The physical geography program examines the interaction between humans and nature, and allows students to see how this interaction modifies our landscape, region, planet and environment. Students learn to understand climate change and resource management while acquiring practical skills in geomorphology, geology, physical geography and human geography. They are also taught aerial photography, remote sensing, computer science, image treatment and geographic information systems (GIS). Graduates of the program can earn professional certification in environmental geoscience from the Association of Geoscientists of Ontario.
