What is Geography?

Geography, as the name implies, is about the study of the Earth. In particular, it is the description and analysis of both human and physical phenomena over the Earth’s surface and the interrelationships among those phenomena.

At Brock, the Department of Geography has three main components: human geography, physical geography and geomatics.
