Welcome to a wide-ranging Department with degrees offered under six titles: Geography, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Climatology, Land-Surface Processes, Geography Education and Water Science and Policy. Our degrees range from undergraduate minors through the PhD, and we also provide the University and region instruction in Geographic Information Science, including an innovative program leading to a graduate certification in GIS.

We take pride in quality of teaching as well as excellence in research. As a component of the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment, we emphasize hands-on field work, with research locations from the Arctic to Guatemala, as well as in the forests, streams, beaches, and human landscapes of the mid-Atlantic. Please look over our site and feel free to contact the Department for further information.

Chair

Several of our Geography faculty are active in the new (Fall 2011) interdisciplinary graduate program in Water Science and Policy, which offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees with either a water science or a water policy concentration.  We advise and instruct students in this interdisciplinary program, building on Geography's core strengths in physical sciences and social sciences and the interdisciplinary bridging of these sciences (e.g., human-environment interaction).  We welcome applications from M.S. and Ph.D. students.  Prospective students are encouraged to contact our faculty regarding admittance to this program.  Claessens, Leathers and Levia serve on the program committee; other affiliated faculty include DeLiberty, Geiger, Legates, and Schreuder.
