Ohio State’s PhD in Geography supports research across human geography, physical geography, and GIScience. Students examine pressing global issues such as urban inequality, climate adaptation, migration, and health disparities using advanced spatial theory, remote sensing, field methods, and quantitative modeling. Graduates pursue academic, public sector, and applied research careers.
