George Jenks and David Simonett, respectively. The GIS program emphasizes spatial data management, dissemination, geovisualization, and spatial analysis and modeling. Current remote-sensing research includes a wide range of environmental and agricultural issues at scales from small watersheds to continents. Cartographers concentrate primarily on design, visualization, history of cartography, and novel display methods. The department houses its own cartographic and GIS service center. Geographers also are the major participants in the university’s remote-sensing applications center. The cultural/regional

programs take advantage of Kansas’s well-developed interdisciplinary language and area-studies centers for Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and Russia-East Europe. All four of these centers have been designated National Resource Centers by the U.S Department of Education during the past decade. The university’s American Studies program and its TR Smith map collection are similarly regarded as among the best in the nation. Specific strengths within the cultural realm include political economy, development studies, indigenous studies, social theory and historical, humanistic, political, and economic geography. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Admission to graduate standing requires superior academic performance at the undergraduate level and demonstrated competence in physical, human, and regional geography, and in geographic techniques. GRE scores and an application fee are required. The university follows the two-semester system with nine credit hours as

the usual load. Thesis hours, directed readings, and some course work are also offered during an eight-week summer session. The Geography M.A thesis program requirement is for thirty hours of graduate-level work, including the thesis. Two seminars and distribution requirements are designed to provide a core of training in human, physical, regional, and techniques. These are supplemented by courses in the student’s area of interest The Atmospheric Science M.S thesis program requirement is for thirty hours of graduate-level work, including the thesis. The breadth of the program and the diverse research topics explored by the faculty are able to accommodate students with a variety of interests. A greater degree of specialization is expected for the Geography Ph.D Sixty hours beyond the M.A are required, including twenty to thirty hours of work on the dissertation. There are various options to satisfy the foreign languages and/or other research skills requirement, including reading

knowledge of one foreign language and proficiency in a research skill related to the candidate’s area of specialization. Several sources of financial aid are available to graduate students. Teaching and research assistantships within the department, the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program, the Kansas and U.S Geological Surveys, and the Area Studies Centers are the primary sources of aid; limited funds are also available for the summer period. Other sources of support include GraduateSchool Honors Fellowships, Dissertation Fellowships, work study, student loans, and the several categories of grants from the Office of Education, the National Science Foundation, and similar organizations.

Telephone (410) 4552002 Fax (410) 455-1056 Internet: wwwumbcedu/ges PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The department offers B.A and BS degrees in geography, a BS in environmental science, a BA in environmental studies, and a certificate in GIScience. The department has two graduate programs: a Masters of Professional Studies (M.PS) in GIS, and a MS and PhD in Geography and Environmental Systems. The department’s undergraduate curriculum includes introductory course work in physical and human geography and environmental science. Students take upper division courses based upon their degree programs (see our website for specifics) but generally all students take a broad range of courses that include human and physical geography, environmental science, environmental studies and GIS. Each students major program is designed in consultation with a faculty advisor in order to ensure both breadth and rigor in academic preparation for graduate school or professional employment. Students are

encouraged to complete internships with public agencies, private-sector companies, or nonprofit organizations. Opportunities are also available for involvement in faculty research projects or in student-designed projects that may be funded through competitive awards available from the University. The Professional Studies Certificate in GIS and the Masters of Professional Studies in GIS are intended to provide an advanced level of education to professionals working in the region?s robust geospatial technology industry. The two programs have a particular focus on the information systems and computer science aspects of GIS and are intended to provide professionals with specialized training in the technical and analytical aspects of GIS. The graduate program has three areas of concentration available to students: (1) Environmental Systems, including water resources and earth-surface processes, ecosystem science, and atmospheric processes; (2) Human Geography, with an emphasis on coupled

human-natural systems including the impacts of human activities on the environment, the socioeconomic consequences of environmental degradation, and environmental policy; and (3) Geographic Information Science and Remote Sensing. Research on the urban environment is a particular strength among the opportunities available through our program. UMBC was the recipient of a NSF-funded IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education, Research and Training) grant focused on Water in the Urban Environment which ended in 2010; we applied for a renewal of the IGERT in 2011. The areas of concentration identified above are not separate programs and do not have separate application requirements; students may elect to pursue a program of study that draws from multiple areas to suit their particular needs. The department is at the interface between natural science, social science, public policy, engineering and information technology, with faculty who have background and collaborative relationships in both

research and teaching related to all of these areas. The spatial perspective central to Geography as a discipline provides an analytical framework that bridges disciplinary boundaries and utilizes the tools of GIS to assist in our understanding of complex patterns in the natural and human environment. Collaborative relationships with other academic programs on campus include Public Policy, Economics, the School of Aging Studies, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mathematics and Statistics, Biological Sciences, and Physics. The environment is a key focus area of education and research on the UMBC campus. In addition to a core group of interested faculty from the natural sciences, social sciences and engineering, the campus hosts the field headquarters of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES), an NSF and U.S Forest Service-supported Urban Long-Term Ecological Research Site; the Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology (JCET) and Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center (GEST),

both of which are components of a NASA/UMBC consortium focusing on earth systems science and the application of remote sensing technology to monitoring of the earth?s atmosphere and surface; the Center for Urban Environmental Research and Education (CUERE), focusing on the environmental, social and economic consequences of landscape transformation associated with urban and suburban development; and the U.S Geological Survey Water Science Center for the MDDE-DC region, which is located in the campus Research Park with a staff of 60+ personnel. In addition UMBC is a partner, along with several other University of Maryland institutions as well as other research universities and federal agencies, in the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), part of a national CESU network. The concentration of environment-related research activity on campus provides a rich and diverse set of opportunities for prospective graduate students entering our program. The Department has

three labs: a GIS/Remote Sensing lab with a Windows 7 network, currently offering 33 workstations and related peripheral devices with access to the full range of ESRI and ERDAS software along with selected other packages; the cartography instruction lab has 17 Macintosh G5 Intel core2duo workstations equipped with the capability of producing the highest professional quality graphics; the environmental science lab has 24 seats and supports multiple classes in environmental science and ecology. Additional facilities are available on campus for IGERT trainees and for undergraduate and graduate students working on projects at CUERE, including specialized GIS and visualization laboratories, a hydrology laboratory and local hydrologic data collection networks, and analytical labs for processing of water, sediment and soil samples. USGS has installed field monitoring stations on campus that can be used for training purposes. There are a broad range of internship opportunities in the region as

well as on campus through BES, CUERE, JCET/GEST, and USGS. UMBC is an outstanding geographic location for students and faculty. Baltimore is within convenient driving distance of New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C The proximity of the Appalachians, the Piedmont, and the Coastal Plain, including the Chesapeake Bay, offers many research opportunities. In addition to UMBC?s own library facilities, other research libraries and facilities are readily accessible at the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland College Park, the Pratt Library of Baltimore, the U.S Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, the Library of Congress, and the National Archives I and II. In addition, the proximity of UMBC to the federal agency universe of the Washington D.C area (eg, EPA, Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, Transportation, NASA, NAOA, USFS, NPS, USGS) provides extraordinary opportunities for students.

The School is central to a private institution of approximately 2,300

undergraduates and 950 graduate students. A liberal arts tradition is joined with the University-College in which faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates engage in joint teaching and research and crossdisciplinary exchange. The School offers an undergraduate and doctoral program covering all domains of Geography and an interdisciplinary undergraduate degree in Global Environmental Studies. An Earth Systems Science (ESS) concentration is offered to those majoring in the interdepartmental/interdisciplinary Environmental Science major. The undergraduate program permits qualified students to enter an Accelerated M.A in GIS program The graduate program in geography accepts students holding either a B.A/BS or MA/MS and seeking a PhD only Although not required for the Ph.D program, a Master’s degree is available en route to the doctorate. An MA in GIS for Development and Environment (GISDE) is also available (see below). The School includes 18 faculty members with teaching and

research interests that cover the breadth of geography and cross disciplinary boundaries. Faculty and students in the School maintain a high level of grant- and contract-supported research conducted throughout the world dealing with human-environment, remote sensing-GIS, urban-economic, earth system science, gender, globalization, and related themes; specific ongoing projects can be found on the School’s web site (www.clarkuedu/departments/geography) In addition, the School publishes Economic Geography, an internationally peer-reviewed journal founded in 1925 and owned by Clark University. Economic Geography is currently ranked 3rd in Geography and 9th in Economics with ISI citation impact factor of 3,452 (2009) (www.clarku edu/econgeography), and the School is closely linked to the George Perkins Marsh Institute (see Institute’s listing), a consortium of research centers and the Jeanne X. Kasperson Research Library, that facilitates interdisciplinary and multi-institutional

research on nature-society relationships. Clark Labs, a research center developed within the School creates and distributes the Idrisi, Earth Trends Modeler and Land Change Modeler software systems. Clark University is located on a 35-acre campus within Worcester, the heart of central Massachusetts. Eight other universities and colleges in the city and surrounding area form the Worcester Consortium for Higher Education. The School maintains an extensive Map and Digital Library that is a depository for federal agencies, a graduate computer room and student lounge, office or desk space for most graduate students, and CoFERT (Computer Facility for Environmental Research and Teaching), an advanced computing lab shared with the Marsh Institute. The Graduate School of Geography and Clark’s Department of International Development, Community, and Environment (IDCE) jointly offer a Master of Arts degree in Geographic Information Sciences for Development and Environment. The degree is

designed as a three or four semester program for early and midcareer professionals with responsibilities in mapping, environmental database development, resource management, planning, policy implementation and environmental monitoring. For further information, contact the IDCE Department Telephone (508)793-7201; Fax (508) 793-8820; Internet: http://www.clarkuedu/ departments/geography/maprograms/gisde.cfm ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Undergraduate: Semester system. The School of Geography’s undergraduate program emphasizes a broad education in the field of geography with specializations in urban-economic, human-environment, GIS-remote sensing, and earth system science. Geography majors are required to become proficient in research methods and are encouraged to gain skills in quantitative methods, GIS, and mapping. Students with an outstanding academic record are eligible to participate in the Geography Honors program, which involves the completion of a

two-semester independent honors project conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. Many geography majors study abroad, and qualified majors may be selected for Clark’s prestigious Human-Environment Regional Observatory (HERO) Program, a nationally competitive NSF REU Site program, which includes paid summer research fellowships and a year-long research seminar (http://www.clarkuedu/ departments/hero/). The School also offers a major in Global Environmental Studies (GES) and a concentration in Earth Systems Science (ESS) in Clark’s Environmental Science major. GES focuses on the economic, cultural, and political forces that produce environmental transformation and affect sustainability, and economic and social justice. ESS examines the operation of the earth system--the biophysical connections among land, atmosphere, and oceans. Both majors offer such technical skills as remote sensing and geographical information systems for those students seeking them as well as an array

of internships, study abroad, and special study programs. GES majors and ESS concentrators are qualified to apply for the various honors and related programs noted above for geography. The Accelerated Degree Program gives qualifying Clark undergraduate students access to our highquality graduate programs. Applicants to the program who meet certain eligibility requirements can receive a tuition scholarship during their Fifth Year to pursue a M.A degree For further information regarding academic plan, admission requirements and financial aid, please contact Undergraduate Admissions Office, Clark University, 950 Main Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01610-1477.

FACILITIES: Founded in 1837, Mount Holyoke became the premier model upon which other colleges for women were shaped. From an original class of 80 students, Mount Holyoke has grown to encompass an ethnically, racially, and culturally diverse student body of over 1,900 women, a faculty of 200, and an extraordinary array of academic facilities spread across an 800-acre campus. The College offers majors in 49 fields and a curriculum constantly enriched by new and innovative courses. Mount Holyoke College is in South Hadley, Massachusetts, 5 miles north of the city of Holyoke and 12 miles north of Springfield. The Five-College towns of Northampton and Amherst are both 10 miles away. The college is 90 miles from Boston and 150 miles from New York City. Mount Holyoke is a member of the Five College consortium, sharing academic and cultural resources with Amherst, Hampshire, and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts. The more than 30,000 students attending the institutions may

take courses, use library resources, and attend cultural and social events at any of the Five Colleges. The Department of Geology and Geography at Mount Holyoke College offers Bachelors Degrees in Geology and Geography. Geography has been taught since the college’s founding; in 1930 the combined department was created, with separate majors in each discipline. Currently, the department consists of four geographers and four geologists. Geography courses serve as a core for the International Relations major and the department cooperates closely with interdisciplinary programs in Environmental Studies, African Studies, American Studies, and Women Studies. Faculty in Geology have active research programs which take them and their students to eastern Canada, Africa, Alaska, Mexico, the American Southwest, and the Canadian Rocky Mountains and Arctic. The Connecticut Valley is a prime location for fieldtrips which are a critical component of our program. The Williston Library stores USGS and

AMS depository maps; the Library also contains more than 1,850 periodical subscriptions and its total collection is 670,000 volumes which includes books, serials and bound periodicals; and students are able to access the Five College library system from department computers. The GeoProcessing Lab hosts state of the art hardware and software necessary for moderm GIS and Remote Sensing applications. All 14 Dual Core workstations are networked and connected to four data-map-application servers, plotter, printers, desktop, and large format scanners.

E-Mail: mdevivo@grcc.edu Program: The Geography program at Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) seeks to achieve excellence by integrating a rich and challenging curriculum with field studies in the U.S and abroad, while also making substantive contributions to geographical research and scholarship. Seven

undergraduate courses are offered; each requires students to participate in various levels of fieldwork. Field experiences examine both the natural environment and the cultural landscape; for example, the geography of viticulture and wine in Michigan is examined in physical geography and cultural geography courses. A highly competitive study abroad course to South Africa is scheduled annually, which includes safaris in the Sabi Sands and Timbavati reserves. Students demonstrating academic talent and a strong desire to contribute to humanity are selected to participate in Sustainability in the Face of Globalization: Southern Africa’s Lands and Peoples, and they are required to engage in field research devoted to sustainable development, environmental conservation, and women’s empowerment initiatives in Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Geography majors are expected to make presentations at academic conferences; several have received scholarships and awards for field studies, completion of the

baccalaureate, and conference participation. Alumni have been successful in gaining funding to pursue M.A and PhD degrees in geography at a number of graduate programs including Syracuse University, the University of Missouri, the University of Texas, and Ohio University. The GRCC chapter of Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU) was chartered in 2007 and remains the only community college chapter of the International Geographical Honor Society in existence. Honorary membership is awarded to selected individuals that have advanced the discipline through exploration, research, teaching, and publication. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof was awarded honorary membership in 2011. Through the integration of Mr Kristof’s writings into the geography curriculum, GRCC students have been sparked to play a role in alleviating problems facing women in poverty in Less Developed Countries. The Lambda Upsilon chapter actively engages in fundraising to provide scholarships for the education of girls in

Sub-Saharan Africa. GTU also contributes to the sponsorship of the GRCC Race and Ethnicity Conference, which includes an annual keynote lecture by a geographer of distinction as part of the Visiting Geographical Scientist Program (VGSP).

Paleontology Curator of Paleontology, Museum of the RockiesSystematics of Paleobiology, Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Bachelor of Arts program and the Bachelor of Sciences program are designed to provide students with an integrative, liberal-arts education. The programs are offered with or without an option Areas of option include community and environmental planning (BA), and physical geography (B.S) The department offers an Undergraduate Certificate in GIS Sciences and Technologies and houses an undergraduate Minor in Mountain Studies. The minor takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of mountain geography and human-mountain relations, drawing on courses in geography, geosciences, biology, forestry, and recreation management . Students majoring in secondary education may elect geography as a major area of emphasis The Master of Arts program requires the completion of a minimum of 30 graduate credits, a thesis, and demonstrated

competence in a symbolic language (a foreign language, mathematics, or computer science). It typically requires a commitment of two years The Master of Sciences program allows one to pursue a degree in general geography, or a degree within one of two options: cartography and GIS, or community and environmental planning. Requirements for graduate credits and the thesis (e.g, thesis, professional paper, and non-thesis tracks) vary among the general degree and the options and generally require a commitment of two years. The symbolic language requirement must be met with a graduate level course in quantitative methods. Interdepartmental collaboration and research based upon field work are encouraged.

Our curriculum and research specialize in the study of desert and mountain landscapes and people in arid and mountainous environments. The Department emphasizes the integration of human and physical geography and encourages the use of geospatial technologies (GIS, Remote Sensing, and Cartography). Our approach encourages problem solving that utilizes spatial reasoning and the analysis of questions at multiple spatial scales: local, regional and global. The Department of Geography houses a dendrochronology laboratory and palynology laboratory for paleoclimate reconstruction, the office of the State Climatologist and UNR weather station, an extensive map collection, and equipment

for field studies focusing on mountain environments, climatology, environmental reconstruction and water resources. The Department contains a laboratory for cartography and computer mapping and a center for the study of geographic information systems (GIS). There are exceptional facilities for the analysis of remotely sensed data available through the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, of which the Department is a part. The University is comprised of the full range of programs and facilities found in land-grant institutions. The Knowledge Center at the University contains an excellent journal collection. GRADUATE: Geography at Nevada emphasizes the study of landscape change and human-environment interactions in arid and mountainous landscapes. The Department emphasizes the integration of human and physical geography and encourages the use of geospatial technologies (GIS, Remote Sensing, Cartography). Our department has a strong physical geography component that seeks to

understand pattern and process within nature. We have strengths in cultural and historical geography that seek to understand pattern and process within societies. Where studies of nature and society meet, we study the effects of human ideas, systems and activities on the environment. And looking at human-environment interactions from a different perspective, our work also encompasses how the environment establishes contexts and constraints for human ideas, systems and activities. Reno is uniquely situated for the study of geography and land use planning in a growing state. The location offers ready access to the Sierra Nevada, high deserts, the Basin & Range physiographic province, and to recreational and research opportunities at Lake Tahoe, with Reno a three-hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area. ACADEMIC PLAN, ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCIAL AID: Semester system. Admission to the graduate program is determined from a combination of grade point average, GRE scores,

statement of purpose, and three letters of reference. Applications are due February 01 for the following Fall semester. See the university catalog for academic requirements for each program There are, at present, eighteen graduate teaching and research assistantships available.
