Physical Geography Courses
Physical geographers study the Earth as a system, made up of four major subsystems- the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the biosphere.  The patterns and processes that shape the planet are both natural and anthropogenic, and a better understanding of these complex and changing processes is important for solving many environmental and economic problems.A foundation in physical geography can be obtained through two introductory courses:
  • GEOG 1112 & 1112L: Introduction to Weather & Climate
  • GEOG 1113 & 1113L: Introduction to Landforms
and continued at the upper level with a variety of other more specific offerings:
    • GEOG 4080: Environmental History
    • GEOG 4112: Advanced Weather & Climate
    • GEOG 4120: Natural Hazards
    • GEOG 4130: Wetland Environments
    • GEOG 4400: Resource Use
    • GEOG 4450: Environment & Society
    • GEOG 4710: Biogeography
    • GEOG 4740: Environmental Conservation
