Geographic Information Science
From local events to multi-scale processes, the department is developing and applying advanced Geographical Information Systems (GIS) that will help us to develop the next generation of GIS technologies and progress our understanding of the world’s geography. Our strengths include advanced computer modeling, geographic visualization, geocomputing, and spatial statistics. Students in this track will learn technical GIS skills that are broadly applicable to both the human and physical systems.
