Geography is a growing field that offers a wide range of career options. Geographers study both natural science and social science. Natural science topics include spatial patterns of rocks, soils, animals, plants, climate and weather. Social science topics include spatial patterns of culture, policy, conflict, demographics, economics, resources and waste, with an emphasis on investigating the intersection of human activity and environmental processes. We use a variety of geospatial technologies to map the world in different ways from the global to the local.

Geographers use data (environmental and social statistics, interviews, textual and landscape analysis, and archival documents) to describe the natural and social patterns we see and then we apply our knowledge of human and environmental processes to analyze why these patterns exist. We ask “Where?” and then we ask “Why?” We work at the intersection of multiple disciplines: geology, ecology, climate science, urban planning, economics, sociology, computer science and the humanities, using this knowledge to examine spatial processes. We use GIS software and remote sensing for spatial analysis and cartography. Geography offers a unique way of seeing and understanding the world, combined with the ability to communicate this understanding to others.
