地球系统和地理信息科学哲学博士

地球系统和地球信息科学（ESGS）博士课程是基于对地球系统，地理，地球科学和地球信息学的科学学科的整合。学生将接受有关系统地球科学和地理学的基础广泛的培训，以及有关计算和地球信息科学的技术课程。ESGS博士课程为某些学生提供了通往学术职业的门户，而对于另一些学生来说，则促进了公共部门或私营企业的职业发展。毕业生具备参加跨学科研究的能力，这是当今研究领域的常态。ESGS博士学位是基于地球系统科学学科（即地球科学和地理学）与更多以技术为导向的地理信息科学学科的整合而建立的（即遥感和GIS）。计划的毕业生将有资
The Earth Systems and Geoinformation Sciences (ESGS) doctoral program is based upon the integration of the scientific disciplines in geosystems, geography, geosciences, and geoinformatics. Students receive broad-based training in systematic geosciences and geography, as well as technical courses in computation and geoinformation sciences. The ESGS doctoral program represents a gateway to an academic career for some students, for others, it facilitates career advancement in the public sector or private industry. Graduates are equipped to participate in interdisciplinary research, which is the norm in today's research arena.The ESGS PhD degree is based on the integration of scientific disciplines in Geosystems (i.e., Geosciences and Geography) with the more technology-oriented scientific disciplines in Geoinformation Science (i.e., remote sensing and GIS). Program graduates will be qualified to pursue academic careers, or to serve as lead scientists in the industrial or government sectors, in the areas of geosciences, geoinformatics, geographic information science, and remote sensing.
