Facilities

Kosmos is the technology and teaching lab designed to support Geography's cartography courses, integrate mapping and web applications throughout the geography curriculum, complement existing Humboldt remote sensing and GIS labs, and link geography majors with students from other departments sharing an interest in mapping with a strong design component.

Software available for student use includes GIS packages (ArcMAP, QGIS), as well as design software (Adobe Creative Suite).

The Dendroecology Lab supports research in the areas of physical geography, vegetation and disturbance ecology (fire, insect outbreaks and other disturbances), dendroecology, landscape ecology and geospatial analysis. 

The facility includes tree-ring measuring systems, field and lab equipment, computers and instrumentation to support research with graduate and undergraduate students. 

The Institute for Spatial Analysis, Modeling, and Monitoring (ISAMM) provides equipment and the opportunity for students to engage in high impact geospatial research with equipment including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs/Drones).

This room is named after former Humboldt geographer Dr. John L. Harper, who served 27 distinguished years in the department starting in 1971. Designed for student study and meetings, it is outfitted with a conference table, atlas stand, whiteboard and projection screen, and a full complement of geography journals, books, course reserve readings and other resources.
