Historical Geography

The studies of historical and political geography offer students in-depth analysis and research in actual issues such as: borders, the political implications of water resources, governance. All of that with particular emphasis on historical and spatial processes and the political dimensions of these issues.

B.A. Introduction to historical geography Seminar - Historical geography: the first decade of Israel Israel borders Urban-historical geography of Europe Urban-historical geography of Jerusalem Historical geography of Israel at the new era Territorialism, space and conquest

M.A. Authority and space in Israel National land policy Politics of water Design of the settled space Geography of borders

Geoinformatics (Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing, cartography)

Studies in this field include a large variety of courses and specialization in the field of GIS, Remote Sensing and Cartography. The studies provide the students with the training needed to become professional in these areas and by that to increase their chances to integrate in the employment market. The demand for graduates of this fields is increasing lately especially in private firms which specialize in GIS and Remote Sensing and also in the public sector such as municipalities, and the defense industry.

B.A. Introduction to remote sensing Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - A Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - B Remote sensing of the urban environment Fundamentals of cartography and geodesy Mathematical models in geography Israel borders Introduction to urban and regional planning

M.A. Advanced analytical mapping Remote sensing of soils Spectroscopy of reflection for monitoring the human environment Image processing for monitoring the environment Hyper-spectral remote sensing Spatial decision making in GIS Aerial photograph for planning Building Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Advanced statistical methods for spatial analysis

Urban Planning

Studies in City and Planning provides the student with academic , research and practical opportunities in the field of urban planning, cognitive geography, GIS, sustainability and human rights. The studies in this field focus on learning and the training of practical and research tools which are used in the field of urban planning. The students gain experience which can then eases their integration in the employment market in municipalities, government ministries and urban planning private firms.

B.A. Introduction to urban geography Fundamentals of cognitive geography Geography of population and emigration Issues in theoretical geography Urban planning and social segregation The 2nd urban revolution in Israel City and Suburb Introduction to urban and regional planning Spatial planning in Israel Gender relationship in the Israeli region Social geography Architectonic exposures of the spaceב

M.A. Self organization of the city and urban planning Architectonic perceptions of the environment Computerized simulation of urban systems Environmental systems Geographical information and its application to planning Gender and environmental planning Social groups in the city Urban climate

Enviromental Managment

Studies in this field provide the students with the opportunities to be exposed to both practical and academic experiences mainly in the field of : ecology, environmental esthetics , quality of life and environmental economics. Studies in this field provide the students with the suitable background to integrate in work with municipalities and government agencies, which work on environmental issues.

B.A. Introduction to urban geography Man, landscape and environment in highlands Geography of population and emigration Ideologist landscapes in Israel Environmental management Social geography Introduction to medical geography Fundamentals of cognitive geography Architectonic exposures of the space

Physical Enviroment (climate, soil, hydrogeology and water resources)

These fields of research train the students in climatology, geo-hydrology and water and land resources. These areas of research are becoming one of the major parts of environmental sciences. Graduates of these studies can integrate in the employment market as climatologists and researchers in water and land resources.

B.A. Applied climatology: environmental and planning aspects Climate changes Regional climatology Introduction to synoptic meteorology The climate of Israel Applied meteorology in climate change era Introduction to geo-hydrology Water and environment Israel soils Soil and environment mutuality in Israel Economics of environmental quality and natural resources Introduction to remote sensing Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - A Observations and instruments in meteorologyה issues in climate Natural disasters Tracer Hydrology Seminar – issues in climate

M.A. Chemistry for non chemists Extreme weather events and their environmental implications Urban climate Methodology of climatic planning Major processes in groundwater and surface water contamination Workshop in climatic planning Special issues of environmental quality
