Geography is a scientific study of man's interaction with his environment. Major thrust in Geography is based on four distinct but interrelated traditions, i.e., an earth science tradition, a location tradition and an area analysis tradition; a logical study of man's activities in different regions happens to be the overriding theme in this discipline. Geographers study the natural processes of the physical environment, as well as the activities and consequences of humans in this environment. Some geographers specialize in coastal, glacial or fluvial processes and landforms, climatology, biogeography, hydrology or environmental change. Other study regional economics, population change, and the problems of rural or urban areas. Still others, specializing in spatial analysis, bring the power of geographic information science to bear on a wide range of research problems. Increasingly, these varied interests are coming together in the study of environmental problems and Geographers lead the way in resource management. Geography teaches valuable skills such as spatial data analysis and geographical information systems, landform and hydrological interpretation, introduction to population and economic statistics, computing skills, field skills and ethics.
