[Last] Faculty and Administration Geography The Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation Chair in Geographical Studies The Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation Chair in Geographical Studies was created through the Birch Foundation's grant to the Geography Department to endow a chair and create a Center for Earth Systems Analysis Research. Dr. Arthur Getis, internationally recognized for his expertise in theory and methodology of spatial analysis applied to urban and economic systems, is the second holder of the Chair. The Major Geography is the study of spatial aspects of the physical environment, human activities and landscapes, and the nature of their interactions. Geographers draw upon theories from both the physical and social sciences. As physical scientists, they study the processes and resulting features of the earth's surface, such as vegetation, climate, soils, landforms, and resources. As social scientists, geographers explore such topics as the arrangement of societies on the earth's surface, land use patterns, urbanization, resource and energy usage, and environmental conservation. The Department of Geography offers a broad range of fields from which to select an emphasis. These include physical geography- focusing on scientific explanations of the earth's physical features and processes; natural resource and environmental geography-concerned with human impacts on the earth; urban and regional analysis-dealing with the form of cities and the dynamics of regional systems; methods of geographical analysis-providing a background in cartography, geographic information systems, remote sensing and spatial statistics. A comprehensive program is offered in general geography-encompassing topics from all of the emphases.

Log on Department of Geography Chair and Associate Professor: Dr. J. Harold Leaman Assistant Professor: Dr. Bango Hu Office: 304 St. Augustine Center, Tel. 519-4640 Geography, What Is It? The Geography program at Villanova offers students having diverse backgrounds and interests the opportunity to pursue studies with a focus on our physical and cultural environments within a spatial context. Because Geography provides a link between the physical and social sciences and the humanities, students may choose a major (1) within the Liberal Arts curriculum or (2) a concentration in Geography under the Bachelor of Science, General Program. In either area, students build a foundation in the basic systematic aspects of the field as well as develop breadth in allied fields. The program includes courses in general human and physical geography plus cartography and other techniques of analysis. Elective courses in related fields allow a student to tailor a program around his or her area of interest. Upper division seminars and independent studies are very important parts of the major program. They serve to integrate and develop the art and science of geographic thought. The Geography faculty assists the student in the development of his or her individual program. The department has a growing map collection plus seminar/reading areas, both available to students. Geography students also have access to the University's computer system.

23. Earth Sciences Department - CSU Dominguez Hills may be used to meet the general Studies or Cultural, physical, and biological earth systems. Emphasizes human geography and adaptation to physical habitats. http://earth.csudh.edu/geog.asp

The Geography Program, which is housed in the Earth Sciences Department, covers physical earth systems (land, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere) and human systems (economic, political and cultural), and the interactions among these in the terrestrial environment. As such, it is an integrative curriculum providing the opportunity to study basic relationships in real space. The Geography Program explores the techniques and the physical and human aspects of the field. Students develop analytic, systematic and synthetic capabilities to perform independent or directed research of particular geographic problems and situations. To accomplish this, students have available a wide variety of courses from geography and related fields. Features The Earth Sciences Department has a map library containing both conventional maps and remote sensing imagery. It is equipped with a photographic dark room and a variety of advanced instruments for data gathering and analysis. The faculty possesses special expertise in meteorology, climatology, micro-climates, geomorphic and seismic hazards, energy, transportation and land use, demography, economic, political and historical geography. The small size and broad expertise of the faculty provides an unusual opportunity for undergraduate students to work closely with their professors. The involvement of faculty members in applied situations, both in community and advisory capacities and in professional consultation, provides an excellent opportunity for advanced students to get "hands on" paraprofessional experience.

24. Department Of Geography Development of computerbased Geographical Information systems (GIB) to ingest general geography, human geography, Physical geography, or Environmental geography http://www.oir.uiuc.edu/assessment/plans/geography.html

Department of Geography Outcomes Assessment Plan Objectives: 1) To provide the departmental faculty with an opportunity to define, collectively, the nature of geography as an academic discipline. This exercise is the necessary preparatory one to item 2). 2) To provide the departmental faculty with an opportunity to identify, collectively, the objectives and expectations it has of those seeking undergraduate and graduate degrees from the department. These objectives will reflect the faculty's definition of geography outlined in 1), and its view of appropriate training expressed both in terms of coursework and expectations beyond the classroom. 3) To establish a mechanism by which students graduating from the department can express their opinion concerning the extent to which their training met the goals established by the department and their own expectations. 4) To establish a mechanism by which the student opinions solicited can be brought before the faculty systematically in order that the faculty may regularly assess them. The purpose of such assessments being to evaluate the extent to which department is meeting its own student training expectations, and to consider any programmatic adjustments that seem appropriate in the light of student input.

Ohio Wesleyan University Geography Courses 110. Cultural Geography (Fusch) The character and development of the world's major culture regions and cultural landscapes (e.g. the United States, Africa, etc.). Three themes are emphasized: 1) the development of culture regions and associated cultural landscapes such as agricultural and urban settlement; 2) humankind's impact on the natural environment; and 3) human population growth and change and its relationship to environmental impact. Students explore these themes through lecture and discussion copiously illustrated with maps, slides, and videotapes; short writing projects; the analysis of maps and other data; and the reading of specialized materials. F, S. 110. Cultural Geography (Schul) Understanding our world's diversity of cultures is essential in an increasingly globalized society. Human activities and expressions take on a variety of distinct forms throughout the world, challenging anyone wishing to compete internationally. Through a series of lectures and discussions, this course aims to distinguish and connect cultures both past and present. Attention is given to the distribution of basic elements of culture language, religion, food, and music are some examples and to more general economic and social themes. Timeless issues such as colonialism and nationalism exemplify our world's changing geography. The landscape around us exhibits the many ways humans have modified and adapted their natural surroundings to reflect and promote their cultures, and it provides us with tangible evidence of the relationship between culture and place.

The geographically-informed person knows and understands: How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools (e.g., charts and graphs), and technologies to acquire, process and report information from a spatial perspective. How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places, and environments on the Earth's surface. Human Systems People are central to geography in that human activities help shape Earth's surface, human settlements and structures are part of Earth's surface, and humans compete for control of Earth's surface. The geographically-informed person knows and understands: The characteristics, distribution, and complexity of Earth's cultural mosaics.

Cultural Anthropology Study Using the Fundamentals of Geography and GPS By: Scott Royer Harrison High School West Lafayette, IN 47906 Estimated Time: Two to Three Days-One in the field and one in the classroom Grade Levels(s): High School-Anthropology Course (Unit on Culture) Purpose: 1. Introduce students to the concept of GPS, how it works and use it in the field 2. Give students a chance to culturally examine our burial practices using modern technology 3. Develop a description of our culture based off of information derived from using GPS in addition to conventional observation Background: Religion and ritual are two aspects of cultural anthropology. How people care for their dead can tell a lot about their culture. One of our earliest sign of a belief in the supernatural is evident from burial sites of Neanderthals in Western Europe. In the U.S., one can see regional differences in how people are buried. Variance can be determined by beliefs, economic standing and time period when one was buried. A small cemetery provides an opportunity to analyze our past and near present local culture. Looking at the patterns of a graveyard as a whole will allow us to analyze its origins. A detailed study will give us insight into ourselves and how we remember and the importance of a deceased person.
