The primary aim is to provide the student with background, material, readings, sources and ideas against which major political developments, international economic relationships, and current problems of the commonwealth and underdeveloped areas may be viewed. Course topics include: the development and character of modern geography: fundamentals of physiography; population patterns and problems: resources. economic growth and industrialization: the geographic bases of political patterns and events; and urban growth and land use planning.
GEOG 100Introductory Physical and Cultural Geography
This course is designed to introduce the student to the field of modern geography, its methods, concepts, materials and point of view. A major part of the course is devoted
to a systematic examination of the elements of the natural environment, (including landforms, weather, and climate), and their distribution and significance in the human habitat. Selected aspects of economic and political geography are then considered. Note: Geography 100, or its equivalent, is normally a prerequisite for other courses in geography.
Advanced study of the elements of climate and weather. Analysis of world climatic and weather patterns. Effects of climate on man’s activities and on distribution of natural vegetation and soils. Weather forecasting. Applied climatology.
2 lectures, 2 hours laboratory. (Half course, given in spring term).
This course studies in depth selected areas of the world’s climatic regions, emphasizing characteristic problems of these regions as well as their physical, cultural, and economic interrelationships. Amongst the many factors which are discussed are the utilization of natural resources, the effects of increasing population density, the occupance and utilization of urban and rural land, and the effects of man’s tools, techniques, and institutions on the earth’s surface.
