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.

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.
