Justin Holman, CEO of TerraSeer and blogger at Geographical Perspectives, has a follow-up to his post of the top twenty geography doctoral programs. In the chart below he compares how schools' scores changed from 1995 to 2005. In short, the geography departments in the United States were not static but evolving in a fight or die struggle. Others, like that of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, were the seen of civil wars between human, physical, and GIS geographers which often resulted in schism.
