Environmental and Geographic Studies
Environmental Science and Geographic Information Systems are two fields that are becoming increasingly important in today’s society. These projects and presentations focus on different aspects of biology, environmental science, and geographic studies such as mapping, zoning, and spatial modeling. Specific scholarship and research address an assortment of issues including historical matters, animal and marine conservation and protection, global warming and climate change, water quality, rising sea levels, and sustainable land redevelopment.
