    Extractions: Geography had a good first year, and we are looking forward to more faculty understanding and participation to improve the transfer majors. Like any ecosystem, each organism has its own niche, and competition arises most strongly where the niches are very close. We hope to support each unique contribution and work toward greater "symbiosis." Major discussion topics included attitudes about California community college transfers by CSU and UC faculty, transfer preparation, evaluation of CAN descriptions, risks and advantages of field trips in teaching geography, and tightening equivalency requirements for instructors.

    http://www.msjc.edu/catalog/ay0203/programs/gis_geog.htm
    
    Extractions: GEOGRAPHY (GIS) (GEOG) The courses in this program introduce the fundamentals of physical geography, cultural geography, California geography, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The study of geography is multi-disciplinary, integrating both the natural/physical and social/behavioral sciences. It is an especially attractive major for liberal arts students. An Associate of Science (AS) degree is not available in Geography since it is considered to be a transfer major. Students working toward an AS degree should major in General Education and include those classes listed in the course section of this catalog or other classes required by the transfer institution. Students not interested in transferring may major in Social Science by completing any 18 units of Social Science classes. Field study permits students to apply geographic concepts in a variety of Southern California settings. There is a growing demand for geographic training and graduate geographers in both government and private sectors. The many and varied career opportunities dependent upon studies in Geography and/or GIS include:

California's a large place by European or East Coast standards, and spans a surprising variety of landscapes and cultures. Most foreigners probably think of palm trees, deserts, Hollywood, Disneyland, Bay Watch, and (maybe) Yosemite when they hear the word "California", but there's a bit more to it than that. California has both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous forty-eight states (Mt. Whitney, and Badwater in Death Valley, respectively almost within sight of each other), volcanoes and rainforests, deserts and redwoods, huge rivers and frozen glaciers, beaches and ski slopes, rolling high country plains and deep mountain lakes, Silicon Valley and East LA, Hollywood and Marin, Berkeley and Bakersfield, Arcata and Barstow. California's geography and geology have shaped California's cultures in interesting ways; it pays to keep these in mind when you're planning your trips or out observing the Californians. The first thing to remember here is that virtually all of California is earthquake country there's just no escaping this. This basic fact shapes everything from human neuroses to freeway design to the conspicuous lack of brick houses. We all know that the Big One will hit sometime, but most of us either try not to think too much about it or refuse to admit the possibility at all. As a tourist, you probably shouldn't get too obsessed about it, but don't be complacent the Big One is just as likely to strike while you're reading this as it is to hit in thirty years time. We just don't know. If you want to learn more about how to cope with a quake, the local phone books in most parts of California usually have a few pages devoted to what to do when one hits these are worth reading. The US Geological Survey (the USGS) also has a decent

    Extractions: Thematic Unit: California Postcards Overview The geographic regions of our home state of California will be the focus of this 4 th grade unit for 7 weeks. Students will examine patterns that influence population density in each region. Social studies, science and math curriculum will be integrated to produce a class wall map of California identifying the four distinctive regions of the state as a final product of the unit. Students will work in groups doing on-line and library research to compile data, facts, and anecdotes to produce a travel-guide magazine and post cards of their assigned region to advertise the appeal of the region they are assigned. Individual work will consist of in-class activities, class discussion contributions, journal reflections, and weekly homework assignments. This unit will strengthen students’ utilization of various methods to gather, analyze, publish and present factual data. Integration of these skills will give students real-world experience for future research papers, projects, and projects.

    http://www.philaprintshop.com/calis.html
    
    Extractions: Return to Mythical Geography home page Perhaps the most famous geographic myth is California shown as an island. The earliest maps of North America showed California as a peninsula, based on the reports of Francisco de Ulloa who explored the Bay of California in 1539. The famous maps by Gerard Mercator and Abraham Ortelius showed a correct depiction of California in the late sixteenth century, but that was to change early in the following century. In 1602, Sebastian Vizcaino sailed up the California coast, and Father Antonio de la Ascension wrote a journal of the voyage. Ascension claimed that California was separated from the American continent by the “mediterranean Sea of California.” It is not clear where Ascension got this notion, but this claim led to the mapping of California as an island beginning in 1622 with a small map on the title page of Antonio de Herrera’s Descripcion de las Indias Occidentales . The first folio maps to show this myth were by Abraham Goos’ in 1624 and by Henry Brigg’s in 1625. However, it wasn’t until the more important commercial Dutch publishers accepted the insularity of California that this notion achieved universal acceptance. The first of these influential insular renderings was by Jan Jansson, whose map of North America from 1636 graphically displayed this myth, and this was soon followed by all other major publishers such as Nicolas Sanson, Guillaume Blaeu, Pierre Duval, and Herman Moll.

     http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/cbhtml/cbgeog.html
     
     Extractions: Table of Contents California's history is so romantic and filled with legend that it is fitting that the region was named for a fictional island peopled by pagan Amazons, the setting of a 16th century Spanish book popular when that nation's explorers first came to this part of North America's Pacific Coast. Illustration I: Mirror Lakes, Yosemite Valley. Photograph by Carleton E. Watkins, 186_. Lot 4590. USZ62-46914. #47082. At first, "California" meant the peninsula on the west coast of modern Mexico now known as Baja California or Lower California, and the Spaniards believed that they had discovered an enormous island. Only as they ventured further inland did they find that "California" extended north to join the continent, and they named this extension "Alta California," the region that now forms the 31st state of the United States of America. Even in physical terms that state is a region of extremes. It stretches 825 miles from its northwest corner on the 42nd parallel on the Pacific Ocean to its southeast corner on the 32nd parallel at the junction of the Gila and Colorado Rivers. The winding shoreline contains 1,264 miles of beaches and harbors. And elevations run from 14,495 feet at the peak of Mount Whitney to 282 feet below sea level at Death Valley, with both of these landmarks little more than fifty miles apart in Inyo County. California's climates are as varied as her physical regions. There are heavy snows in the high mountain ranges, mild and temperate conditions along the coast, wide variations in temperature and humidity in the valleys, arid conditions and great temperature fluctuations in the desert. The geologic forces that shaped the state's terrain and dictated patterns of climate also created spots of extraordinary beauty like the geysers of Sonoma County and the grandeur of the Yosemite Valley.
