Research
Faculty teaching in the Geography program are pursuing a wide variety of research interests, and working on many different projects. We are using remote sensing technologies to examine forests, and working with GIS in innovative ways. Other faculty are exploring processes of political geography and public policy, examining bird and animal migration patterns, and developing strategies to address poverty and inequality in Haiti. Please see individual faculty pages for more information.
Our faculty have a diverse range of interests, and would be happy to work with you on projects that fall under their areas of specialization.
