Science That Connects to The Earth
The major missions of our department include: (1) to conduct research that advances scientific knowledge in geographical science and support interdisciplinary research programs, (2) to train students in spatial thinking at both undergraduate and graduate levels to serve society, and (3) to provide innovative professional service to broader communities through various outreach programs using new geographical concepts and spatial methods. The overarching goal of both our programs is to train next generation of students to serve society and be critical spatial thinkers, using geographic theories and approaches to tackle some of the most challenging problems and questions facing the discipline and society. We have excellent faculty with diverse interests and connections.
Applied & Professional Oriented
Our department is multifaceted and has diverse fields ranging from geosciences, GIS, to social & cultural geography including environmental hazards. The broad academic backgrounds of our faculty and the spatial thinking approach make our department easy to connect with many other disciplines in collaborative endeavors. The vision of our department is to lead the interdisciplinary investigation of many critical social and natural challenges and problems of the 21st century tied to regional, landscape, and environmental changes through a spatiotemporal lens. We emphasize geospatial concepts and lead the emerging environmental issues, development of geography, geoscience, and GIS programs to attract outstanding undergraduate & graduate students and faculty.
Our Journey
The department of Geography and Environment, under the faculty of Sciences, started functioning on October 03, 2017. It is situated on the fourth floor of the Dr. Abu Wazed Miah Science building of Islamic University. The department consists of four faculty members and hosts about 250 students. The prime objective of this department is to make students aware of the relationship between Human and the Physical Environment. The department offers four Year B.Sc (Hons) Undergraduate Program and one-year M.S Graduate Program. MS level students are offered courses of two streams covering both thesis and non-thesis group. Graduate Program also offers Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The Programs offer multiple courses on Physical Geography; Human Geography; Geo-spatial Techniques (GIS & Remote Sensing) and Environmental Sciences.

Geospatial Analysis & Climate Modeling Lab
Advance computing devices for climate modeling and data analysis
Environmental Analysis Lab
Advance monitoring sensors,tools and setup for chemical & physical analysis of environment
Surveying Lab
Advance tools for mapping and field data collecing appliance
Geology Lab
Geology lab is equipped with a wide array of tools and instruments designed to aid in the study of Earth's materials. Microscopes allow for detailed examination of rock and mineral samples, enabling geologists to identify their composition and study their microscopic features. Petrographic microscopes, in particular, facilitate the analysis of thin sections, thin slices of rocks or minerals mounted on glass slides. These microscopes enable researchers to observe the mineralogy, texture, and structures of rocks at a microscopic scale
