Geospatial Science & Engineering (GSE) Ph.D. Program
|
|
|
The Geospatial Science and Engineering Ph.D. is a novel interdisciplinary program that integrates advanced coursework in the sciences and engineering with and cutting-edge research to advance the emerging field of Geographic Information Science (GISc). The focus of GISc is understanding geospatial data and transforming it into relevant information through acquisition, processing, characterization, analysis, and modeling.
Core faculty of the GSE doctoral program consists of the senior scientists at the Geographic Information Science Center of Excellence and members of the departments of Electrical Engineering, Geography, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Biology & Microbiology, Wildlife & Fisheries Sciences, and Physics. There are very strong ties to the USGS Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) located near Sioux Falls.
