Commercial Space Startups, Urban Planning for the Future, and more this Summer!
Hello GeoTerps!
We wanted to share with you all today four new and exciting summer-only courses! These courses are NOT offered during the Fall/Spring semesters. Email geog-advise@umd.edu to see how they might fit into your degree plan!
GEOG398X: Commercial Space Startups and Entrepreneurship
Dr. Hannah Kerner
Students will be introduced to the commercial "newspace" industry as it relates to startup companies working on products and services related to geospatial technologies. Lectures will include guest speakers from newspace companies and investors. In addition, students will learn about how to develop a startup idea, stages of investment, etc. culminating in their own space-related startup pitch.
GEOG298C: Urban Futures: Planning for a Changing Climate
Dr. Keith Yearwood
How are the cities of the world adapting to or planning to adapt to climate change? This course focuses on urban areas and the environment, specifically how anthropogenic factors have impacted the environment and how the environment has responded. The aim is to discover how associated and concomitant problems owing to the development and use of the planets resources are created and the various approaches to reduce the negative impacts of these problems through a variety of approaches.
GEOG130: Development Geography: Environmental & Social Justice (Scholarship in Practice Gen Ed!)
Prof. Ipsita Kumar
The geography of economic, social, and environmental well-being and inequality. The course will provide an integrated perspective on the causes, interconnections, and consequences across time and space of, among others, globalization, climate change, poverty, employment, migration and urban growth, agricultural productivity, rural development, policies and international trade. Portraits of selected countries and regions will be developed.
GEOG340: Geomorphology
Dr. Keith Yearwood
Survey of landform types and role of processes in their generation. Frequency of occurrence and implications for land utilization. Emphasis on coastal, fluvial, and glacial landforms in different environmental settings. Landform regions of Maryland.
Cartographer Jobs with NOAA available!
Cartographer Jobs with NOAA available! Great option for a graduating senior/recent grad!
Three Cartographer positions will open up on USA Jobs on Friday, April 16 in the Office of Coast Survey's Marine Chart Division at NOAA. We are recruiting these positions under both MAP and DE hiring authorities, please see the descriptions in the announcements to see which you qualify for.
In order to qualify for the cartographer job series, you must have a degree in cartography or a major that included or was supplemented by at least 30 semester hours in cartography and/or directly related science, and related mathematics. Such course work includes, but is not limited to, cartography, astronomy, geodesy, photogrammetry, physical and geological oceanography, computer science, land surveying, geophysics, physical geography, and remote sensing. The 30 semester hours must have included at least 6, but no more than 15, semester hours of college level, non-business mathematics or statistics (i.e., college level algebra, trigonometry, calculus, or scientific mathematics or statistics requiring equivalent college-level courses as prerequisites).
These are great jobs! Coast Survey is the nation’s nautical chart-maker. We are responsible for updating charts, surveying the seafloor, responding to maritime emergencies, and searching for underwater obstructions that pose a danger to navigation. Since what we do is very specialized, we will teach you what you need to know in training classes and on the job as long as you come in with a strong foundation in physical geography and geographic information systems (and/or any of the related coursework listed above) and are ready to learn.
The announcements (linked below) will open for 11 days from 4/16/2021 and close on 4/26/2021.
