The study areas above illustrate the depth and breadth of academic and research opportunities available through the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering.

Please note:

(1) This list is far from complete. The interests and expertise of students and faculty within the Department are continually expanding and changing. (Browsing through faculty web pages can give you some indication of new projects and directions.)

(2) Interdisciplinary activities, often involving two or more of these study areas, are at the core of the department's academic and research programs.

(3) Each student is encouraged to look beyond these classifications and construct a program that best suits their interests and professional goals. Unique combinations of coursework and research experience make it possible for students to identify and address issues in new, imaginative ways. Academic advisors work with students to ensure that each program of study includes sufficient depth and rigor.
