Geography
Faculty Grants
The Graduate School of Geography is renowned for its contributions to geographic research. Undergraduates, graduates and faculty work both individually and collaboratively to expand the frontiers of geographic knowledge. Office, study, and research areas include three earth science and geographic information systems (GIS) laboratories, a soils lab, the Hadwen Herbarium and the Map and Aerial Photograph Library. The Graduate School of Geography and the Marsh Institute sponsor several venues that allow for the internal and external dissemination of geographic news and knowledge.
