Geography of the Environment

Lake in Florida

Dr. Edmar Bernardes DaSilva (Masters in Geography and Doctor of Geography Education) 

What is Environmental Geography? Well, think this way: Environmental Geography and Natural Resources help us comprehend human kind manipulation of the natural world and the use of its natural resources by those same humans. The study of Environmental Geography teaches us how humans impact and modify the environment, and as well teaches solutions that can be used to control resources in a way that human kind will have them for years and years to come. Environmental Geography also teaches about politics and policies, news studies on environment conservation, and important issues from global warming, water resources and land degradation. Finally Environmental Geography teaches us to understand how natural resources have become a critical issue in local, regional, federal and international land use actions.


When you concentrate your studies on Environmental Geography you learn:
A: How to analyze environmental and resource use and impacts
B: About the policies and programs that take place in governmental spheres addressing environmental issues
C: How to use accessible technologies to create and present data and Findings.
