课程简介
该部的最终研究目标是增进对耦合地球系统(包括空间分布的人类过程)的综合理解。我们的研究解决了人类和自然系统耦合的基本和应用问题,例如人口,社会经济发展,消费和生产,贫困,气候影响和适应,脆弱性和缓解,以及政策选择和贸易-可持续发展。我们的科学家研究了人类的社会经济系统和气候系统,以及它们之间的联系。地理科学系提供的研究生课程包括哲学博士,地理空间信息科学专业研究硕士学位,以及五年制的联合理学学士学位和地理科学理学硕士学位。
The Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland College Park, ranked 3rd out of 49 Geography Departments in the 2010 NRC Rankings. This is an outstanding achievement and confirms that Maryland Geography is one of the leading departments in the nation. The assessment also showed that Maryland Geography ranked first in the number of citations, indicating the broad level of recognition for our research publications. While members of the Department are involved in many of the mainstream concerns of the discipline, they are also responding to the new challenges and opportunities of earth system science, human dimensions of global change, global warming, population expansion and third-world development, to name but a few issues. The Department's ultimate research goal is to advance an integrated understanding of the coupled Earth system including spatially distributed human processes. Our research addresses both fundamental and applied issues in coupled human and natural systems, such as population, socio-economic development, consumption and production, poverty, climate impacts and adaptation, vulnerability and mitigation, as well as the examination of policy options and trade-offs on sustainability. Our scientists investigate both the human socio-economic system and the climate system, and their linkages.
