Geotechnology is "one of the three most important emerging and evolving fields," noted by the Nature magazine in the article "Mapping Opportunities." According to this research report, demands for specialists in Geotechnology, which includes GIS, Remote Sensing, and GPS, will surge in the coming years. In a recent study sponsored by the US Academy of Science, spatial literacy was identified as a core competence requirement for US workers in the global economy. The Geography Department at CMU is well equipped to help our students meet these challenges successfully.
