專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么？
Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers ask where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another, and how people interact with the environment. There are two main branches of geography: human geography and physical geography. Human geography is concerned with the spatial aspects of human existence - how people and their activity are distributed in space, how they use and perceive space, and how they create and sustain the places that make up the earth’s surface. Human geographers work in the fields of urban and regional planning, transportation, marketing, real estate, tourism, and international business. Physical geographers study patterns of climates, land forms, vegetation, soils, and water. They forecast the weather, manage land and water resources, and analyze and plan for forests, rangelands, and wetlands. Many human and physical geographers have skills in cartography and geographic information systems (GIS). Geographers also study the linkages between human activity and natural systems.
Occupational Outlook
Geography is an attractive major for students. Its theories and methods provide analytical techniques applicable to a wide range of questions asked over a broad spectrum of occupations. The potential for practicing geography in private enterprise and government has grown considerably in recent years, although few such positions are designated with the title of geographer. Career opportunities exist in areas where the spatial perspective and the facility of using maps, aerial photographs, and satellite images are especially useful. Included are such areas as city and regional planning, environmental management, market research, map design and publication, international business, and many state and national governmental agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the National Weather Service, the National Park Service, and the National Biological Survey.
