The Department of Geography and Geology is located on the third floor of the Lee Drain Building and it maintains both a Geographic Information System (GIS) lab and a combination GIS and remote sensing lab. These labs contain state-of-the-art computers, software and scanners. The department has a van for fieldtrips, a Zodiac watercraft used for field research, a coring device capable of taking 20-foot core samples, high quality GPS receivers, and a large-scale flume to demonstrate sedimentation processes. In order to enhance learning, all the rooms are outfitted with video-projection systems, and the lecture rooms have sound systems and dedicated computers with Internet access that are used by the instructors for teaching purposes. The primary mission of the department is to provide students of the two complimentary programs a comprehensive understanding of the range and depth of these scientific disciplines which encompass, respectively, the human and physical domains of geography, and the physical and historical domains of geology. This understanding is intended to enable the students to achieve their full potential as skilled professionals and well-qualified technical employees in a diverse range of companies and governmental organizations, and to become effective teachers and community leaders.
