地理科学学士

地理专业设在人类学系。通过课程工作和实习机会，为专业提供地理思维的广泛背景。该专业强调了传统的地理重点，即在快速的全球变化时代理解人类与环境之间的动态相互作用。批判性地研究了空间，地方，人与建筑环境和自然环境之间存在的各种关系，以揭示和解释地理特征和过程的时空分布。地理课程还特别关注山区生态系统以及人类与山区环境之间的相互作用。在这些研究领域中，课程工作利用了教师的专业知识，其中一些专门针对科罗拉多州。地理系教师使用广泛的研究方法，包括地理信息系统（GIS），遥感，空间建模和空间统计，以解决北极，南极，科
The Geography major is housed in the Department of Anthropology and Geography. Through course work and internship opportunities, majors are provided with a broad background in geographic thinking. The major emphasizes interactions between humans and the environment in an era of rapid global change. Critical study of diverse relationships between space, place, humans, built and natural environments allows students to interpret geographic features, patterns and processes.<br><br>The Geography curriculum also concentrates specifically on mountain ecosystems and human-environment interactions. Course work takes advantage of faculty expertise in these areas of study, some of which are specific to the state of Colorado. Geography faculty use a wide range of research methods, including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, spatial modeling, spatial statistics, participatory methods, and ethnography to address applied research questions in Colorado, the Rocky Mountains, Patagonia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Melanesia, and Africa. Undergraduate majors can expect to gain knowledge of and/or participate in faculty research related to:<br><br>Climate change implications for society and ecosystems<br>Land-use and land-cover change<br>Critical human geography<br>Critical Health geographies<br>Biogeography<br>Livelihood systems<br>Conservation<br>Cultural geography<br>Urban geography<br>Economic geography<br>Political/electoral geography<br>Geography of virtual worlds<br>The Geography major is built on the core values the Department of Anthropology and Geography promotes. These values emphasize experiential training, primary research, public engagement, and education.
