The Adventure of Geography At the heart of a geographer’s soul is a desire to explore and understand the world. The spirit of curiosity and adventure takes geographers into explorations of both the natural and social world. They seek to identify and explain patterns in the landscape, why phenomena occur where they do, and how processes unfold. As both a natural and social science, the discipline of geography is uniquely positioned to address questions that cross boundaries, such as how urbanization impacts river ecology, or how climate patterns affect people’s water availability. Combining analytical and pragmatic orientations, geographers address questions that are meaningful. LATEST NEWS:
