Welcome to Geography

 

Geography majors receive a liberal arts education that is an appropriate base for further specialized training in academic disciplines which address environmental and international issues or in related professional fields such as planning and public policy, law, and environmental management. Students are also offered courses in which they learn specific technical skills in spatial data analysis, cartographic design, remote sensing, and geographic information systems that are suitable for direct entry employment positions. The Geography Graduate Program encourages work on a wide range of research specialties and fosters strong interdisciplinary ties. The program offers the following degree options: Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS), and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

Harbinger of Global Warming

John Mioduszewski's goal is to try and understand why snow has been melting sooner across much of the Northern Hemisphere. This has been most evident in regions of high latitude and altitude where continuous snowcover is an annual occurrence, and melt occurs in a relatively well-defined melt season. The significance of this melt process and its timing lies not only in using it as a harbinger of warming in one of Earth's most climatologically sensitive regions, but the subsequent strong feedbacks within the climate-cryosphere system that are altered as a result of earlier melt.   more ➤
