*Including Bachelor of Science Major in Applied Mathematics.

Lab schedules

Geography labs are completed with a "home lab kit," therefore you set your own schedule and pace. GEOG 265/266/302 home labs must be completed, however, by the course contract end-date.

Lab resources

  • The is a system for search and acquisition of earth science data products from NASA and affiliated centers. Some of these imagery data are free while others are available at a low cost.
  • provides access to geospatial data of Canada (GIS and remote sensing data) with a free access.
  • provides access to geospatial data of Canada (GIS and remote sensing data) with a free access.
  • The develops and distributes at no cost via FTP remotely sensed satellite data and products that explain land cover from the local to global scales.
  • is a Digital Earth Program that allows a multi-resolution and three-dimensional digital representation of our planet, into which a vast collection of spatially referenced data is integrated (i.e. satellite images, aerial photographs, GIS vector data).
  • - find out how far apart any two places are and see them on a map.
  • The is a huge database holding more than 15,000 descriptions of Earth science data sets and services covering all aspects of Earth and environmental sciences.
  • provides interactive mapping and teaching resources.
  • The provides cryospheric data and other information gathered from such sources as remote sensing instruments, ground measurements, and models (i.e. snow and ice data as well as data on the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, oceans and land surfaces).
  • The archives and distributes data relevant to the physical state of the ocean. Several satellite and sensors are available.
  • is a Digital Earth Program that allows a multi-resolution and three-dimensional digital representation of our planet, into which a vast collection of spatially referenced data is integrated (i.e. satellite images, aerial photographs, GIS vector data).
  • lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D.
