Geography is the integrated study of the Earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and environments. The subject offers insights into some of the most pressing problems currently facing humanity. It is unique in bridging the social sciences (human geography) with its understanding of the dynamics of cultures, societies and economies, and the Earth sciences (physical geography) with physical landscapes and environmental processes.
