This unit provides a foundational introduction to some of the key perspectives and skills used in human and physical geography. The unit comprises two elements: Geographical Concepts and Field Skills and Tutorial Work. Geographical Concepts provides an introduction to the nature and history of Geography as an intellectual enterprise, examining both the earlier history and recent developments, as a basis for understanding developments in both human and physical geography. Field skills needed in Physical Geography are introduced and applied in a 3-day field course.
