The Department of Geospatial and Earth Sciences at Radford University unites the study
of our planet's physical systems with the cutting-edge technology used to map and
analyze them. By combining the hands-on fieldwork and historical inquiry of Geology
with the data-driven focus of Geospatial Science, we offer a comprehensive approach
to understanding Earth's people, places, and processes.
Our programs prepare students for dynamic careers in environmental management, resource
exploration, and government service through a curriculum rich in real-world experience—ranging
from field research in the Appalachian Mountains to advanced training in GIS, remote
sensing, and data analytics.
