Physical Geography

In physical geography, we study the Earth's natural processes and how they shape the landscape and environment around us.

Description

We study mountains, valleys, rivers, coasts and climatic conditions to understand how they interact and create different types of ecosystems. Physical geographers also investigate how humans influence and are influenced by nature, for example through agriculture, urban development and natural disasters. By understanding physical geography, we can better plan and manage our resources, protect the environment and create sustainable communities that live in harmony with nature.

We combine field observations, data analysis and numerical modelling to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses.
