This project implements a new model of education intended to transform the way geographic techniques are taught to majors and non-majors in the Department of Geography at the University of Texas. Recent technological advances have intensified divergence between specialized training in geographical techniques and systematic training in geography's subdisciplines. This project will enable the power of advances in computer-assisted cartography, geographic information systems, remote sensing, and spatial statistics to be applied across the discipline. Its method stresses the commonality of content and method in the practice of modern geography.

该项目实施了一种新的教育模式，旨在改变德克萨斯大学地理系专业和非专业学生教授地理技术的方式。最近的技术进步加剧了地理技术专门培训与地理学分学科系统培训之间的分歧。该项目将使计算机辅助制图、地理信息系统、遥感和空间统计方面的进步的力量在各学科中得到应用。其方法强调内容和方法在现代地理学实践中的共性。
