Introduction

Geography is concerned with the spatial variations of human and physical phenomena, the processes which produce these variations and the interrelationships between people and their environments. Fields that have always been of importance to geographers are well represented in the department. Regional courses dealing with Canada, S.E. Asia and the Caribbean explore the past and present geography of these areas. Likewise there are clusters of courses relating to urban, economic, cultural, historical and physical geography. Combined with these offerings are specialties such as those dealing with water resources and resource management, urban and regional planning, ecological studies, landforms, arctic climates and environments and the social geography of cities and rural areas.

Environmental science encompasses the study of the major natural interacting systems of climate, water, biota and landforms and the effects of human activities on these systems. The program provides students with a broad interdisciplinary education which is organized around the field of environmental science rather than being focused on a single academic discipline. It equips students with scientific knowledge and understanding of several environmental systems so that they can effectively analyze and deal with complex environmental problems.
