- Geography is a wide-ranging discipline. It encompasses social, physical, biophysical and environmental sciences and the humanities. Applied geography offers avenues for study within physical and human geography. Geographers strive to understand how the Earth works and how humans interact with the Earth and with each other at a range of geographical scales.
- Physical geographers are interested in environments, resources and management processes in relation to landforms, geographic information science, soils, global and regional climate change, pollution and erosion, and natural hazards. Human geographers focus on human- nature relationships, social change and social inclusion, urban, regional and remote planning, and human rights.
