Geography is the study of interactions between human society and the natural and built environments, and the places that are produced from these interrelationships. Geography brings a unique perspective to current environmental, social, economic, population and cultural issues through its appreciation of the role of all scales – global, national, regional and local – in influencing change. Geographers address the big issues facing society: from understanding migration patterns, investigating social and economic inequality, to exploring the condition of our inland rivers to forecasting the likely impact of climate change and sea level rise on coastal towns and cities. Interdisciplinary in nature, geography draws together knowledge, theory and methods from the natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities.
