Geography
The Department of Geography provides a broad-ranging perspective on the human transformation of the face of the earth. The search for such understanding involves a thorough study of (a) interlocking systems of the natural environment (climate, landforms, oceans, biota); (b) the social use (and abuse) of natural resources; (c) the spatial organization of human activity; and (d) areas of the earth's surface at various scales: cities, regions, nations, states, or landscapes where integrated interpretation of cultural, economic, and political processes can be attempted.
