Message to Cadets
Welcome to the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering!
Thank you for taking the time to look at our diverse offering of academic majors. We offer studies in geography, environmental engineering, environmental science, and geospatial information science - disciplines that have unquestionable relevance for your future, our Army, and our Nation. Our team of highly credentialed faculty and staff want to inspire, educate, and develop each of you to think globally and geospatially and then apply your understanding of human-environment interactions to develop culturally appropriate, sustainable solutions. By learning to think in this manner, you will be a valued member of any team you serve on in the future – especially when solving our most challenging problems, including access to clean water, energy security, climate change, natural disasters, food insecurity, restoring urban infrastructure, or understanding and responding to disease.
In the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering, we seek to better understand the world in which we live. Our academic majors include: • Environmental Engineering: the application of science and engineering principles to minimize adverse effects of human activities on the environment and to protect human health by providing clean air and water. • Environmental Science: a broad, integrative, science-based study of how humans affect the planet with the goal of creating a sustainable future for all. • Geospatial Information Science: is extensively used in the public, private, and defense sectors. Applications such as Google Earth, rideshare platforms, and driverless vehicles all rely on GIS to function properly. Use of GIS is critical for planning military operations, gathering intelligence, executing search and rescue efforts, and tracking natural hazards such as major storms. The GIS Major will develop your knowledge and skills in spatial data measurement, analysis, and acquisition in urban and natural environments. • Geography: studies social and environmental issues from a spatial perspective in a rapidly changing world. Three tracks within the major (human, physical, and human-environment) focus on topics such as regional culture patterns, demographic and social change, globalization, natural landscapes, resource issues, and environmental change.
Each major prepares you to serve your Nation as an Army officer and beyond. Despite the continual changes in our Army and throughout the world, several constants serve as guideposts for our profession: • Leaders understand human and physical operating environments--this is critical to successfully planning and conducting military operations; • Leaders think holistically--many of our challenges have global, far-reaching connections; • Leaders understand that improving the human condition is critical to establishing and preserving peace.
Our core course in physical geography, our environmental engineering sequence, each major, and the research you may choose to complete while pursuing your major give you the opportunity to address the tenants of these three professional guideposts. In choosing a major, you select a subject to investigate in depth. Your task in selecting a major is to find the subject that excites you and inspires a vision for your future. We have much to offer - let us tell you more!
Please look through this booklet, consider what interests you, and then visit with our faculty. We stand ready to assist you in understanding the rewarding opportunities that are available in the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering.

After Graduation
Each of our academic programs is focused on preparing you for success as a leader. We develop successful officers who critically evaluate and solve problems. Regardless of your major, our faculty provides an academically rigorous environment that develops your analytical problem-solving skills and will serve you well in the future. Many of the problems you will face in the Army will be examined in our classes, because the Army is our laboratory and we study real world examples. Our well-appointed labs and superb research opportunities will prepare you to creatively define, analyze, and solve ill-defined problem in your career. In addition to our regular academic program, our AIAD program exposes you to “people and planet” by providing you the opportunity to interact with numerous cultural, governmental, military and academic institutions before you graduate. Majoring in this department does not limit your branch opportunities – on the contrary, it expands your value in whatever branch you choose. Each branch needs leaders who understand the world, its people, and how they interact – our programs will give you those skills. All Army units must train and operate in varied operational environments and within the guidelines of established environmental regulations in a way that sustains limited training lands. Finally, the special skills learned as part of the geospatial sciences program are critical to all types of military planning and provide the critical spatial data that every Army deployment requires.
WHAT GEOGRAPHERS, GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION SCIENTISTS, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS DO FOR THE ARMY As a geographer, geospatial information scientist, environmental scientist, or environmental engineer, you will be an asset to any branch or functional area. Your keen understanding of culture, technology, and engineering will provide you valuable insights for any mission. As our Army continues to place increased emphasis on cultural awareness and environmental issues, you will be well positioned to succeed regardless of your branch. Here are just a few examples: WARFIGHTING – Geographers, geospatial information scientists, and environmental engineers are found in all branches. Terrain, weather, climate, and cultural landscapes are often the decisive geographic elements common to every operating environment and across the spectrum of Army missions. An understanding of physical geography enables the officer to judge the influence of climate, soils, vegetation, and terrain on military operations. A clear awareness of the fundamentals of cultural geography is a critical element in operational planning, regardless of the type of conflict. Officers trained in the geospatial information sciences permit the Army to retain an advantage in maintaining information superiority on the battlefield. Environmental engineers and scientists understand and address environmental issues associated with warfare, stability operations, and training to include the protection of our troops from disease and other environmental hazards. DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITY OPERATIONS -- As the Army’s mission profile increasingly expands to include stability operations, the need for well-trained geographers, environmental engineers and scientists, and geospatial analysts has become critical. Humanitarian assistance and disaster response has been provided recently in places such as Haiti, Kashmir, Sumatra, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Puerto Rico. These examples reflect the diverse array of culture systems and physical environments with which our Soldiers must contend. Officers trained in human - 6 - geography understand cultural, political, and economic situations and are a valuable asset to every humanitarian assistance mission. Those trained in physical and human environment geography can assess the natural landscape, environmental resources, and human- environment interaction, providing useful information during humanitarian assistance or disaster relief operations. The environmental engineer provides safe drinking water, improves sanitary conditions, and mitigates adverse impacts of military operations. Finally, all Army units rely on geospatial information to ensure accurate, successful planning and mission execution. The ability to process multiple layers of data linked to an actual location on the ground allows the mission planner to make the most informed decision, from road construction to well digging, and route planning to crime stopping.
SUPPORTING MILITARY TRAINING -- During peacetime operations, leaders are increasingly challenged to develop imaginative ways in which to provide tough, realistic training while sustaining and improving the condition of our training areas. In preparing for the unit’s wartime mission, a geographer’s understanding of contingency locations around the world is useful in developing realistic training conditions. Environmental scientists and engineers implement policies that support a broad range of environmental protection regulations from resource management to hazardous waste disposal. Leaders can employ modern geospatial information sciences and techniques to solve complex logistics and resource limitation problems by engaging with spatial datasets to identify, analyze, and prevent potential hurdles and hazards.

Center for Academic Excellence
Center for the Study of Civil-Military Operations
Civilian Director: Mr. John Melkon Military Director: LTC Jason Ridgeway
Distinguished Chair: LTG(R) Kenneth Hunzeker Mission: To develop all West Point leaders so that they are prepared to employ an understanding of Civil-Military Operations (CMO) within the framework of the broad spectrum of challenges they will face in military service.
In today’s complex operating environments, regardless of the mission, military leaders will find themselves working with a wide range of other actors solving complex problems. These actors include U.S. government agencies (Dept. of State, USAID), host nation government officials, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations like the UN, multinational coalition partners, as well as local leaders and populations. The Center for the Study of Civil-Military Operations (CSCMO) was founded in 2012 to help ensure that future leaders and graduates of the Academy are prepared to face these challenges and work collaboratively with these partners to develop appropriate solutions as members of a cohesive team. To achieve its mission, the Center provides and enables numerous opportunities for Cadets to learn and gain practical experience working with these partners to provide a foundational understanding of civil-military operations. The Center accomplishes these objectives by supporting classroom instruction through guest lectures, hosting workshops and symposia, facilitating scholarship and research, and providing service-learning opportunities (AIADs). The Center has enabled Cadets to experience the realm of civil military operations working with military commands, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations in Washington D.C., Fort Bragg, Hawaii, Alaska as well as internationally, with JFT-Bravo in Honduras, the NATO Civ-Mil Interaction Center of Excellence in the Hague Netherlands, the Marshall Center in Garmisch Germany, and other opportunities in Italy, Hungary and South Africa. During the academic year, the Center hosts its annual Student Workshop on Civil Military Operations, which is focused on Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response in the Asian Pacific for 2021, while the 2019 Workshop focused on Civil-Military cooperation in dense urban environments, with a focus on operations in Iraq and Syria. The Center also sponsors an annual African Symposium to examine Civ-Mil issues on the continent in conjunction with U.S. Army Africa. The Center also sponsors a DCA Club – the Cadet Community on Civil Military Operations (C3MO) – which participates with the ALLIES forum from Tufts and other civilian universities, has attended the Association of the US Army (AUSA) annual meeting in Washington, D.C., and facilitated numerous community service projects, including Habitat for Humanity as well as assisting local food banks. All of these efforts are intended to provide opportunities and introduce Cadets to the myriad of actors and agencies they can expect to work with once commissioned as leaders of character in the U.S. Army.

Center for Academic Excellence
Center for Languages, Cultures and Regional Studies
Center Director: COL John Gregory Chair, Linguistics: Dr. Jeff Watson Chair, Cross Cultural Competence: Dr. Richard Wolfel Chair, Regional Dynamics: Dr. Adam Kalkstein
Mission: Pursue applied and theoretical research to prepare Army leaders to meet 21st Century challenges abroad by enhancing their foreign language proficiency, intercultural competence, and regional expertise in support of the Academy's academic and military program goals and U.S. Army and Department of Defense requirements. In today’s operating environment, leaders will find themselves in a complex and constantly evolving linguistic, cultural and geographical environment. These human factors are at the core of the complex problems our modern leaders will face. Coming to terms with these complex problems of human culture will determine success for leaders operating in cross cultural environments.
The Center for Languages, Cultures and Regional Studies (CLCRS) was founded in 2007 to provide development, research and enrichment opportunities for all USMA personnel interesting in studying the complexity of language, regional expertise, and culture (LREC). To achieve its mission, CLCRS provides opportunities for faculty, staff and Cadets to develop their language, cross cultural competence and regional skills, in virtual, classroom and immersion environments. In the past several years, CLCRS has completed a variety of tasks vital to our mission. CLCRS hosted a series of guest lectures and scholars to support cadet and faculty research on LREC topics. CLCRS recruited a cadet team to collaborate with civilian and Army scholars to develop a simulated, virtual reality, cross cultural training scenario that is both linguistically and culturally authentic. Cadets traveled to China to conduct research and participated in the US-China Disaster Management Exchange, where they worked side by side with members of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). In addition, we sent cadets to Taiwan, India and Aberdeen Proving grounds to conduct research to support Army LREC and Dense Urban Analysis research. CLCRS is also developing a portfolio tool to assess and highlight LREC experiences for both cadets and soldiers. CLCRS provides these, and other, opportunities to cadets to help prepare them for the complexities they will face as leaders of character in the complex modern world.

ENGINEERING SEQUENCE -- The 3-Course Environmental Engineering Sequence is available to all Cadets. It focuses on current environmental issues and designing viable, sustainable solutions to them. It offers an opportunity to learn and apply the engineering design process in the natural world, within which social, political, cultural, and economic considerations are critical factors in decision-making. The environmental engineering sequence has three objectives: • Have Cadets attain a fundamental appreciation of the most salient environmental issues and their underlying causes and impacts on the natural environment. • Provide Cadets with the ability to formulate and communicate practical engineering solutions to important environmental problems. • Teach Cadets to develop and apply viable engineering solutions that conform to important economic, social, cultural, and political criteria. The first course in the sequence, EV300 (Environmental Science), provides Cadets with a broad understanding of what the term "environmental issues" encompasses and how influences, especially human, cause changes in the balance of Earth’s natural and biological cycles. The second course, EV350 (Environmental Engineering Technologies), builds on the EV300 experience through the application of science-based engineered solutions to common environmental issues. Finally, in EV450 (Environmental Engineering for Community Development) Cadets learn to balance engineered solutions with economic, social, political, and ecological considerations. By undertaking a semester long project to improve the quality of life in a developing world community, Cadets learn decision-making and policy development realities.

Academic Major Descriptions
GEOGRAPHY Geography is the study of people, places, and the environment and is an ideal major for Cadets interested in the outdoors, global cultures, and the natural world. More specifically, Geographers examine spatial patterns, geographic processes, and natural and human landscapes. Majoring in geography requires persistent curiosity and inquiry into human-land-environment interactions including an examination of how natural systems function, how physical landscapes evolve, how human populations adapt, and how humans shape the environment. Three tracks allow Cadets to explore geography through the major subfields of the discipline: Human Geography, Physical Geography, or Human-Environment Interaction. The Human Geography track provides a social science perspective that enables Cadets to explore cultural diversity, population trends, and political, economic, and social systems from a global and regional perspective. The Physical Geography track falls within the natural sciences and allows Cadets to develop a greater depth of knowledge on the physical processes that shape the Earth. The Human-Environment Geography track emphasizes the interaction between humans and their environment by delineating the regional challenges inherent with environmental change and natural hazards, identifying anthropogenic pressures on natural resources and the role these resources play in economic wellbeing, and understanding the environments role in regional instability. The major integrates the use of geographic skills such as computer cartography, remote sensing, and geographic information systems. Geography is the ideal discipline for an Army officer in a changing world. POC: LTC Chris Fuhriman, WH5304, x4035, [email protected]
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE Environmental science is a broad, integrative, science-based discipline that focuses on the interrelationships between people and the environment. Environmental scientists conduct investigations to analyze these interrelationships and to identify, abate, or eliminate human-caused pressures on the environment. The ultimate goal of these investigations is to create a sustainable balance between humans and the natural world that minimizes environmental degradation. This major develops expertise in the processes that sustain our environment by expanding upon the West Point core science education, adding studies in the natural sciences such as biology, ecology, aquatic science, geology, and meteorology, and in the integrative studies of environmental decision-making and environmental security. This broad academic background is excellent preparation for challenges faced by military leaders who must balance resources and human wellfare. The program seeks to (1) enhance your curiosity about natural processes and your ability to study such processes as a scientist, (2) deepen your knowledge of human influences on the environment, and (3) foster evaluation of our individual and collective responsibilities as environmental stewards. A pre-med track as well as an honors program are available. POC: COL Mindy Kimball, WH5415, 845-938-5421, [email protected]

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Environmental engineers face a range of issues from disasters like air pollution from the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center or drinking water contamination in Flint, MI. Environmental engineers use chemical, biological, and physical processes to engineer systems that address such issues. This discipline is evolving to face new challenges resulting from rapid growth in human population and technology. Environmental engineers work in multidisciplinary teams to develop methods to combat global climate change; find alternative sources of energy; and recover materials from discarded products. Our program provides you with an active learning experience designed to develop your knowledge of math, science, and engineering science and your ability to use this knowledge to be an active problem solver for complex environmental issues. This skill has been invaluable to our graduates in the Army as they work environmental projects around the world and improve the welfare of their Soldiers. The Environmental Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org.
POC: LTC Andrew Pfluger, WH5317, x2930, [email protected]
GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION SCIENCE Fundamental to understanding our environment and the geography of the earth is our ability to locate, measure, and quantify geographic phenomena. The Geospatial Information Science (GIS) Program integrates a multidisciplinary approach where students increase their geographical knowledge in the context of spatial science for military, environmental, and regional analysis. Cadets majoring in GIS will use cutting-edge systems, hardware, and software to analyze, build, and create data (ABC-D) to definitively model the Earth’s features and processes. Cadets develop expertise in subjects ranging from Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying to remote sensing analysis (drones, airborne, and satellite imagery). The GIS curriculum enhances a cadet’s math, science, and geography foundation with specialized courses in land surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geographic information systems. This major has applicability for military officer’s assigned to every branch, specifically those with missions that translate to both the civilian and military sectors. Both sectors are placing an ever-increasing reliance on GIS capabilities and expertise to support a myriad of social, economic, security, and engineering challenges. Cadets majoring in GIS receive a 3Y Space Activities Skill Identifier on their official military record. Cadets who branch Corps of Engineers will qualify for the W2 Geospatial Engineer Officer Skill Identifier. Cadets majoring in GIS may also qualify for the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation’s Geospatial Intelligence Certificate. Cadets have the opportunity to enroll in specialized AIADs with intelligence agencies and engineering research laboratories, and potentially earn the Army Space Badge. The GIS Program is accredited by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), from which GIS faculty and cadets have earned internationally recognized awards for their innovative projects and research. The GIS Program is designated as an international “Center of Academic Excellence in Geospatial Science” by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
