Geography Awareness Week 2024
November 18th — November 22nd
Geography Awareness Week 2024 is here! Join us as we raise awareness for this truly diverse and dynamic field.
Geographers … are navigators for tomorrow who are able to view the world not just from its physical and ecological space but also from humanity’s relationship to it.
—Charles Nainoa Thompson, 2024 AAG Honorary Geographer
Geographers study the Earth’s physical features, atmosphere, hydrosphere, peoples and cultures, and the complex interactions linking these things together. Here at ECU, our faculty and students are doing work encompassing all of these and more!
You may not have thought about it, but geography touches your life every single day. From ubiquitous geospatial technologies used to help us find our way to best practices that allow us to be good stewards of our natural and cultural resources, geography is an ever present part of our modern life.
