GEOG 1000

Focusing on the interaction between landscape and the occurrence, distribution and movement of water, students explore the connection between phenomena such as drought, river behaviour and flooding, wildfires, groundwater, landslides, glaciers, soils and the impact of human activity. Students are introduced to environmental science research with a small research project on a topic that they feel is relevant to their lives and practice communicating about the topic. Through laboratory and field experiences, students will be introduced to tools and techniques used in the study of Earth processes including GIS.
