Description:

This course provides an introduction to physical geography, a natural science allied with sciences such as geology, climatology, meteorology, oceanography, hydrology botany and agronomy. The geographic perspective is unique in that it integrates not only the individual systems that have commonly been associated with a single discipline, but also the interaction of these systems within a framework we call Earth System Science. The major goal of this class is to provide a fundamental understanding of the physical environment we live in. In doing so, the course will provide the basis for comprehending modern environmental issues, including those affected by human activities.
