Undergraduate Courses Geography
15* Surrey of Geography This one term course presents a general review of the field of geography, its scope, approach, and basic concepts. The primary aim is to provide the student with background material, readings, resources 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; urban growth and land use planning.
GEOG 100Introduction to An ecosystem approach to physical geography is employed which em-
Physical Geography phasizes that man’s natural environment is an integrated system of which man is part. A systems approach is used to study selected aspects of weather and climate, soils, biogeography, and landforms. Stress is placed on the flows of energy, water and materials and the resultant effects on the subsystems of the natural environment. No Prerequisite. 2 lectures, 2 hours lab for Honours Geography and Honours Planning students and Geography Majors; other students will replace lab with a one-hour discussion session. (Given in winter term and normally follows Geography 101*.)
GEOG 101Introduction to An introduction to the discipline of geography with an emphasis on its
Human Geography conceptual framework, its relationship to other disciplines; and its appli-
