地理哲学博士（研究部）

地理学是对构成自然和人类主导环境的现象的时空变化的研究。地理的文化意义在于它对了解整体环境的贡献。地理学家的技能还可以在资源保护和计划开发中找到实际应用。在这些应用中，越来越多的地理学家被用作专业人员。例如，地貌学家和生物地理学家正在进行资源清单调查和环境评估，而人类地理学家则从事城市和区域规划人员的工作。哲学博士学位需要三年的全日制学习并完成书面论文。该论文由澳大利亚和国际科学学术界的成员进行审查。在研究过程中，博士生必须在其特定学科的知识上做出独特的贡献。理想情况下，这将导致在国际知名的同行评审期刊上
Geography is the study of spatial and temporal variations of the phenomena which make up natural and human-dominated environments. The cultural significance of geography lies in its contribution to an understanding of the total environment. The geographer's skills also find practical application in the conservation and planned development of resources. Increasing numbers of geographers are employed as professionals in these applications. For instance, geomorphologists and biogeographers are undertaking resource inventory surveys and environmental assessment, and human geographers are engaged as urban and regional planners. A Doctor of Philosophy Degree requires three years full-time study and completion of a written thesis. The thesis is reviewed by members of the Australian and international scientific academic community. In the course of their research, PhD students must make a distinct contribution to the knowledge within their specific discipline. Ideally, this will result in the publication of original research findings in peer-reviewed journals of international standing.
