U-UTAH/GEOG  

Definition

  • Geographers explore important challenges impacting society and the environment. Our students learn how to identify and solve problems facing communities, at scales ranging from local to global. The environment, people, and their connections studied in Geography are essential for understanding complex issues like social inequality, climate change, and environmental hazards. Examples of what Geographers do include analyzing environmental data to identify health impacts on marginalized communities, investigating ancient climate records to understand the effects of climate change, and using satellites and drones to map human impacts on the environment. The Department of Geography at the University of Utah specializes in: Climate Change & Landscape Dynamics, Geographic Information Science (GIS), Hazards, Resilience & Human Security, Remote Sensing of the Environment, Population, Development & Sustainability.
