Please find attached the proposed Calendar changes for
the Department of Geography, and three proposals for new
courses.
The Calendar changes represent housekeeping to
accommodate recent additions to the curriculum (necessitated
in part by the introduction of a compulsory course, Geog.
301).
The title change for Geog.
346
has been requested by
the instructor as a more appropriate guide to the course
content. The change to Geog.
411
concerns an addition of
Math prerequisites for this quantitative modelling course.
Geog. 412 is being introduced because of growing student
demand and our desire to introduce more field oriented
courses to the Physical Program.
The course proposal for Geog.
448
reflects a long stand-
ing interest of Professor Eliot Hurst's in this topic.
The
course has been mounted on several previous occasions under
a special topics number, and this new course recognises this
continuing interest.
The course proposal for Geog.
453
completes a sequence
of two courses in Remote Sensing that have been phased in-
to the curriculum following the appointment of
Dr. Arthur Roberts to the faculty.

take at least two-400 Division courses.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS REGARDING GEOG 412
Library
The Library subscribes to, with a minor exception, the major
journals in the field of Quaternary research (Journal of Geology, Quaternary
Research, Arctic and Alpine Research, Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences,
Earth Surface Processes, Geografiska Annaler, Journal of Glaciology,
Bulletin of the Geological Society of America).
The holdings of monographs in the area is extensive. This is a reflec-
tion of the interest of Professors F.F. Cunningham, Hickin, Roberts and
Sagar in ordering books dealing with the Quaternary. It must also be
pointed out that colleagues in Archaeology and Biological Sciences have
active research interests in the Quaternary and they have influenced the
collection's growth.
The Library collection in the classification areas of QE and GB
(relating to the Pleistocene/Quaternary) is particularly good after 1965.

Rationale Geography 453
As aerial photography did in the past remote sensing now is becoming an
important technique and research area in geography. In conjunction with the
Natural Resource Management programme the Department of Geography has developed
a small but comprehensive remote sensing facility. A number of geography
students have expressed a strong interest in more advanced training in remote
sensing after completion of GEOG. 353 (Air Photo Interpretation).
This new course will provide a systematic and detailed introduction to
advanced remote sensing with practical experience in photogranunetric plotting,
colour dens itometry, colour and multispectral reconnaissance photography,
thermal imagery, multispectral scanners, microwave remote sensing and computer
assisted image interpretation. The course will be oriented towards applications
in geography and resource management.
Students from other departments (1. e. Biology, Archaeology, Computing
Science) have also expressed an interest in the course. Geography 453 will
complete the teaching stream for a new faculty appointment made in 1981 and
the anticipated enrolment will permit the Department of Geography to make
full use of the existing remote sensing equipment acquired over the past year.
The first half of the course covers remote sensing principles, instru-
mentation and analysis. The second half deals with remote sensing applica-
tions in resource management and will involve student presentations. A
seminar/laboratory format will be used with lectures and discussions on out-
lined topics. Readings will be assigned in advance of the topics and
applications will be oriented towards specific resource interests of the
students. Six practical laboratory assignments are included to familiarize
students wiLh iJnportai1: basic aspects of applied remote sensing.
