Excellent facilities exist to support the Geography Department.
These facilities include:
Bird Library (main university library with over 2 million
volumes including extensive holdings for geographic research)
Cartographic Laboratory (Bowne Hall)
The Cartographic Laboratory provides facilities for map
preparation, reproduction, etc. The Cartographer’s principal
duties are to prepare maps and graphics for faculty teaching and
research and other needs. The Cartographer is also available to
offer advice and technical assistance to graduate students.
Joe Stoll is the staff Cartographer.

Geographic Information and Analysis (GIA) Laboratory
(Eggers Hall)The Geographic Information and Analysis (GIA) laboratory supports
research and teaching in the various fields of spatial
information and analysis (e.g., geographic information systems,
computer cartography, and spatial statistics). The recently
updated 13-seat Windows-XP based facility supports major
cartographic, geographic information system (GIS), and
statistical software. Printing, digitizing, and scanning
equipment enable ready input and output of spatial information.
The lab is accessible to authorized users 24-hours a day, 7-days
a week, and is located in Eggers 014.
Geography faculty and graduate
students may use the GIA facility for research purposes. Lab access is
also granted to undergraduate Geography majors in techniques courses (e.g.
GEO 381, 383, 386) and who require
access to the lab for further related project or thesis work.
The GIA lab is managed by Brian von
Knoblauch. bevonkno@syr.edu

Physical Geography Laboratory (Heroy Hall)
Physical geographers at Syracuse University conduct field
research in temperate, cold and tropical environments, assessing
relations between several biophysical processes. Processing and
analysis of field samples is conducted in the state-of-the-art
biogeomorphology lab designed for physical geography faculty and
graduate research. The facility is housed in the Geology
building on campus. The facility has approximately 400 m2
of space divided into a sample preparation area, a clean room,
and a tree ring analysis room. Equipment includes a Ro-tap
sieve shaker, sample splitter, furnace, oven, stereographic and
petrographic microscopes, analytic balances, Micromeritics
Sedigraph and autosampler, and Vellmex unislide. Available
field equipment includes TDS meters, pH meters, flow meters,
snow corers, GPS units, and assorted survey and sampling tools.
