Coastal zone management !!!!!!!!!!

 

I think one of the lovely things about geography is the possibility of thinking about multiple job options due to the multiple fields that the discipline involves.

For example, there are geographers who work in geographic information systems (GIS), geospatial data analysis and processing, risk management, coastal management, among many others.

But for me it is attractive the possibility of working in coastal management linked to ecological territorial planning, I believe that in the Chilean coasts there are many things to improve to give a safer living to the communities. It is also necessary to recover and conserve the different coastal ecosystems that have been strongly degraded by the urban transformations of the coastline.

I hope to have the possibility to work in the field, so that the management is based on local knowledge and adequate to the territorial reality, both ecosystemic and community. Because at least from geography, it is always important to have a territorial diagnosis before thinking about an action plan to face a problem.

At this moment I am in my fourth year of geography, so thinking about the "ideal job" is a difficult question, but I hope that the previous practices and the different courses I have taken will help me to fulfill my mission.

    Hello! I like the interest you have around the idea of conserving our coasts. Despite the fact of having a great richness and biodiversity, the coasts have still been so damaged. Around that, we need people to get involved and aware of solving these issues, so I hope your path can continue in that line so that you can fullfil your dream job.

"Mi pais inventado"

 In this post I will briefly comment on the last book I read: Mi pais inventado, by Isabel Allende.  I had only read one book by this author when I was a child, Cuentos de eva luna, but I don't think I appreciated the magnificent narrative, irony and grace that she has in her writing.                                                                   Isabel Allende This book   : Mi pais inventado, is mainly a description of Chile, based on her memories of her childhood and life. It considers physical, historical, geographical and political characteristics, as well as critiques of the different historical contexts he goes through during the narrative, along with customs and memories and his family. However, what guides this work is the nostalgia of the author, which gives the starting point to the book, as ...

  I’m a fourth-year student of , and the different interesting topics that are involved in the career give many options when thinking about the future. Because it has social and natural themes, which are constantly linked. But I have always felt inclined to coastal geography. I still have a lot to learn, because the subject is quite complex since it involves many variables. But last year with a colleague we did a study of “Bahia Quintay”, which is located in the commune of Casablanca, and it was very interesting to know and analyze the impacts of urbanization on the coastal dynamics of the area. Such as the vegetative changes that the area has suffered, the decrease in flow of an estero ☹ , increased accumulation of sand, loss of species, etc. I think that studying these phenomena is interesting, but, above all, necessary, because the different natural environments require protection and care, both because of the risks associated with living near the sea, but also because of ...

Changes to my study programme :)

  I think that geography is a career with a great diversity of subjects, that means a very varied curriculum. However, this year I have realized that, despite having many good and useful subjects, there is a lack of subjects that help us to practice, like providing solutions to problems and not only investigate them. Because throughout the career we always investigate, we make a diagnosis of everything that happens in the territory, but very rarely the projects reach a moment of providing solutions, so we lack practice in that. I also think that there are many programs that we could work throughout the career, so that they are not foreign or complex when we have to use them in the working world, or in the process of practice and title memory. Such as, for example, REDATAM, SPSS, QGIS, etc. These are programs used to work with large data matrices  according to what it is to be investigated or solved. Although now I seem very convinced of the relevance of these method...
