The Department of Geography at California State University, Long Beach, has
always had a tradition of encouraging and producing research. Research
activities have continued their upward trajectory, as new people join the
Department and fit themselves into its research culture. New collaborations
have developed with people in other departments as well, including Geological
Sciences, Anthropology, and Psychology, and these synergies are generating a
lot of scholarship. Similarly, there are collaborations going on with other
campuses and institutions, too. These have included projects with faculty
from Colgate University, UC Santa Barbara, University of Mary Washington,
UCLA, UC Riverside, University of Arizona, CSU Dominguez Hills, Pennsylvania
State University, CSU Chico, CSU Los Angeles, CSU Northridge, and CSU
Fullerton. Collaborative projects have also involved such agencies as JPL,
USRA, NCGIA, the San Dimas Experimental Forest, Crystal Cove State Park,
Charmlee Wilderness Park in Malibu, and Aerospace Corporation. Community
college faculty have participated in research projects at CSULB, too,
including faculty from Cerritos College, El Camino College, Long Beach City
College, Orange Coast College, and Saddleback College, together with faculty
from several high schools in the Long Beach Unified School District. People in
the Department do work across the full range of research activities:
Scholarly articles and book reviews in refereed publications, books, popular
publications, presentations at professional conferences, invited lectures,
contract research and mapping projects, and large-scale grant-funded research.
