  • An Introduction

    My name is Juanita, and I am a PhD student at George Mason University (in the Geography Department). I'm fascinated by all things related to spaces, places, and people; in particular, I enjoy using GIS to describe the world and environment around us (both past and present). My background is in GIS and cartography. I have a MSc in Geographic Information Science from the University of Denver and a BSc in Oceanography from the University of Washington.

  • From the GMU Geography Dept:

    The Earth Systems and Geoinformation Sciences (ESGS) doctoral program is based upon the integration of the scientific disciplines in geosystems, geography, geosciences, and geoinformatics. Students receive broad-based training in systematic geosciences and geography, as well as technical courses in computation and Geoinformation sciences. The ESGS doctoral program represents a gateway to an academic career for some students; for others, it facilitates career advancement in the public sector or private industry. Graduates are equipped to participate in interdisciplinary research, which is the norm in today's research arena.
