Geography is the study of human and physical environments. It is a subject that combines topics related to physical and human processes over space and time. With the use of Geography, we can better understand our complex world. There are many branches of study in Geography. For example, in Physical Geography, we examine natural processes and features, including the atmosphere, landforms and ecosystems. In Human Geography, we investigate the activities and impact of people on Earth. The concept that unifies Geography is space. All geographical phenomena have a spatial dimension and operate in a continuously changing environment. Any topic in Geography can be explored by applying a conceptual framework that embraces Geography's four Big Ideas: place, spatial processes, spatial distribution patterns and human and environment interaction.

Application

Geography is an interdisciplinary subject that combines knowledge of Sciences, Economics and Humanities. It provides learners with knowledge, understanding, and attitudes applicable in various contexts. These geographical skills and thinking hold the key that can help solve many of our global problems, such as climate change, water scarcity, population and migration, energy, food production, and pollution. Career opportunities in this field include aviation, cartography, earth sciences, eco-tourism, geographical information systems (GIS), geology, land surveying, meteorology, environmental-related careers (law, management), regional and urban planning, hydrology, and oceanography.
