Introduction to Geography Geography is considered a spatial science. A science that deals with the use of space and the patterns and affects of the distribution of phenomena across the earth. This essentially means that geographers study why and how things (whether they be people, cultures, landscapes, climate, etc.) differ from one place to another. Geography is a part of our everyday lives taking place on various scales, from the personal decisions we make to the global interactions of material in our biosphere. The holistic synthesis that is innate to geography brings both human and physical systems together in order to understand the complex interactions between them. The Nature of Geography by Richard Hartshorne National Geographic's Five themes of Geography Geographic Education and Public Policy - Geography Harm DeBlij's speech on geographic education and public policy Geographic Concepts: Since geography is a spatial science and deals with difference among place it is necessary to quantify the location of place. We know the location of a place either by its exact coordinates in an accepted reference systems such as latitude and longitude, this is known as absolute location, or we can know where a place is relative to another place, this is called relative location. Example: The absolute location of the United States is 38 00 N, 97 00 W

One of the earth sciences, physical geography brings together elements of the natural sciences, such as climatology, hydrology, oceanography, geology, geomorphology, biology, and ecology, to understand the processes responsible for the physical patterns of climate, water, soils, vegetation, and landforms fond over the earth. Goals Students should understand the major concepts, terms, principles, and tools used by physical geographers to interrelate the elements of the physical environment in terms of both patterns and processes.

Geography provides a broad understanding of the processes that unite people, places and environments. Geographers explore the diverse regions of the contemporary world in pursuit of global understanding. They tie together the study of human spatial organizations and cultural landscapes with an in-depth investigation of the earth’s landforms, climates and vegetation. Their methods range from fieldwork in foreign areas to advanced information technologies like computerized geographic information systems. Geography graduates find rewarding careers in environmental analysis and planning, business, government agencies and education.

Syllabus GEPL 3550 Physical Geography Place: 4410 University Hall Objective : The media regularly exposes us to various environmental problems that society faces locally and globally. These problems encompass topics such as global climate warming, ozone depletion, toxic hazards, water shortages, floods, landslides, earthquakes and forest fires. This class will introduce you to the fundamental aspects of physical geography: the understanding of the physical elements and processes which comprise the environment and the spatial patterns of these elements and processes. You should come away from this class with a better understanding of the various environmental processes which shape the earth’s landscape and impact global habitability. You will also have an improved appreciation for the integrative, spatial perspectives geographers bring to environmental studies.

Hardware/ Software Expectations Home Course Description Geography 120: The Physical Environment is an introduction to the academic discipline of physical geography, which is a comprehensive study of the natural environment. Physical geography, like other subdivisions of geography, is concerned with the spatial distribution of natural phenomena, and seeks to explain the distribution systems involved. Physical geography focuses primarily on the "natural" environment of the earth, especially as it relates to people, It looks at phenomena like climate, vegetation, and landforms. Physical geography can be organized around four earth systems: Atmosphere, the layer of gases that surrounds earth Hydrosphere, which is water in its various forms Biosphere, the plants and animals of earth Lithosphere, the solid portion of earth Physical geography is concerned with the processes that create natural phenomena. Physical geography is unusual in that it utilizes many other sciences and weaves them together to explain the "where's," "why's," and "how's," of the natural environment. For example, in studying climate, physical geography is concerned with where different climates are found, why they are there, how they affect people, and how people affect them.

Course Purpose: Geography is both a physical science and a social science discipline which analyzes the earth spatially. This course will therefore spatially survey the patterns and processes of the earth's four "spheres": the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. It will provide you with a basic framework with which you can begin a systematic understanding of the physical earth as a habitat for all living organisms . Instruction and evaluation will focus on a systematic understanding of concepts and their interrelationships, rather than on memorizing facts and specifics. Course Objectives: At the end of the course, students should be able to: understand how maps are basically made, their advantages and limitations, and purposes; and demonstrate a knowledge of and an ability to interpret and use a wide variety of maps. understand what the sun and the earth's energy systems do to the earth and its living organisms, how they do it, and where they do it.
