I study the burgeoning theoretical field of Space and Spatiality to which Geography makes critical contributions. I am grateful for the department's active contribution to our academic community, which will be impoverished should we lose it.

With the accessibility of Geographic Information Systems to the individual user, it is critical that experts are trained to maintain the integrity of the science. UC Davis should not be left behind now, especially when GIS is bringing the importance of geography back into the limelight. In fact, rather than disbanding the Graduate Group, efforts should be made toward restoring a Dept!

I am stunned to hear that this highly respected program is in jeopardy. The broad, interdisciplinary nature of Geography is one of its most important strengths; Geographers understand interconnections between environmental and social problems, and are a critical force for helping to alleviate these problems. Now is the time to emphasize Geography, not to dismantle this important program.

Graduate students in Plant Geography have been an important source of Teaching Assistants for my undergraduate courses. Undergraduate teaching in the Plants Sciences would suffer from the elimination of the GGG.

As a graduate group, the burden on the campus is small and the intellectual value large.
Shutting it down would be very shortsighted.

]]> Sun, 1 Nov 2009 11:49:27 UTC 6409899 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6408364?utm_medium=rss Geography is the environmental and spatial science. It provides the basis for much of the research that occurs at UCD in other departments. A full geography department should be reinstated, rather than taking a shortsighted approach by eliminating a vital discipline. Our nation's lack of geographic expertise is partially the result of this type of action

Do not do as other universities have done in sacrificing an essential and unique program only to bring it back under another name. Geography is still important, and geographers are needed in a variety of influential positions throughout the world.
