Studies begin with the investigation of conservation, biodiversity, and global warming.
You investigate the use and misuse of water resources, land degradation and rehabilitation, the influence of politics and capital on land use, mineral exploration, and the social and economic wealth of nations. Studies then diversify into geographic information systems, erosion and deposition, Third World developments, regional planning, Asia-Pacific change and development, environmental planning and management, and environmental change. Combining geography with other subjects such as geology can lead you to majors in environmental geoscience or environmental geomechanics. Geography can also be studied in the Bachelor of Arts degree.
