About Us
The Department of Geography at UGA has been a leading center of scholarship about earth's landscapes and human relationships to the envoronment. Our inquiries encompass a wide range of topics, from the economies of cities and cultures of built landscapes, to tropical climates and the flow of polar ice sheets. We combine rigorous empirical work with deeply conceptual theoretical analyses, always recognizing the importance of both spatial processes and accumulated histories. We use geographic analyses to illuminate the abiding problems of the modern world.

Geography Made a Difference
Faculty and students in Geography are working to gain a better understanding of our world through direct experience. These stories from the field explore the research conducted by UGA geographers, sometimes at distant points across the globe, on other occasions in our own backyard.
Computer Labs
Computer instructional facilities are available in Geog-Geol Room B27 (Geosciences Learning Center), Room 150 (spatial and economic analysis), Room 153 (spatial analysis and atmospheric science), Room 215 (atmospheric science), Room 311 (GIScience), and Room 321 (GIScience and computer cartography).
Facilities
UGA's Department of Geography is home to a number of state-of-the-art labs. The Center for Geospatial Research is an internationally recognized research center using remote sensing, photogrammetry, GIS and related technologies. Geography hosts multiple physical geography laboratory facilities in geomorphology, climatology, luminesence dating, tree ring analysis, and environmental change.
