Extractions: The many different careers that Carleton Geography graduates are pursuing lead us to recognize our responsibility to provide an educational experience which provides both breadth and depth. The many and varied opportunities - some quite unexpected to us - that our graduates have found to use their talents also demonstrate that it is not possible to identify any single career path that would constitute the normal experience for geography graduates. Our Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral programs are designed in response to this reality. The Bachelors programs provide sound FOUNDATIONS in various aspects of geography. The B.Sc. (Physical Geography) provides this foundation in the area of the earth surface environments, with study of climate, climatic change, earth materials, geomorphological processes, biogeography and biophysical resources. The Geographic Information Processing B.A. and B.Sc. provide sound foundations in the development and applications of remote sensing and geomatics. The B.A. programs provide the opportunities to pursue interrelated human geography topics and to choose integrated programs of study that address physical geography and the human-natural environment interface.

Extractions: Human beings and nature - how do they interact and how does this interaction impact the environment? How does our society transform nature? The environment consists of a highly complex set of interactive systems of which humans are an important, perhaps even dominant, element. Decisions made by specific individuals, institutions, governments, industries, and economic and military interests have the ability to impact the environment, communities and other individuals. Issues associated with the distribution of costs and benefits of development and conservation are extremely important to the future of the environmental debate. Underlying concerns about values and ethical guidelines for good environmental practice are also critical for the development of informed opinion about environmental issues.

http://www.mun.ca/geog/

Extractions: General Information At Memorial, geographers learn to investigate environmental systems from human and physical perspectives. The integrated nature and spatial organization of our world are key themes in geography. Geographers have the unique capacity to effectively use and integrate multi-disciplinary information for understanding and explaining interactions in a spatial context. Geography has been taught at Memorial since 1946 and was raised to the status of full department in 1960. Graduate studies began in 1970 with the M.A. and M.Sc., and the Ph.D. was added in 1992. The Department entertains productive academic and research links with other departments such as anthropology, biology, computer sciences, earth sciences, economics, English, folklore, history, philosophy, physical oceanography, and sociology. Our mission statement is to foster a spirit of inquiry about the geography of the world around us through our teaching and research, and to provide our students with the analytical tools needed to explore the questions that arise and the skills with which to communicate their findings.

http://www.jsu.edu/depart/geography/geoghome.html

Extractions: GEOGRAPHY Geography serves as a bridge between the physical and social sciences. Empahsis is on the nature and distribution of environmental systems, human activities, relations between them, and their variation from place to place. Geography's uniqueness is not derived from the subject matter studied, but from the discipline's technical and methodological approach to the locational analysis of phenomena. A minor in physical geography emphasizes the processes and forces that effect the earth's surface and the interaction between the environment and the humans living within that environment. Physical geography includes examination of the areas of meteorology, climatology, biogeography, pedology, and geomorphology. A minor in cultural geography concentrates on examining the spatial patterns of humans on earth and their demographics, distribution, economics, politics, language, religion, ethnicity, behavior, settlement patterns, transportation systems, cultural patterns, and urbanization.

Extractions: HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES LIBRARY, Bibliographer - Karen Jensen History of the Collection Traditionally there has been a conscious division in geography between the physical and human aspects of the subject. This is reflected in the collection which emphasizes the human geography of North America, western Europe and the Third World, especially the Caribbean. Membership of the Shastri Institute has resulted in a representative collection of South Asian material. In addition there has been a fairly high level of acquisition of major monographic series and key geographical journals, including many European journals of narrow regional focus which are unique within Quebec. The development of collections pertaining to South American human geography has been superficial, excepting the Caribbean area and the Library's reference resources; neither are the collections strong for Asian material, excepting South Asia. African materials are spotty except for the economic geography of the area. The methodology and history of geography and historical geography is very good. Historians and classicists share an interest in the last.

http://geography.bu.edu/GEOG/undergrad/

Extractions: Physical Geography Minors The Department of Geography offers undergraduate concentrations in human geography, in physical geography, in environmental science, and in environmental analysis and policy. Students who concentrate in geography receive basic training in a core group of courses followed by a choice of course sequences focusing on the specific concentration. The core courses build a foundation in traditional branches of the discipline, quantitative techniques, and remote sensing/geographic information systems (GIS) skills. Special emphasis in the department lies in four subfields within the discipline: (1) energy-environmental systems and resource analysis; (2) geography of development; (3) remote sensing and geographic information system; and (4) biogeography and climatology. Graduating concentrators may find employment in urban and regional planning departments, firms consulting on environmental problems, industrial location and retail site planning, federal and state agencies including those using resource and environmental analysis, remote sensing and mapping, and policy analysis. In addition, students may pursue graduate studies in geography or other fields, such as land use, transportation planning, and environmental studies, as well as lay and environmental administration.
