B.A. GEOGRAPHY A Geography major prepares students for employment in planning, marketing, research, real estate development, or other careers that involve making location decisions, collecting and analyzing spatial data about places on Earth, and generally using the data to solve problems. An option in the major permits students to pre p are for employment in high-tech sub fields of geography that involve computer mapping, remote sensing, and the use of Geographic Information Systems. Geography majors gain knowledge about physical geography weather, climate, landforms, soils, and vegetation. Majors also learn about human geography human roles in shaping urban, economic and other cultural patterns in the landscape. Students also develop specialized skills in cartography, aerial photographic interpretation, and other geographic techniques. Program Objectives (approved 1991) Students are expected to ... observe, analyze, and organize geographic knowledge using a global systems approach acquire, through physical geography courses, knowledge about weather, climate, natural vegetation, soils, and landforms, as well as knowledge about the processes that operate within and among these systems

Geography 1 Physical Geography Spring 1997 Time: Section 1 (#16433) MWF 8:30 - 9:20 Location: Business Classroom Building Room 212 (BC 212) Instructor: Dr. Dave Helgren Office: Washington Square Hall 118 Office Hours: 10:30 - 11:20 MWF and by appointment. e-mail: helgren@ix.netcom.com CLASS PURPOSE AND GOALS The purpose of this class is to provide an introductory framework for understanding the geography of our atmospheric, geological, and biological environments. This is physical geography, the locational and ecological analysis of the atmospheric, geophysical and biological processes that give character to the world's natural and human-modified landscapes. Readings and lectures will focus on four related themes. The first is developing a map / spatial understanding of our physical environment. The second is developing an understanding of the atmospheric processes and their variation above the earth's surface. The third is developing an understanding of landforming processes and their variation on a worldwide basis. And the fourth is developing an understanding of the dynamics of vegetation - soil systems and their global geography. The geography of human impacts on the natural environment will be explored throughout the course. By the end of the class students should have a basic understanding of physical geography. They should be able to place the key elements of the natural environment in their geographic contexts. And they should have an appreciation of the key environmental concerns in our world's immediate future. The class is an introductory, first course in geography required for the geography major. The class does not assume any prior geographical training, and it will be taught on an introductory, undergraduate level. However . . . it is required for geography majors.

Geography (GEOG) Dept Home Geography courses are grouped into logical categories based on emphasis and content. Geography courses that may be taken without prerequisite are GEOG 1, 2, 3, 52 and 92. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY 1. GLOBAL PATTERNS: CLIMATE, VEGETATION SOILS AND LANDFORMS 4 hrs. A holistic study of Earth's unique physical environment. The various aspects of weather, climate, water, landforms, soils and vegetation are examined. The impact of humans on the physical environment, and the effects of the physical environment on humans, are addressed. A weekly two-hour laboratory emphasizing practical map, aerial photograph, satellite imagery and computer analysis is required. No prereq. 112. GEOMORPHOLOGY 3 hrs. An in-depth examination of the landforms of the Earth and the processes and factors that create them. Landforms related to folding, faulting, volcanism, weathering, mass movements, flowing water, glaciers, wind, waves and currents are examined. Practical applications involve field trips and map and aerial photograph interpretation. Prereq.: GEOG 1 or GEOL 1. 113. WEATHER AND CLIMATE 3 hrs.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND GEOGRAPHY Environmental Studies challenges students to acquire and utilise the skills necessary to create and maintain a sustainable environment.  It is not only relevant to personal experience but also to the future of the earth.  Students gain a broad understanding of the environment, its attributes and resources, the impact humans have on it and practical solutions to environmental problems. Likewise, the Geography program provides students with a strong foundation in both physical and human geography.  Students gain a broad understanding of the processes involved in the evolution of landforms and they explore human populations and their effect on the physical environment. Both disciplines prepare students for employment in the resource and conservation management field, government and education settings, and a range of private sector occupations related to this field. School of Environmental Management The School of Environmental Management is located in the College of Business because at the University of Notre Dame we believe that the environmental problems confronting society will not be solved until concern for the environment is fully integrated into business practice.
