Geography is the study of the cultural and physical features of the earth's surface and the relations between them. Dating back to ancient Greece, it is arguably humankinds' oldest disciplinary tradition. Today it is one of the most diverse fields of inquiry in the human sciences.

Geographers are tantalized by questions such as: "How are mountain landscapes created?", "Why does climate vary?", "How have the major religions spread throughout the world?", "Why does the pattern of agricultural activity differ from one region to another?", and "How does globalization affect the lives of peoples at home and abroad?".  These questions appear quite diverse, but it is through geography that we can seek and discover underlying order and meaning in this diversity.  To this end geographers not only analyze elements of the human and physical environments to develop an awareness of the character of peoples, regions and places, but  synthesize from those the larger processes and dynamics of human and environmental interactions at local, medium and large scales.  Whatever you want you can probably find it somewhere in geography.
