National Science Education Standards: Observe, Interact, Change, Learn (National Research Council) The National Geography Standards at: HOW can natural hazards fit into my science curriculum? Natural hazards are an ideal topic of study in almost any geography, earth science, or social studies class. To study natural hazards, geographers often focus on the interaction of physical Earth processes and human activities. Therefore, a discussion of natural hazards can address many of the guidelines of the National Geography Standards (see below). WHY should natural hazards be included in my science curriculum? Actually, natural hazards are an important part of a science curriculum, as indicated by the National Science Education Standards and the National Geography Standards - National Science Education Standards (Content F) Normal adjustments of earth may be hazardous for humans. Humans live at the interface between the atmosphere driven by solar energy and the upper mantle where convection creates changes in the earth's solid crust. As societies have grown, become stable, and come to value aspects of the environment, vulnerability to natural processes of change has increased.

Welcome Notes About Anthropology About Geography Facilities and Laboratories ... Student Projects Geography Undergraduate Program Geography has a long tradition of integrating the physical, human, and behavioral sciences, thereby providing the liberal arts student with many useful perspectives for intellectual development. Geographers receive training in both the physical and human elements of the field. Human geographers examine settlement patterns, the connections between people and places, and the cultural and economic interdependence of the world system. Human geographers also relate their work to the physical environment and the interaction between human and physical systems. Topics of study include ethnicity, urban dynamics, economic patterns, migration, and the spatial difference between work and residential locations. Physical geographers emphasize the study of weather and climate, landforms, water resources, the impact of the physical environment on human behavior, and how human behavior affects the natural world. Geography also includes the study of cartography, the science and art of mapping. Cartographers design and use maps for spatial analysis, graphic communication, and the management of geographic information databases. Given the spatial orientation of their studies, geographers possess a special understanding of today¹s complex social, economic, and environmental problems. Increasingly, geographic specialists are involved in solving a broad range of economic, social, and environmental problems of global, regional, and local scale.

GEOGRAPHY Geography serves as a bridge between the physical and social sciences. Empahsis is on the nature and distribution of environmental systems, human activities, relations between them, and their variation from place to place. Geography's uniqueness is not derived from the subject matter studied, but from the discipline's technical and methodological approach to the locational analysis of phenomena. The geography major is performance-based with a research project required for graduation. The department offers four track options within the major and two geography minors. The track options for a geography major are general geography, geoarchaeology, geographic techniques, and cultural resource management (CRM). The two geography minors are physical geography and cultural geography. A minor in physical geography emphasizes the processes and forces that effect the earth's surface and the interaction between the environment and the humans living within that environment. Physical geography includes examination of the areas of meteorology, climatology, biogeography, pedology, and geomorphology. A minor in cultural geography concentrates on examining the spatial patterns of humans on earth and their demographics, distribution, economics, politics, language, religion, ethnicity, behavior, settlement patterns, transportation systems, cultural patterns, and urbanization.

Women's Studies GEOGRAPHY BACHELOR OF ARTS MINOR CERTIFICATE CAREER POSSIBILITIES ... FACULTY PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Geography is a contemporary discipline with ancient roots. Millennia ago the Egyptians and Greeks measured the Earth and the heavens and developed explanations for the diversity they saw. Geographers today maintain that same curiosity about places and spaces. They examine both physical and cultural landscapes, focusing on the many environments that people inhabit, alter, create, and perceive. The Department of Geography at CSUS provides a wide range of courses for persons majoring in Geography. Lower division offerings in physical geography and cultural geography introduce students to the discipline. Upper division offerings add diversity. Students can choose among regional classes on many parts of the Earth, topical classes on subjects from population to landforms, and skill classes that include map making, map reading, spatial analysis, remote sensing, geographic information systems, and fieldwork. Students majoring in Geography are encouraged to enroll in elective courses which are consistent with their particular geographical interests and concentrations. A minor in another academic field is not required, but it may be useful for some students to have a second specialization if they intend to pursue graduate studies or professional work in geography.

Geography- Study of the relationships among geographic areas, natural systems, societies, and cultural activities over the earth’s surface – key point: a spatial science. Geographic study: In this course, we are focusing on physical geography: the study of the spatial aspects of the physical elements and processes that make up the environment (air, weather, water, cliamte, landforms, soil, plants, anaimals) Key point: Form: physical characteristics of environmental phenomena P attern: the spatial distribution of forms Process: environmental mechanisms and reactions In this course, we will be examining and integrating the earth’s 4 spheres: 1) Atmosphere: the gaseous component of the earth’s environment (nitrogen, oxygen 2) Hydrosphere: that part of the earth comprised of water, including all three phases. 3) Lithosphere: earth’s crust and the top parts of the mantle (essentially the solid components of the earth) 4) Biosphere: the living components of the earth – formed where the conditions of the first three are such that the existence of life is allowed. Systems analysis: System: any ordered interrelated set of objects and their attributes that is separated from other systems by a boundary We can differentiate systems: Open systems: systems that allow the movement of energy or matter across the boundary Closed systems: a self-contained system that is closed off from outside inputs The Earth as a system: With respect to energy, the earth is an open system (flows of energy)

Time on the globe What is Physical Geography? 1. Fundamental questions of physical geography So, what is Physical/Environmental Geography about? If you think about the world we live in (the material aspect of the world, to be specific), you'll probably agree that it may be roughly divided into (1) things of natural origin, and (2) things of cultural origin, i.e. created by people. Natural things are also called physical (in the broad sense, meaning non-human) or environmental. One way to answer the question above physical geography is about the physical elements of our world: landforms, soils, rivers, air masses, ecosystems, and so on. The problem with this definition is that every major environmental phenomenon is also studied by its own respective branch of science. Indeed, as the table below shows, landforms are the subject of geomorphology, weather is studied by meteorology, oceans and rivers - by hydrology, etc. Physical Elements of the Environment Science Rocks Geology Landforms Geomorphology Soils Pedology Flora, Fauna

This module will provide students with the opportunity to extend their knowledge and skills of physical geography. The approach adopted is to demonstrate the complex and integrated nature of environmental systems through the examination the dynamic nature of environmental systems and how this is reflected in climate, landforms, ecosystems, oceans and human-environment interactions. The emphasis will be balanced between examination of processes and their results. Students will be introduced to the processes of rigorous scientific research. They will also gain experience in the application of a range of field and laboratory techniques. The module will provide a baseline of experience, which the students can call upon in future physical geography and earth science modules.
