Description
UVic Geography is taught in four areas: biophysical systems, human geography and development, geomatics, and environment and sustainability. Geography is literally “the study of the world,” examining the complex and fascinating physical and social make-up of the planet. Through a spatial perspective, Geographers grapple with and seek solutions to the most important challenges we face such as: climate change, natural hazards, globalization, urbanization, sustainability, Indigenous rights, and social justice.
