地理空间科学与工程哲学博士-地理

地理空间科学与工程（GSE）博士学位。是一项跨学科计划，将高级课程与前沿研究相结合，以推进地理空间科学领域。重点是通过获取，处理，表征，分析和建模将地理空间数据转换为相关信息，以便了解从地形到地球的各个尺度上的地理图案，过程和关系。为了实现这些目标，地理空间科学将制图学，大地测量学，地理信息系统和遥感的地理学科与数学，统计，自然科学，社会科学和工程学要素相结合。由此产生的一系列地理空间概念，方法，技术和数据集可用于解决有关生物圈功能及其对自然资源可持续性，农业生产力，生物多样性，环境质量和人类福祉的影响的
The Geospatial Science and Engineering (GSE) Ph.D. is an interdisciplinary program that combines advanced coursework with cutting-edge research to advance the field of geospatial sciences. The focus is on transforming geospatial data into relevant information through acquisition, processing, characterization, analysis, and modeling in order to understand geographic patterns, processes, and relationships at scales ranging from landscapes to the globe. To achieve these aims, the geospatial sciences integrate the geographic disciplines of cartography, geodesy, geographic information systems, and remote sensing with elements of mathematics, statistics, the natural sciences, the social sciences, and engineering. The resulting array of geospatial concepts, methods, technologies, and datasets are used to address a wide range of pertinent questions about the functioning of the biosphere and its implications for sustainability of natural resources, agricultural productivity, biodiversity, environmental quality, and human welfare in a rapidly-changing world.
