地理科学硕士

环境与社会学系是该国自然资源学院中首个此类学科，并已成为其他高等教育机构中类似学科发展的典范。地理硕士课程的重点是探索地理视角如何帮助我们理解人与环境的关系。广义上讲，地理学家关注的是人与地方之间的关系以及地方为何重要，地球上人类活动的空间模式以及这些模式背后的过程以及全球化世界中各个地方之间的联系。广泛的问题，包括自然资源管理和保护的社会方面，土地使用和环境变化，国际和农村发展，地图制作，规划，自然灾害应对等。地理学位将对地理/信息系统的技术培训，遥感以及定量和定性分析与人与环境关系的研究相结合。
the Department of Environment and Society is the first of its kind in a college of natural resources in the country and has served as a model for the development of similar departments at other institutions of higher learning. The master's program in geography is centered on exploring how the geographic perspective informs our understanding of human-environment relationships. Broadly, geographers are concerned with the relationship between people and place and why place matters, the spatial patterns of human activity across the earth and the processes underlying those patterns, and the linkages among places in a globalizing world.Geography is a diverse field, covering a wide range of issues, including the social aspects of natural resource management and conservation, land-use and environmental change, international and rural development, map making, planning, natural disaster response, and more. The geography degree combines technical training in geographic/information systems, remote sensing, and quantitative and qualitative analysis with the study of the human-environment relationship.
