SEER Lab encourages undergraduate student research and undergrads play a vital role in project success.
SEER Lab faculty and students are part of the larger Medical Geography program in the department. In SEER Lab, students engage in fundamental and applied geospatial science and spatial epidemiology or disease ecology projects. These skills are complementary to our ever growing list of undergraduate courses in medical geography, quantitative methods, GIS, remote sensing, sustainability and development, and regions.
