To facilitate the outreach activities and external scholarship of faculty, future faculty and cadets in areas related to teaching and learning in environmental and geographic sciences by serving as a conduit to the local community, the region, the Army and the nation in areas related to basic, applied and academic research.

The research philosophy of my department emphasizes conducting research that expands scientific understanding in our disciplines, while providing the United States Army with solutions to multifaceted technical and policy issues. Further, most research should complement the primary mission of the academic program at the United States Military Academy, educating and inspiring cadets to become life-long learners. Our research supports our academic mission by providing real-world teaching examples, professional development for the faculty, and opportunities for cadet independent academic development projects.   The department’s outreach effort is focused through the Center for Environmental and Geographic Sciences (CEGS). The CEGS works with the Army, other governmental agencies, and community partners to provide a resource for research in military geography, environmental security, environmental science and engineering, and the field of geospatial information science. We have laboratory facilities for environmental science and engineering, geology, and the geosciences. Our Geosciences Laboratory provides state-of-the-art hardware and software for all areas related to geographic information systems, remote sensing, cartography, photogrammetry and surveying. The scope of effort by the Department also includes active participation in solving problems related to the Army’s vision of being a national leader in environmental stewardship for the twenty-first century. Our goal is to capitalize on the talents and initiatives of our outstanding faculty as the foundation for building a national-class research program that benefits the Army, the Hudson Valley, and the U.S. Military Academy.

How to use this wiki library
You can use this wiki library to share knowledge, brainstorm ideas, collaborate with your team on a design, create an instruction guide, build an encyclopedia of knowledge, or just write down daily information in an easily accessible and modifiable format.

Editing pages
To edit this page, click on the Edit Page icon at the top of the page. To see all available commands, click on the Page tab. When you are editing, you can type text onto the page or insert tables and pictures. To stop editing, click the Save button at the top of the page. If you leave the page while editing, you will be prompted to save your changes.

Creating wiki links
You can link to another page in this wiki library by enclosing the name of the page in double brackets. When you type [[, the wiki will suggest page names that start with what you've typed. You can select one of these pages using the arrow keys or the mouse, or you can type in a new name. If you type in a new name, it will make a link to a page which has not yet been created. Links are finished by typing ]]. If you are linking to a page in a subfolder or an item in another list, you can press tab to add the selected suggested item to your link without closing the link.

You can link to many objects in SharePoint, not just pages. Here are some examples of links:
[[Dogs]] : A link to a page named Dogs in the same folder.
[[Animals/Dogs]] : A link to a page named Dogs in a subfolder called Animals.
[[List:Announcements/Welcome]] : A link to the item called Welcome in the Announcements list on this site.

To create a link to a page and have the link display different text than the page name, type a pipe character (|) after the page name, and then type the display text. For example, type [[Home|Home Page]] to create the link labeled Home Page that points to the page named Home.

To display double opening or closing brackets without making a link, type a backslash before the two brackets. For example, \[[ or \]].

Creating pages
There are two main ways to create a new page in your wiki library:

1. Create a link to a page which does not exist and then click on it to create the page:
   This is the recommended way to create a page because it is easier for people to find the page when another page links to it. Links to pages that do not yet exist have a dashed underline.
   


2. Create a page that is not linked to any other:
   In the Site Actions menu, click New Page. This will ask you for a name and then create that page in the current wiki library.

Managing your wiki library
You can manage the pages in your wiki library by clicking View All Pages on the Page tab of any page in the library.

Restoring a page
If you need to restore a previous version of a page, click Previous Versions in the Page tab at the top of the page. You can then click on any of the versions in the quick launch to view the page as it existed at that time. If you want to restore to a version, select it and click Restore this version in the toolbar.

Viewing incoming links
You can see which pages link to the current page by clicking Incoming Links at the top of the page. This will show you any pages which link to this page.
