地理（荣誉）文学士学位

我们的地理课程非常适合对地理信息系统（GIS），遥感，气候变化，环境可持续性，研究以及城市和区域发展感兴趣的学生。我们的计划分为四个主要主题领域：自然地理，人文地理，人文环境地理学和地理学。学生最多可以学习以下两个领域，以进一步提高学位质量：自然地理学探索不断变化的地球表面以及引起这些变化的物理过程。学生将能够识别景观形式和结构，土方工程和岩石的形成，风化和物质运动，沿海/海岸线环境等关键过程的能力，此外，人类地理学还研究人们与地球的关系以及如何人散布在地球上。它研究了我们如何彼此互动，为什么我们以这种方
Our Geography program is ideal for students interested in geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, climate change, environmental sustainability, research, and urban and regional development. Our program is divided into four major thematic areas: physical geography, human geography, human-environmental geography, and geomatics. Students can study up to two of these areas to further enhance the quality of their degree: Physical geography explores the ever-changing surface of the earth and the physical processes that cause these changes. Students will develop the ability to identify critical processes in landscape form and structure, earth-building and the formation of rocks, weathering and mass movement, coastal/shoreline environments, and much more, Human geography examines the relationship people have with the earth and how people are distributed on the earth. It examines how we interact with each other, why we interact this way, and how we can improve our lives with this understanding knowledge. Students will explore how and why the first known cities formed, how culture is spread and stagnated by barriers, and how different regions in the world function culturally, socially, environmentally, and economically, Human-environmental geography focus on the impact humans have on our environment through activities like urban sprawl and globalization, and how we can work to develop more sustainable practices. Students will develop an understanding of global and environmental change, impact assessments, and natural resource management. Students will study the Great Lakes and their cultural, environmental, and economic importance to humans and Geomatics is the discipline of gathering, storing, processing, and delivering geographic information, or spatially referenced information. In our program, students will be introduced to the world of cartography, GIS, remote sensing of the environment, and air photo interpretation.
