Tired of people asking why you took a geography course and how it could help you get a job? Curi ous about undergraduate research opportunities and the benefits? Come to this talk for answers to these and other important questions!\n\n\nThis s eminar will provide a quick overview of how I became a geographer. I will talk about several examples of how undergraduate researchers use geograp hy and geospatial technologies to address important environmental questio ns\, where geography and geospatial technologies can take you\, and how u ndergraduate research can help your career. I will show project examples presenting ranges from urbanization influences on wetland water quality a nd the role of streambank erosion in watershed management\, to the detect ion of agricultural irrigation using drone and satellite imagery. I will provide an overview of the context\, design and findings of each research project and their benefit to you\, the student. These examples of direct and indirect benefits are from experiences at the University of Central Arkansas (UCA).\n\n\nDr. Matthew H. Connolly is an associate professor in the Department of Geography at UCA\, where he teaches courses in physica l geography and environmental science. He also coordinates the planning a dministration concentration of the interdisciplinary environmental scienc e program. He earned his bachelor's degree in management information syst ems and business administration at the University of Colorado-Denver. His master's and doctoral degrees were obtained through Texas State Universi ty. His current work focuses on geospatial technology applications in wat er resources\, water quality\, fluvial geomorphology and Land Use and Lan d Cover (LULC) influences on aquatic ecology. His collaborative research efforts have been funded by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission\, the N ASA EPSCoR Program\, the U.S. EPA and a Central Arkansas water utility. P lus\, Connolly is passionate about student success and professional devel opment.   X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><head><title></title></head><body><p>In terested in geography or geospatial technologies\, but not sure what prof essional opportunities they provide?
