Global Impact Through Geography

Our understanding of our Earth systems has both expanded and deepened over time. Discovery and knowledge in Geography is not only about maps, or the physical placement of places and features, Geography blends the physical and social sciences and the humanities ­ our interactions with places and each other. It is the study of relationships between people and their environments using cartography, rapidly evolving technologies in Geographic Information Science (GIS), remote sensing and spatial analysis to learn how the human, social, cultural and economic aspects of humankind interrelate.
