GEOG 101 - Environment and Society


Class Hours: 3
Lab/Discussion: 0
Credits: 3

Description: The physical environment is modified by human activities, largely as a consequence of the ways in which societies value and use earth’s natural resources, but human activities and distributions are, in turn, influenced by earth’s physical features and processes. These themes are addressed by examining the geography of environmental impacts such as tropical deforestation, global climate change, energy development, urban growth, and agricultural land use. Also considered are natural hazards such as hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and flooding.
