Nature
Magazine Article, “Mapping Opportunities,”
On Growth of Geography and Employment
This Nature magazine article, which identifies geotechnologies as “one
of the three most important emerging and evolving fields,” should
be very useful for recruiting students to geography programs, and for demonstrating
convincingly to university administrators the growing demand for geographic
research and education within the university, and in society.
The trends identified in “Mapping Opportunities” will attract
many new students to geography programs, and presents a unique opportunity
to expose a large pool of talented new students to the full range of the
discipline as they enter geography departments and courses. Significantly,
the article stresses repeatedly that students need a deep understanding
of underlying geographical concepts to effectively work in the new geotechnologies
fields.
Reprints of the article for student recruitment and counseling purposes
are available from the AAG.
