Geography

Human Geography investigates the worlds of humans and non-humans, and their interactions with environments and built and symbolic landscapes, to foster more socially and environmentally just societies in an ever-changing world. Physical Geography explores the interactions of weather and climate patterns, and landform development, with the biosphere. This includes processes at the Earth’s surface that interact with, affect, and are affected by, human activities in order to comprehend and mitigate climate change, and promote environmental justice and responsibility. Geomatics involves scientific and technological practices that integrate cartography, remote sensing (including drone technologies) and geographical information systems (GIS). All these high-tech specialties are crucial to academia, government, business and the military.
