We're planning the Davis Conference Now!

Planning is already well underway for the 2012 Conference on the campus of UC Davis.

"A Taste of Geography" will be the theme in 2012, so it will be an extra special conference for the many "foodies" within our ranks.

Our blog has some of the more immediate news regarding the upcoming conference in Davis, and we'll do our best to keep this website updated as well.

Fall is the time to start thinking about the papers, posters and maps for the Spring Conference. Faculty should be reminding students that projects completed in the fall semesters/quarters or winter sessions, are perfect for submission to a spring conference. Don't wait until spring to think about the conference.

Lodging information is available. A special rate is available at the Hyatt Place, the official confernce hotel, but we could only block 25 rooms at a time, so get yours soon before they are sold out of the rooms with a special price. Additional logdging options are available.

Some of the field trips plans are taking shape already, the catering is planned as is the Friday Night BBQ. Read more at the Davis Conference webpage.

We would like to also extend our deepest gratitude to Dolly Friedel, the longtime editor of our excellent journal The California Geographer. Dolly has asked for a well-earned break from her duties and we are pleased to announce that Kathryn Davis (San Jose State) and Benjamin Sleeter (US Geological Survey) have agreed to become co-editors of our journal. We're confident that they'll carry on the excellent legacy of the California Geographer.

Our newsletter, the CGS Bulletin has gone green!	Summer-Fall 2011 Newsletter
Partly in response to significant increases in publishing and delivery costs, and a number of complaints about the irony of an enviornmentally-aware organization using the US Postal service to deliver mail, we have decided to deliver it to you electronically. It will be sent out via an email attachment several times a year, and you can always find a copies here on our website. If you'd like to support the pulp and paper industries, you are still welcome to print a copy of the bulletin and carry it proudly with you to Starbucks!
