Landscape Ecology and Environmental Geography Position Faculty Hiring Proposal 2015-16: Landscape Ecology and Environmental Geography Position Description: We seek a broadly trained faculty member in landscape ecology or environmental geography to teach in interdisciplinary, team-taught programs with sustainability and environmental studies themes. Although both landscape ecology and environmental geography are already highly interdisciplinary fields, we seek a faculty member who can cross greater interdivisional divides to teach with other faculty from diverse fields such as the visual and 3-dimensional arts, environmental history, computer science, and creative writing. Competitive applicants will be able to demonstrate previous experience teaching in this way, and success in team-teaching interdisciplinary courses. The field of landscape ecology integrates biotic, abiotic, and geomorphological patterns with humanistic and holistic perspectives across the natural and social sciences. We seek someone well-versed in the most important concepts in both landscape ecology and environmental (or integrated) geography: relationships among pattern, process and scale, and the spatial aspects of interactions between humans and the natural world. It is crucial that this applicant be able to communicate complicated terminology to entry-level college students. We are also interested in applicants with specific teaching experience in wildland fire, disturbance ecology, invasive species ecology, biogeography, landscape geomorphology, resource management, international issues in geography, and GIS-based cartography. Other desired traits include a history of teaching atmospheric science, outdoor or field-based classes, hands-on sustainability or restoration-themed classes, and climate change or energy topics. Experience with landscape architecture and the ability to teach with architects/designers in programs like Sustainable Design would also be a benefit. Experiential learning is a crucial component of our Environmental Studies curriculum. This faculty member would be expected to organize large field trips (50+ students) to pertinent locations, direct in-class student research projects, provide students with substantive scientific writing instruction and review, and merge undergraduate student research in geography with other natural and social sciences. Minimum Qualifications: • Ph.D. in Landscape Ecology, Geography, or related field; • Ability to teach physical geography, landscape ecology, and related programs; • Experience mentoring students in undergraduate research; • Ability to teach diverse quantitative approaches and GIS; • College-level teaching experience; Preferred Qualifications: • Experience team-teaching and teaching inter-divisionally; • Ability to teach in writing-intensive programs; Support the Current Curriculum 1. What is the specific hole that this position is designed to fill? Evidence of a hole in the curriculum may consist of, but not be limited to a field of study in which we have repeatedly hired visitors, a field of study needed to support a repeating program or series of repeating programs, and/or a field of study that we are currently only able to consistently teach at a beginning level but should in your opinion offer at either an intermediate or advanced level as well. In the curriculum we have consistently hired visitors in this position in Environmental Studies for over 17 years. There is consistent student demand for offerings that merge geography, geology, biology, and social sciences. The fields of Landscape Ecology and Environmental Geography are both highly interdisciplinary to begin with, and a successful applicant will strengthen current offerings in ES and CTL. In terms of geography, we are sorely lacking physical geography in our faculty. We have several cultural geographers at the college, but no one who consistently integrates the fields of biogeography, atmospheric and climate science with geomorphology. We have major gaps in environmental studies curriculum while student demand is high. This faculty member would help us consistently offer programs that merge the natural and social sciences. This faculty member would help us staff lower-division programs like Introduction to Environmental Studies as well as providing key quantitative training in GIS at all levels of the curriculum. We have consistently hired visitors in this area in Environmental Studies for over 17 years. 2. How would this position reinforce and support our current curriculum? Evidence for this might include supporting or expanding a current curricular pathway, expanding the options for students to take programs in the field of study represented by the position (i.e. expanding our capacity in a popular field of study) or expanding our capacity regarding a particular skill set (writing, quantitative methods, field research, etc.). Or it might address increased capacity for interdisciplinary and/or for expertise and interest in teaching/pedagogy. This position would fit seamlessly into the curriculum, and in particular, the faculty member could begin by teaching IES (Introduction to Environmental Studies) – a key program that has been inconsistently offered for the past 8 years. Other programs that have been consistently offered in the past that would fit well for this faculty member may include programs like: Native Studies, Disturbance Ecology, Watershed Ecology, Landforms and Lifeforms, Sustainable Design, Landscape Processes, Environmental History, and Conservation Biology. This faculty member would allow us to better support key quantitative skills such as: cartography, spatial analysis and GIS in the curriculum. 3. How might the pedagogical interests, skills and experience that someone in this position would bring augment that already represented by current Evergreen faculty across the curriculum? Geography is uniquely suited to consider broad-scale issues, not only of ecology, but of resource management (ecosystem management, energy use, policy, and adaptive management) in diverse locations across the globe. In addition, these approaches are being considered in other countries (especially developing countries) for the management of landscapes and sustainable development. The multicultural perspectives brought to campus by an environmental geographer/landscape ecologist would be crucial curricular areas for fruitful interdisciplinary discussions. 4. How might this position advance general education goals across the curriculum? This position is already very interdisciplinary in that landscape ecology and environmental geography merge the fields of geology, biology, geography, environmental history, and social sciences. Hiring someone from these disciplines will enhance the probability that they will be able to expand disciplinary boundaries beyond planning units in the college and teach with a variety of faculty members. Teaching in landscape ecology and environmental geography would easily provide students with opportunities to witness the Evergreen Five Foci in practice. This faculty member would be able to 1) mentor students in interdisciplinary study; 2) provide opportunities for collaborative learning); 3) provide global perspectives that would allow students to learn across significant differences; 4) connect students with internships in natural resources agencies locally to provide opportunities for personal engagement; and 5) through the development of GIS workshops, bring the study of geography from the theoretical to the practical and link theory with practice. New Initiative 1. What are the connections between this new initiative and the current curriculum? Are there clear interdisciplinary connections with the current curriculum? Is this position aimed at bridging two existing fields of study, or is it adding something totally new? There are clear interdisciplinary connections with the current curriculum. This candidate would teach well with cultural geographers, environmental historians, political ecologists, other natural scientists, writers and artists. Although Evergreen has a long history of having strong cultural geographers on our faculty, we have lacked a physical geographer and our faculty in the Earth Sciences has been under-developed for many years. Due to its inherent interdisciplinarity, this position would naturally merge existing fields of study, as well as add something totally new to our curriculum. 2. Is a single hire in this field sufficient to support the field in the curriculum? To help you answer this think about the following questions. Is it appropriate for this field of study to be offered at both a beginning and an intermediate or advanced level? If yes, is it realistic for the new hire to do both or are the prerequisites for upper-level work in this field, or the upper-level work itself, already in the current curriculum? A single hire in this position would significantly help to solidify the ES curriculum and provide another faculty member who can easily work across the natural and social sciences. This candidate could help staff our introductory program IES as well as teach high-demand upper division science programs in their areas of expertise. 3. How will the pedagogical interests, skills and experience that someone in this position would bring augment the interests, skills and experience already represented by current Evergreen faculty across the curriculum? A landscape ecologist/environmental geographer would work well with faculty that study global issues, trade issues, languages, demographics, public health, emergency preparedness,

  • Fifty Years of Historical Geography in Canada 5
    Fifty Years of Historical Geography in Canada 5 ‘Tracing One Warm Line Through a Land so Wide and Savage’. Fifty Years of Historical Geography in Canada Graeme Wynn Department of Geography University of British Columbia ABSTRACT: In this essay I enlist Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers to provide a title and a structure for inevitably personal reflections on the scholarly contributions of Canadian historical geographers and the changing fortunes of historical geography in their country since the 1960s. From the “Northwest Passage” (“one warm line…”) to “Make and Break Harbour” (where “the boats are so few”) this is a tale of considerable achievement, but one that, may lack a particularly happy or optimistic ending unless we attend to “The Field Behind the Plow” (and “Put another season’s promise in the ground”). Because this story, however told, bears the marks of influence from the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere, this essay speaks to developments beyond the territory of Canada and the geographical interests of those who live within its borders. Like several of Rogers’ songs, it might also be considered something of a parable. hen Robert Wilson invited me to give the fourth HGSG distinguished lecture he observed: “You may speak on whatever topic you like. It could be about some aspect Wof your current research or about the state of historical geography (or both).” In the end I decided to do both – and more. To structure the inevitable jumble spilling from this great portmanteau I make two moves. First I focus my comments on historical geography in Canada since the late 1960s.

Received: 12 September 2017; Accepted: 7 November 2017; Published: 17 November 2017 Abstract: One of the primary objectives of physical geography is to determine how natural phenomena produce specific territorial patterns. Therefore, physical geography offers substantial scientific input into territorial planning for sustainability. A key area where physical geography can contribute to land management is in the delimitation of landscape units. Such units are fundamental to formal socio-economic zoning and management in territorial planning. However, numerous methodologies—based on widely varying criteria—exist to delineate and map landscapes. We have selected five consolidated methodologies with current applications for mapping the landscape to analyse the different role of physical geography in each: (1) geomorphological landscape maps based on landforms; (2) geosystemic landscape maps; (3) Landscape Character Assessment; (4) landscape studies based on visual landscape units; (5) landscape image-pair test. We maintain that none of these methodologies are universally applicable, but that each contributes important insights into landscape analysis for land management within particular biogeophysical and social contexts.

The importance of ecosystem services was demonstrated in the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment which was a scientific appraisal of the condition and trends in the ecosystems of the world, including an appraisal of conservation actions. Many ecosystem services are considered to be degrading, such as pollination for agriculture, so it is important to assess the ecosystem services provided by current land use types and then move strategically to conserve and improve them.

Seeing the fireworks and the royal festivity in honour of the conqueror of the Northeast-Passage, Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, he took a solemn decision to return one day like Nordenskiöld as a hero explorer of unknown lands. 2 With the Vega expedition geography was at the front of a new period of scientific glory in Sweden. But it was not yet established at Swedish universities. It was taught within history, geology or politology. Sven Hedin was the first Swede to acquire a “Doktor”- degree in geography.
