Conferences and Travel
Opening your mind to new people, places, and opportunities to excel! Geospatial Technologies
Take your studies ”out of this world” with the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), and other remote sensing tools used to view the Earth, its systems, and its inhabitants in a whole new light.
Aquatic Science
Learn what really is in the water around you and exactly how it gets there. Go into the field aboard a research vessel and take samples that become your own research project.
Social Science
 Look into how the economic growth in your region affects the water in your area. How much heat will that new superstore parking lot create and how will it affect the environment in your area?
Terrestrial Science
Go global while studying natural (severe weather events) and anthropogenic (poor air and water quality) impacts on the landscape and on watershed function. Use satellite data to map changes over time to the landscape. Discover the human impacts.
Mathematics
Dirty Word? Not when you see the power and beauty it has in problem solving, data analysis, and experimental design.
Take math from a being a hum-drum chore to being your consuming passion. |
