Description
As an interdisciplinary field, geography spans the humanities,
physical sciences, and social sciences, often distinctly incorporating
spatial and temporal analysis in its understanding of Earth Systems.
Although the Geography Department offers B.A., B.G.S., as well as
B.S. degrees for undergraduates to reflect this breadth and diversity,
it only offers a M.A. degree for graduate students. However,
research and professional employment in Physical Geography and
GIScience typically require graduate level education with rigorous
scientific training.
Several recent changes to the Geography Department have also led
to the lack of an M.S. degree becoming an issue. First, the
Atmospheric Science program has moved to the Department of
Geography. This has doubled the number of undergraduate student
majors who are pursuing B.S. degrees. Many of these students have
expressed an interest in a graduate program in Physical Geography
or GIScience. Second, the funding of the NSF Center for the
Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets has led to faculty hires that emphasize
fields of study that require M.S. degrees and a need for students with
interests in such a degree. Third, the newly developed Bachelor of
Science in Interdisciplinary Computing degree at the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has a Geography
concentration and will motivate some undergraduate students in
computer science to pursue an M.S. degree in GIScience.
To ensure the required scientific background, to allow
undergraduate B.S. degree students a better graduate degree option,
and to make graduate students in those subfields more marketable
we propose this new M.S. degree option.

Demand/Need for
the Program
There is a nationwide interest in climate change, earth system
science, and GIScience. Graduate study in physical geography and
GIScience is quantitative in nature, and forms the core of these
fields of study. We are finding that these types of studies are
beginning to attract more students presently pursuing undergraduate
degrees in engineering, mathematics, computer science and other
earth sciences. The M.S. degree proposed here is a more natural
continuation after these B.S. degrees, as well as for students
presently pursuing the B.S. degree already offered in the Geography
department. A M.S. degree in geography would better reflect the
nature of students’ training and benefit them in markets where a
strong physical science background is required. In a recent survey,
12 (out of 13 responses) current Master graduate students and 3 (out
of 4 responses) undergraduate students have expressed the desire to
obtain a M.S. instead of a M.A. degree, which would better reflect
the nature of these students’ interests. We also had several cases that
students didn’t apply for our graduate program once they heard that
we don’t offer an M.S. degree.
Federal government agencies and laboratories and state government
are increasingly tending to hire people with graduate degrees with a
science focus. Both private research and the Bureau of Labor found
strong growth in the geospatial market. Kansas City is a major
environmental consulting hub in the nation – a M.S. degree would
greatly benefit those students who wish to enter this growing
environmental job market. In addition, students obtaining an M.S.
degree through our program will be well positioned to enter Ph.D.
programs in our department or other universities.
5.
Comparative
/Locational
Advantage
Several leading geography programs in the nation offer M.S.
degrees. The University of Wisconsin at Madison offers M.S.
programs in GIScience. Penn State offers a M.S. in GIS. SUNY
Buffalo also offers M.S. programs in GIS and Environmental and
Earth Systems sciences. Northwest Missouri State University is the
nearest school that offers an on-line M.S. degree in GIS. Several
other regional universities also offer M.S. degrees in GIS and
physical geography including Michigan State, Indiana University,
Northern Illinois University, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee,
and North Texas. In Kansas, no geography program offers M.S.
degrees. Our proposed M.S. degree will, therefore, provide a unique
program within the state to serve graduate students whose interests
are focused on physical and GIScience areas in geography.
6.
Curriculum
A minimum of thirty credit hours will be required for the M.S.
degree. Students must pass an oral examination and write a thesis. In
addition, students are required to take the two-day (non-credit) field
trip before classes begin in the fall semester and GEOG980
(Colloquium) for 1 credit hour during each of the first two semesters
in residence at KU.
7.
Faculty Profile
We have 15 core faculty members for the program. All faculty
members involved with the program have Ph.D. degrees and are also
involved with the undergraduate program either in geography or the
atmospheric science program. Curriculum vitae of all faculty
involved are in the Appendix A of the narrative document.
program_100807.doc
8.
Student Profile
Students could come from a variety of different backgrounds. As
the only program in the state to offer this degree we would expect
significant demand from students within the State of Kansas. We
anticipate that most of these students would have earned an
undergraduate degree in geography (at the University of Kansas or
other State institutions) and wish to earn a graduate degree in
geography specializing in Physical Geography or GIScience.
Students from related disciplines in earth sciences, engineering,
computer science and other physical sciences who meet the
necessary prerequisite courses form another likely source of
participants. People who have moved to Kansas and are employed
and now want to earn a graduate degree in geography are another
source of students. We also anticipate drawing students from other
states, especially states which do not have M.S. graduate programs
in geography. In addition, the program could attract international
students as the demand for graduate study in the U.S. is high in
geography.
9.
Academic Support
The main support services needed by this program are computer
technicians and library materials and services, which are already in
place in the Geography Department.
10. Facilities and
Equipment
The program will use the current departmental instructional
facilities. The geography department and faculty research labs have
sufficient facilities for student research. No new equipment will be
required.
11. Program Review,
Assessment,
Accreditation
This degree program would be reviewed under the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences departmental review and the department
of Geography’s self-study and external review that takes place every
7-8 years. The department was reviewed in 2009-2010 and was in
strong support of developing this program.
Student grades in graduate level courses, quality of student master’s
theses and oral presentations of their research, and publication of
student research in peer reviewed journals will be used to assess the
effectiveness of the program. The department evaluates students
annually for awards of fellowships from KU, Graduate Teaching
Assistants, and Graduate Research Assistants.
No professional organization accredits masters programs in
geography.
There are no recommendations published by a
professional society for minimum requirements for a M.S. program
in geography.
12. Costs, Financing
No new funding is required.

Program Proposal Narrative
a. Program Need and Student Characteristics
(1) Is the program central to the mission of the institution?
The Department of Geography wishes to institute a Master of Science degree in
Geography with specializations in physical geography and geographic information
science (GIScience). There are several reasons this program should be considered central
to the mission of the university. One of the main missions of the Geography Department
at KU is to provide instruction on environmental processes, human-environment
interactions and on methods for detecting and documenting such processes and
interactions. Although classified as a Social Science program in the CIP, the Geography
Department at the University of Kansas is a part of the Physical Sciences Division of the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and actively pursues physical science research
related to:
 Atmospheric processes and climate change (Atmospheric Science)
 Studies of earth surface processes and human impacts on hydrologic,
geomorphologic and ecological systems, as part of expanding human
development (Physical Geography)
 Development and application of computational tools for documenting, mapping
and analyzing the processes and the interactions. This includes the development
and use of geographic information systems, global positioning system, and
remote sensing satellites (GIScience)
As an interdisciplinary field, geography spans the humanities, physical sciences, and
social sciences, often distinctly incorporating spatial and temporal analysis in its
understanding of Earth Systems. Although the Geography Department offers B.A.,
B.G.S., as well as B.S. degrees for undergraduates to reflect this breadth and diversity, it
only offers a M.A. degree for graduate students. However, research and professional
employment in Physical Geography and GIScience careers typically require graduate
level education with rigorous scientific training. Therefore, to make graduate students in
those subfields more marketable, to ensure the required scientific background, and to
allow our undergraduate B.S. degree students a better graduate degree option we propose
this new M.S. degree option.
Several recent changes to the KU Geography Department have led to the lack of an M.S.
degree becoming an issue. First, the Atmospheric Science program has moved to the
Department of Geography. This has doubled the number of undergraduate student
majors who are pursuing B.S. degrees. Many of these students have expressed an interest
in a graduate program in Physical Geography or GIScience. Second, the funding of the
NSF Center for the Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets has led to faculty hires that emphasize
fields of study that require M.S. degrees and a need for students with interests in such a
degree. Third, the newly developed Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Computing
degree at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has a
Geography concentration and will motivate some undergraduate students in computer
science to pursue an M.S. degree in GIScience. In the last few years it has also become
apparent that the lack of an M.S. degree is resulting in our in inability to attract graduate
students with the required research and teaching expertise to support these research
activities and for teaching support in the physical geography and GIScience. In addition,
ongoing activities in such programs as the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program, the
Kansas Biological Survey, the Kansas Geological Survey and other GIS and remote
sensing activities on campus should greatly benefit from a more science oriented degree
in physical geography and GIScience.
(2) What is the student demand for the program?
The M.S. in Geography is of interest to students with a variety of different backgrounds
because geography integrates concepts from various disciplines. There is also a
nationwide interest in climate change, earth system science, and GIScience. Graduate
study in physical geography and GIScience is quantitative in nature, and forms the core
of many observational studies related to these fields of study. We are finding that these
types of studies are beginning to attract more students presently pursuing undergraduate
degrees in engineering, mathematics, computer science and other earth sciences. The
M.S. degree proposed here is a more natural continuation after these B.S. degrees, as well
as for students presently pursuing the B.S. degree already offered in the Geography
department. A M.S. degree in geography would better reflect the nature of students’
training and benefit them in markets where a strong physical science background is
required.
The current graduate program in Geography has 97 students. 42 of them are Master
students. In a recent survey, 12 (out of 13 responses) current Master graduate students
and 3 (out of 4 responses) undergraduate students have expressed the desire to obtain a
M.S. instead of a M.A. degree, which would better reflect the nature of these students’
interests. The need for the degree is not only driven by student demand. As more
graduate students seek to specialize in the study of the Earth System’s bio-physical
components, it is apparent that the advanced skills in quantitative and spatial analytical
techniques are at the core requirements for careers in regional and national data analysis
and in environmental consulting firms. As an example, NASA graduate fellowships
require enrollment in a M.S. program, and a M.A. program is not acceptable. We also had
several cases that students didn’t apply for our graduate program once they heard that we
don’t offer an M.S. degree. Based on our survey and these other pieces of evidence, we
estimate the number of enrolled students after 3 years will be more than 20.
(3) What is the demand for graduates in this program?
The traditional employer of geography graduates with a science focus is the federal, state,
and local governments. Federal government agencies and laboratories (for example, U.S.
Geological Survey, National Resource Conservation Service, Oak Ridge National
Laboratory and other DOE and DOD laboratories, and National Renewable Energy
Laboratory) and state government (Department of Natural Resources, Department of
Health and Environment, and Department of Transportation) are increasingly tending to
hire people with graduate degrees. Kansas City is a major environmental consulting hub
in the nation – a M.S. degree would greatly benefit those students who wish to enter this
growing environmental job market. Our students will continue to be at a disadvantage in
applying for these positions if they do not have an M.S. degree. In addition, students
obtaining an M.S. degree through our program will be well positioned to enter Ph.D.
programs in our department or other universities.
Overall employment of physical geography and GIScience is expected to grow in the
next few decades. According to private research firm Daratech, the GIS industry grew in
the double digits in 2010 and another 8% in 2011. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' 20102011 Handbook labeled GIS skilled workers as having "favorable job prospects" and the
US Department of Labor's High Growth Industry Profile--Geospatial Technology
report found that the geospatial market is "growing at an annual rate of almost 35 percent,
with the commercial subsection of the market expanding at the rate of 100 percent each
year."
(4) What are the locational and comparative advantages of this program?
Several leading geography programs in the nation offer M.S. degrees. The University of
Wisconsin at Madison offers M.S. programs in GIScience. Penn State offers a M.S. in
GIS. SUNY Buffalo also offers M.S. programs in GIS and Environmental and Earth
Systems sciences. Northwest Missouri State University is the nearest school that offers an
on-line M.S. degree in GIS. Several other regional universities also offer M.S. degrees in
GIS and physical geography including Michigan State, Indiana University, Northern
Illinois University, UW Milwaukee, and North Texas. In Kansas, no geography program
offers M.S. degrees. Our proposed M.S. degree will, therefore, provide a unique program
within the state to serve graduate students whose interests are focused on physical and
GIScience areas in geography.
(5) What are the characteristics of the students who will participate in this proposed
program?
Students for this proposed program could come from a variety of different backgrounds.
As the only program in the state to offer this degree we would expect significant demand
from students within the State of Kansas. We anticipate that most of these students
would have earned an undergraduate degree in geography (at the University of Kansas or
other State institutions) and wish to earn a graduate degree in geography specializing in
Physical Geography or GIScience. Students from related disciplines in earth sciences,
engineering, computer science and other physical sciences who meet the necessary
prerequisite courses form another likely source of participants. People who have moved
to Kansas and are employed and now want to earn a graduate degree in geography are
another source of students. We also anticipate drawing students from other states,
especially states which do not have M.S. graduate programs in geography. In addition,
the program could attract international students as the demand for graduate study in the
U.S. is high in geography.
Entering students are expected to have a B.S. degree in geography or in related physical
science, earth science, mathematics, or engineering disciplines. Applicants should have a
minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Applicants with a GPA of
less than 3.0 may be considered for admission on a probationary or provisional status.
Entering students will be expected to have studied quantitative methods. Graduate Record
Examination scores (verbal, quantitative and analytical) are required of all applicants.
We expect that most students in this program will be funded as graduate teaching
assistants or graduate research assistants for at least part of their program. Teaching
assistants will learn about presenting geography material to undergraduates. Research
assistants will work with faculty, other students and technicians on research projects.
The program will be flexible and thus amenable to part time study and we expect that
some people who are interested in the degree program will want to continue to work full
time, while looking to advance/supplement their careers with this degree.
b. Curriculum of the Proposed Program
(1) What is the curriculum of the proposed program?
We propose to develop an M.S. degree in Geography. The program would require a 30
credit hour minimum. Students must pass an oral examination and write a thesis. In
addition, students are required to take the two-day (non-credit) field trip before classes
begin in the fall semester and GEOG 980 (Colloquium) for 1 credit hour during each of
the first two semesters in residence at KU.
The program will aim to expand the student’s knowledge of how earth systems work and
how humans interact with its components. The student will become familiar with how to
analyze geographic data both statistically and through models. The student will gain an
in depth ability to learn a set of specific skills and use these skills in his/her thesis work.
These skills may consist of statistical analysis, numerical modeling, working with
laboratory or field instrumentation, or other skills useful for collecting or analyzing
geographic data. The students will learn to apply this knowledge and these skills to new
problems in geography. The program will be flexible by requiring only a few specific
courses and having a wide variety of acceptable courses for meeting degree requirements.
Thus, it will be able to accommodate students with a variety of interests.
When a student is admitted to the department by the Graduate Affairs Committee, the
student should have already declared an advisor and the advisor should have agreed to
work with the student. Early in the first semester (preferably in the first week of classes),
the student should meet with this advisor to outline a tentative program of coursework for
the degree. Such programs should be solidified by the time of enrollment for the second
semester and submitted to the student’s graduate committee for approval. The student and
advisor are then expected to continue to discuss and update programs each semester,
bearing in mind that any substantive changes must be approved by the student’s graduate
committee. Program sheets are available in the department office and must be filed before
the oral examination can be scheduled. The student will have a thesis committee
consisting of at least 3 faculty members. At least two of these faculty members must
have regular appointments in Geography. All candidates must pass an oral examination
and must submit a thesis. The thesis will also be defended in a public presentation.

c. Program Faculty
(1) What is the quality of the faculty?
The following are the core faculty for the program. All faculty involved with the
program have Ph.D. degrees. Curriculum vitae of all faculty are in Appendix A.
David Braaten (Professor)
Nathaniel Brunsell (Associate Professor)
Jerry Dobson (Professor)
Stephen Egbert (Associate Professor)
Johannes Feddema (Professor)
Daniel Hirmas (Assistant Professor)
William Johnson (Professor)
Xingong Li (Associate Professor)
George McCleary (Associate Professor)
David Mechem (Assistant Professor)
Margaret Pearce (Assistant Professor)
David Rahn (Assistant Professor)
Terry Slocum (Associate Professor)
Donna Tucker (Associate Professor)
Cornelis van der Veen (Professor)
All the faculty listed above are also involved with the undergraduate program either in
geography or the atmospheric science program. Although new faculty would be
desirable, we are not proposing any at this time.
(2) How many graduate assistants will serve the program?
We presently support 21.5 graduate teaching assistant positions in the Geography
program. No new GTA positions will be created, but students in this program will have
equal access to GTA positions with those in the M.A. degree. These teaching assistants
will teach laboratory sections in various geography courses.
We also anticipate some students will be supported by research assistantships rather than
teaching assistantships. The number of these students will vary depending on support
available from the research programs of the individual faculty members but we anticipate
there would be 6-8 of these students at any one time.
d. Academic Support
(1) What are the academic support services for this program?
The main support services needed by this program are computer technicians and library
materials and services, which are already in place in the Geography Department. The
computers themselves will be described in the facilities section of this proposal.
(2) What new library materials and other forms of academic support are required beyond
normal additions?
The library already has subscriptions to online or paper copies of the key journals in
geography. The library also has a large variety of books on geography subjects. In
addition this program will benefit from and in turn will benefit the GIS services presently
offered by the Library system. Thus, we feel that present library resources and normal
additions will be sufficient to support this program.
(3) What new supporting staff will be required beyond normal additions?
The department of geography has two full time office staff and one part time office staff.
These staff members already support the M.A. degree in geography and we feel they are
able to handle the additional workload the M.S. degree in Geography will require. In
addition the Department has access to 2 technical support staff through the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences; these positions will be sufficient to support the proposed
program
e. Facilities and Equipment
(1) What are the anticipated facilities requirements?
The M.S. program in Geography will use the current departmental instructional facilities.
(2) What new equipment will be required beyond normal additions?
The geography department and faculty research labs have sufficient facilities for student
research. No new equipment will be required.
f. Program Review
(1) What is the program review process or what evaluation methods will be used to
review the program?
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences conducts departmental reviews. The
department of Geography was reviewed in 2009-2010 and every 7-8 years thereafter.
The review would include both self study and external review. This degree program
would be reviewed under this process. Curricula for department courses are reviewed
each year during the faculty evaluation process to ensure that they are appropriate for the
courses being taught. The department meets annually to decide which students to award
Graduate Teaching Assistants to for the following year. At this meeting overall graduate
funding is reviewed as the department examines which students have fellowships from
KU, which are supported as Graduate Research Assistants, and which have other types of
funding. The 2009-2010 review was in strong support of developing this program.
(2) What student learning outcomes measures will be used to assess the program’s
effectiveness?
A number of measures of student learning will be used. Student grades in graduate level
courses reflect student learning. Quality of student master’s theses and oral presentations
of the research show how the student has applied what was learned. Publication of
student research in peer reviewed journals will confirm research quality. Quality of
student presentations at professional conferences will make the program’s effectiveness
clear. We will also examine how long it takes students to finish their degrees. Students
would normally finish their degrees in two years of full time study but we do expect some
part time students in this program to take longer.
(3) What are the institution’s plans regarding program accreditation?
No professional organization accredits masters programs in geography. There are no
recommendations published by a professional society for minimum requirements for a
M.S. program in geography.

SUMMARY OF GRANTS AND CONTRACTS 1975- 1997
For 26 years, I worked at a national laboratory where all research is dependent on grants and
contracts. As a group leader and project leader I served as P.I. or Co-P.I. on federally funded
projects covering myself and two to ten colleagues per year. My responsibility was to design and
promote new research initiatives and to lead ongoing projects. Throughout that time, I was one of
two principal staff members responsible for financial support of groups ranging from 10 to 40
people. At current FTE rates, my career total prior to 1997 thus amounts to a conservative
estimate of more than $20,000,000 in projects funded by:
• Department of Energy
• Nuclear Regulatory Commission
• Department of Defense
• Department of State
• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
• National Science Foundation
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Department of Interior
• Water Resources Council
• Other federal agencies.

RESEARCH
Research Interests
Most of my earliest research at the Ph.D. level focused on the development and testing of interactive
cartographic displays, including both formal and informal analysis of user needs and responses.
Subsequently, my focus turned to remote sensing, where I had received extensive training and
experience through military service. The broad emphasis of my research currently lies in the
application of time-series satellite imagery for land cover mapping, analysis, and modeling. More
recently, I have returned to my earlier interest in visualization in cartographic displays. Ongoing and
projected research under these and related topics include:
•
•
•
Development of methods for exploiting information in time-series multi-year composite
vegetation index data sets from NASA’s MODIS sensor to characterize and map vegetation
dynamics on the Great Plains. Initial investigations using the new generation of decision-tree
classifiers have produced very promising results in monitoring crop health and progress.
Evaluation of geotechnologies to assist in creating spatial databases of minefields. Through
funding from the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining, we are
investigating the use of a portable tool (handheld PC, GPS, and laser rangefinder binoculars)
to map minefields under a variety of environmental and cultural conditions.
Evaluation of low-cost stereo 3D technology for visualizing geographical datasets, including
those created from satellite imagery and digital elevation models. This is a topic that
combines my current research interests with the focus of my dissertation research – the
visualization of complex spatial data.
In addition to my tradition research concentration in remote sensing, I have recently begun research
into the geographic nature of genocide, mass murder, and related crimes against humanity, which has
been a long-time personal interest. The motivation for this research is that the geographic component
is often understated or even missing from genocide studies, and I believe that geography has much to
offer in this regard.
Funding for my research in the geospatial sciences (over $6,000,000 to date) has come primarily from
multi-investigator grants and contracts received from the national and state level. National funding
agencies include NASA, NSF, and USGS, while state agencies include the Kansas Department of
Wildlife and Parks, the Kansas Department of Agriculture, and the Kansas GIS Policy Board.
