Geography Department - University of Georgia A place for University of Georgia Department of Geography students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

The Department of Geography at UGA has been a leading center of scholarship about earth's landscapes and human relationships to the environment. Our inquiries encompass a wide range of topics, from the economies of cities and cultures of built landscapes, to tropical climates and the flow of polar ice sheets. We combine rigorous empirical work with deeply conceptual theoretical analyses, always recognizing the importance of both spatial processes and accumulated histories. We use geographic analyses to illuminate the abiding problems of the modern world. Users are fully responsible for any content they load on any of UGA's social media sites.

The gaps in access to food are not where most people would expect them to be.

According to a new study done by Dr. Shannon and his colleagues, Georgians who suffer from food insecurity and live in wealthier areas may struggle to access food resources. Lower income areas tend to have a higher number of people who rely on food assistance, leading to a higher number of organizations serving that population. In higher income areas, the number of food pantries and agencies decreases significantly.
