Morin, Paul H. Susman (Chair) Assistant Professors : Duane A. Griffin, Adrian N. Mulligan The course of study in geography is designed to provide a strong background in the discipline and a substantial foundation for a liberal arts education. A major in geography is good preparation for those interested in graduate work in geography, environmental and resource fields, urban planning and policy, or in careers in law, journalism, government, international affairs, business, and public service. The major in geography consists of a minimum of nine courses which must include: two required human geogra phy courses (social science credit): GEOG 209, GEOG 220; any two from the physical geography courses (natural science credit); four other geography courses (includes CAPS 411 courses);

Geography From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Physical map of the Earth ( Medium Large 2 MB Geography portal Geography is the scientific study of the locational and spatial variation of both physical, biological and human phenomena on Earth . The word derives from the Greek words or ("Earth") and ("to describe" and "to write,"). Wikimedia Commons has more media related to: Geography Geographers not only investigate what is where on Earth but also why it is there and not somewhere else. They then find whether these "locations in space" are the result of natural or human causes and what their consequences are for people. Geography is much more than its branch cartography , the study of maps , to which it is often equated and is far more than just the observation of various landforms. As William Hughes put it in an address in 1863: "Mere place names are not geography. To know by heart a whole gazeteer full of them would not, in itself, constitute anyone a geographer. Geography has higher aims than this: it seeks to classify phenomena (alike of the natural and of the political world insofar as it treats of the latter) to compare, to generalise, to ascend from effects to causes and in doing so to trace out the great laws of nature and to mark their influence upon man. In a word, geography is a science, a thing not of mere names, but of argument and reason, of cause and effect."

Back to Geography Degree Information VU Department of Geography and Meteorology Environmental Geography Concentration E N V I R O N M E N T A L G E O G R A P H Y An Overview Geography is a diverse discipline which is fundamentally concerned with how people interact with the physical environment. Environmental geography explores how humans impact, manage, and conserve that environment, including its land forms, water and soil resources, climate, and plant and animal communities. This concentration will introduce you to this geographic tradition through a combination of physical geography, management, and techniques courses. Physical geography, as it is often called, involves the study of the major land form types of the earth, as well as the fundamental tectonic, volcanic, fluvial, eolian, and glacial processes that produce them. Also included, however, is the study of the living organisms that cover these landforms, the weather and climate that affects them, and the soils that derive from them. The subfields of geomorphology, biogeography, soil science, and climatology, then, comprise physical geography. Environmental management involves the protection and conservation of the earth's natural resources, including water, air, soil, energy, and wetlands and other ecosystems. Environmental managers are particularly adept at assessing potential environmental impacts of various activities and at dealing with environmental emergency and disaster planning. Work of this nature requires training in the fields of biology and chemistry.
