Research

As one of the top-ranked Geography departments in North America, our department is at the forefront of new research in human geography, earth system dynamics (ESD), and spatial and geographic information science (SGIS). Our goal is to create research that matters and that helps shape the ways in which we live in and interact with the natural and built environment. Current research clusters include geographical political economies, global environmental change, water science, the city, spatial health and spatial information theory.
