Undergraduate students are attracted from across the English speaking Caribbean, although the largest number of students typically come from Jamaica. History of the Department Major changes happened in 1965. The Geology Department moved to its present quarters, the De la Beche Building, and geography was established, after teachers, planners and other professionals in the West Indies lobbied for the subject to be introduced into the University's curriculum. Geography was initially a sub-department of the Geology Department, but in 1971, became a separate Department. Following a restructuring of Departments in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences in August, 1996, the Geography and Geology Departments were merged to form the present Department of Geography and Geology

My research combines critical analyses of macro-political economic forces (e.g. structural adjustment, trade liberalization, and the changing regulation of global agriculture) and the historical foundations of uneven landscapes and peasant economies, with a locally contoured approach that emphasizes the centrality of peasant interpretations in understanding both problems and possibilities for change - an agenda that is associated with the field of political ecology.

Extractions: IPSL PROGRAMS The geography of Jamaica is as varied as its people and its rich historical and cultural background. In Jamaica, you will learn about the original Carib and Arawak Indian peoples, Spanish and British colonialism, the plantation period and economy, the achievement of independence in 1962, and Jamaica's efforts toward development in the contemporary world as the leader of the Caribbean community. Jamaica is connected by culture to Africa, by geography to the Americas, and by history to the British Commonwealth. From its British heritage, the national language is English (with a melodious lilt), but you will equally hear and learn the "second language," patois. You will enjoy reggae music and learn of Bob Marley's leadership in bringing peace between rival political parties and points of view. Through academic study, volunteer work and your homestay, you will learn that this island nation is more than beaches and reggae (although both of these will certainly be part of your experience). You will directly encounter the social, cultural, economic, and political issues and concerns facing Jamaica and the Caribbean, and learn what it means for Jamaicans to live in the shadow of its giant neighbor to the north.

Extractions: Country Listing Caribbean Islands Table of Contents The highest area is that of the Blue Mountains. These eastern mountains are formed by a central ridge of metamorphic rock running northwest to southeast from which many long spurs jut to the north and south. For a distance of over 3 kilometers, the crest of the ridge exceeds 1,800 meters. The highest point is Blue Mountain Peak at 2,256 meters. The Blue Mountains rise to these elevations from the coastal plain in the space of about sixteen kilometers, thus producing one of the steepest general gradients in the world. In this part of the country, the old metamorphic rock reveals itself through the surrounding limestone. To the north of the Blue Mountains lies the strongly tilted limestone plateau forming the John Crow Mountains. This range rises to elevations of over 1,000 meters. To the west, in the central part of the country, are two high rolling plateaus: the Dry Harbour Mountains to the north and the Manchester Plateau to the south. Between the two, the land is rugged and here, also, the limestone layers are broken by the older rocks. Streams that rise in the region flow outward and sink soon after reaching the limestone layers. The limestone plateau covers two-thirds of the country, so that karst formations dominate the island. Karst is formed by the erosion of the limestone in solution. Sinkholes, caves and caverns, disappearing streams, hummocky hills, and terra rosa (residual red) soils in the valleys are distinguishing features of a karst landscape; all these are present in Jamaica. To the west of the mountains is the rugged terrain of the Cockpit Country, one of the world's most dramatic examples of karst topography.

The islands of the Caribbean look like stepping stones stretching in an arc from the western end of Venezuela in South America to the peninsula of Florida in North America. The islands are actually summits of a submarine mountain range, which in prehistoric times perhaps formed one large landmass connecting Central America to Venezuela in South America. Today these islands together with the northern coast of South America bound the Caribbean Sea. The eastern end of the arc consists of the smaller islands, which together form the Lesser Antilles. The Greater Antilles consists of four large islands of Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica and Puerto Rico and form the northern part of the arc. The islands vary widely in size, Jamaica being the third largest after Cuba and Haiti. Measuring 235 km from east to west and 80 km at its widest north to south point, Jamaica has a total area of about 10,990 sq km and boasts a coastline of about 1000 km. The island is strategically situated between Florida and Panama Canal on the world's major shipping and airline routes. Almost at the center of the Caribbean Sea, Jamaica lies 150 kilometers south of Cuba and 160 kilometers west of Haiti, its two closest neighbors.

Extractions: You mention the word Caribbean to most North Americans and they think of Jamaica. This could be attributed to many reasons including the fact that Jamaica is almost in the USA's backyard or Jamaicans have carried their history and culture wherever they may go and introduced it to the world or simply that it is the birthplace of music legend, Bob Marley. This island, the third largest in the Caribbean, is called the Land of Wood and Water and you only have to take one look at it to see why! Jamaica is very lush with 6 mountain ranges and 120 rivers including the famous Dunns River Falls. Like its Caribbean neighbours, Jamaica is a "melting pot" of people and cultures hence its motto "out of many one people." Although the majority of the population is of African descent other ethnic groups represented are East Indian, Arabic, Caucasian and Chinese. Jamaica's diverse physical beauty makes it a unique island from the lush Blue Mountains famous for its coffee to the beaches, rivers, caves and waterfalls located on the island. We encourage you to explore the true beauty of Jamaica and choose a favourite spotin fact we have a few favourite areas! History Jamaica takes its name from its early inhabitants, the Arawaks. The history books tell us that these peaceful Indians arrived from South America around 650 A.D. and named the island Xaymaca or "land of wood and water." The Arawak people established simple communities whose existence was based on fishing, hunting, and small scale cultivation of cassava.

Extractions: Geography Jamaica, a tropical island in the heart of the Caribbean, has a diverse and unique geography. Jamaica is a 146 mile long island with 4411 square miles of lush island. More than half Jamaica is mountains above 1000 feet high, making it an island with a very rugged terrain. While the mountains are mostly on the interior, the coastlines are flat beaches that stretch for as long as the eye can see. The northwest is a pitted landscape due to the many sinkholes that settled on the limestone surface. There are over 120 rivers that flow from the interior to the coast. Jamaica is believed to have been formed from volcanoes billions of years ago. Originally Jamaica was a rough rugged land, but eventually the climate and soil changed to provide conditions very suitable for the lush flora that can be seen today. Most of the plants except for pineapple, and guava were brought over by humans or bird droppings. There are over 3000 varieties of flowers can be found, including 800 species found only in Jamaica. The animal life, however is much plainer. There are rats, and mongooses, which are used to hunt the rats. There is also something known as the coney, a relative of the rat. There are also bats, crocodiles, and frogs. Far more impressive is the variety of birds on the island. There are over 200 species, ranging from the Doctor bird, to the brightly colored parakeets, parrots and finches. Since Jamaica has such lush plant and animal life, it figures that there is a lovely climate. There is an average of 77 inches of rain, mostly in October and May. This helps to the explain the many plant form that thrive there. The average temperature is 80 F, with a temperature below 50 F being considered frigid.
