Environmental Geography

About this course

Environmental geography sits at the interface between the physical sciences and the social sciences, addressing the relationships between natural environments and human societies with both empirical rigour and conceptual depth. It asks how climate, hydrology, geomorphology and ecology shape the conditions in which human communities live, and how human activities in turn alter, degrade and sometimes restore natural systems. Climate change, sea-level rise, flooding, drought, soil degradation and biodiversity loss are all questions that environmental geography is centrally placed to investigate, making the discipline both academically rich and practically urgent. At the University of Stirling you will develop expertise across the range of environmental geography, studying physical processes and systems alongside human dimensions including environmental policy, sustainability, resource mana
