Geography Department This program provides advanced study in human and physical geography with an to the major components of the physical environment including landforms, http://www.fullerton.edu/catalog/academic_departments/geog.asp
Extractions: Geography is the study of the earth as the home of humanity. Geography provides a broad understanding of the processes that unite people, places and environments. Geographers explore the diverse regions of the contemporary world in pursuit of global understanding. They tie together the study of human spatial organizations and cultural landscapes with an in-depth investigation of the earths landforms, climates and vegetation. Their methods range from fieldwork in foreign areas to advanced information technologies like computerized geographic information systems. Geography graduates find rewarding careers in environmental analysis and planning, business, government agencies and education. International Learning Opportunities in Geography The Department of Geography is strongly committed to providing students with an international perspective. Geography 100 Global Geography offers a broad overview of the major countries and regions of the earth. Upper-division courses in Latin America (Geography 333), Europe (Geography 336), Asia (Geography 340) and Africa (Geography 344) offer an opportunity for in-depth study of specific regions. Finally, many other courses (Geography 120 Global Environmental Problems and Geography 360 Geography of the Worlds Economics, for example), include a strong international emphasis. In recent years, members of the geography faculty have conducted fieldwork in Asia, South America and Europe.

Extractions: Chapter 3: Physical Geography Landforms Survey of physical processesvery basic info. Long chapter, but very interesting and can be visual-based for easy understanding. The physical environment is highly dynamic and we must deal with it.(58) Some of the changes are very slow, imperceptible in the human life, and some are very rapid and catastrophic. What are some examples of slow physical processes? Mountain building, river evolution, plate tectonics (continental drift) Examples of fast processes? Floods, volcanoes, landslides. The basic Earth materials have different properties and characteristics that are important in understanding physical processes. (56) What are the three basic kinds of rocks or Earth materials? Sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic. How are they made? From the book. Good brief background. Roughly 4.7 billion years If 1 yr = 1/10 (1 = 1 decade) Your life span = 8 if lucky. Earth age = 7,575 miles In car, drive to Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, NYC, Miami, and back to Richmond At 60 mph = Over 126 hrs, over 5 days travel.

Extractions: Geography helps us make sense of the world as a whole. Traditionally, however, geographers have tended to concentrate on the physical or the human aspects in order to simplify a complicated business. Sometimes it is appropriate for teachers to do this in their classrooms, but in the end, the thing that makes geography special is its holistic view of the world. Many believe the primary curriculum should always take this integrated and holistic view. Children do enjoy studying about people. However, there are opportunities to explore and enjoy the physical environment for what it is in its own splendour and glory. Pupils natural curiosity should be utilised to allow them to explore and be inspired by their immediate physical world and use the wider physical world that is, for the moment, beyond their reach.

Extractions: Geomatics is an emerging subfield, referring to the techniques of spatial data acquisition, handling and analysis. Included within this sub-field have been geographic applications of computer analysis and spatial modeling, spatial statistics, remote sensing technology, and Geographic Information Systems. Many of these techniques have their origins in the applied sciences, but both physical and human geographers have contributed greatly to their development and application. The application of such methodologies in geographic fields, such as resource management, urban geography, climate change, and applied geography, has also provided closer co-operation between human and physical geography, as well as promoting considerable interdisciplinary research with other University disciplines. The Major and Honours B.Sc. degree programs in Physical Geography serve students who desire advanced study in the academic subject matter of various themes contained within Physical Geography. The Honours program in particular is intended for students interested in the opportunity for exposure to advanced geographic research. As such, the Honours program demands higher academic performance. Students who are ineligible to enter Honours in their second year may establish this in the following year on the basis of their improved scholastic performance. The degree programs may be pursued on a full or part-time basis.
