MA in Applied Medical Anthropology The Applied Medical Anthropology concentration offers a Master's degree for students interested in using anthropological theory and methods in research on regional, national, and international health problems. After completion of the M.A. degree, employment may be sought through community agencies, research centers, and institutional grants and projects. Within cultural and physical anthropology a number of faculy interest groupings focus on public issues. Most prominent are: (1) problems arising in complex societies -- education, social justice, warfare, government, health care, pluralism, and minority relations, (2) medical anthropology, including applied medical anthropology, ethnomedicine, and ethnopsychiatry, and (3) adaptive human biology, including factors affecting growth and health, and work capacity in contemporary populations. The Archaeological Survey is a not-for-profit research, contracting and applied archaeology institution within the Department of Anthropology at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB). The Archaeological Survey has been engaged in Cultural Resource Management (CRM) projects for over 30 years. The Survey typically conducts 30-35 contract projects per year, ranging from linear highway and pipeline surveys, to small area surveys such as well pads and quarries, to studies involving large tracts slated for residential or industrial development. During, the last
two years a revolution in agriculture and agricultural management
has occurred based on the rapid growth of computing technologies,
particularly in relation to geographic information systems and
global positioning systems industries. The use of GIS and GPS in
precision agriculture, field management, fertilizer, crop and animal
transportation, and agricproduct storage is a burgeoning area.
Following the model of users groups in other industries, this agricultural
users group acts as a focus for information regarding the use of
gis and gps in agriculture, provides information on known gis and
gps solutions to agricultural applications, impacts policy on agriculture
through gis and gps, increases agricultural production through
gis and gps, and increases profits through gis and gps. National Center for Georgraphic Information and Analysis The NCGIA was founded in 1988 as a National Science Foundation center for research in geographic information and its related technologies. Today, the NCGIA continues as an independent consortium specializing in research, education, and outreach in geographic information science. Among the projects of the Buffalo unit are: analyzing the economic impacts of transportation improvements; investigating the distribution of suburban deer populations in order to reduce the number of deer-vehicle collisions; and using geographic information technology to predict the growth rate of fish species in the Great Lakes. Established in 1985, the program dedicates its staff and funding to protect and preserve the resources of the Great Lakes while serving, on behalf of the University at Buffalo (UB), the research, outreach and educational needs of those who live around these "sweet water seas." This ecologically and economically important ecosystem is home to more than 40 million people in the United States and Canada.
