Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

We deal with more than just maps. We are a community of scholars who seek to understand the complex ways humans engage with and create places. We are fascinated by questions of weather, earth, and human movement around the globe. We connect physical science, social science, and the humanities to ask challenging questions and generate new knowledge.

Are you ready to map the future with us?
