Description
How do we track the spread of contagious diseases? Can we use satellites to create a more accurate model of air pollution? How can geographic-based data from social media help us respond to natural disasters faster and more efficiently? If these are the types of questions that make you more curious about our planet-and if you enjoy using software and technology and thinking about where things happen-then UB’s geographic information science program is designed for you.
