Geography Geography – The science that studies the terrestrial surface, the societies that inhabit it and the territories, landscapes, places or regions that form it. Physical geography – The branch of natural science which deals with the study of processes and patterns in the natural environment such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere, as opposed to the cultural or built environment, the domain of human geography Human geography – The study of cultures, communities and activities of peoples of the world Geostatistics – A branch of statistics focusing on spatial data sets Environmental chemistry – The scientific study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in natural places Environmental soil science – The study of the interaction of humans with the pedosphere as well as critical aspects of the biosphere, the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere. Environmental geology – An applied science concerned with the practical application of the principles of geology in the solving of environmental problems. Geographic information science – Scientific study of geographic data and information Edaphology – The science concerned with the influence of soils on living things Pedology – The study of soils in their natural environment Geomorphology – The scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them Spatial decision support systems – Computerised aid to land use decisions Global Positioning System (GPS ) – American satellite navigation system Economic geology – Science concerned with earth materials of economic value Engineering geology – The application of the geology to engineering practice Hydrology – The science of applying engineering techniques to the properties of the earth's water, especially its movement in relation to land. Meteorology – Interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere focusing on weather forecasting Satellite navigation – Any system that uses satellite radio signals to provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning Remote sensing – Acquisition of information at a significant distance from the subject Photogrammetry – The science of making measurements using photography
