A number of teaching assistantships are available to qualified students.
These provide tuition
remission, payment of fees, and health insurance. For PhD students,
assistant salaries equal
$25,000 for ten months. We also offer summer research fellowships of $6,000
for qualified
students and up to $800 per year of department support to fund conference
attendance. Many students are also funded through faculty research grants,
ranging from the National Science Foundation, to the Environmental
Protection Agency, to the US Forest Service. Students are also provided
with dedicated office and lab space.
The Department of Geography and Environmental Systems is a
multi-disciplinary
department with an emphasis on examining the dynamic relationship between
social and natural processes. Our Department recognizes that
human-environment relationships encompass a wide range of political,
cultural, chemical, biological, economic, and atmospheric phenomena, and we
are committed to integrative research and graduate training that reflects
the current complexity of environmental and social issues today.
Our faculty members maintain active research and teaching agendas related
to all of these areas.
We engage in a broad range of research approaches that include field and
laboratory studies,
modeling, GIS and remote sensing, spatial statistics, historical research,
ethnography, interviews, and document analysis. Our research seeks to
contribute to cutting edge debates across the natural and social sciences,
as well as inform policy through our empirical findings. Our program of
graduate study is designed to train graduate students who are able to
accomplish these same goals.
