The student research experience can include several steps: writing a proposal, data collection, conducting field work and sampling, completing laboratory analyses, writing up methods and results, and giving an oral presentation.

Independent and Collaborative Research: Students are encouraged to undertake independent research projects in collaboration with faculty members, either as semester-long directed studies or as summer projects. Students may also register for credits to conduct research as part of directed work under the supervision of a mentor.

GIS is a growing field and many career opportunities are opening for graduates with a background in Geospatial Sciences.
