[Course] EV486 [Title] ENVIRONMENTAL GEOGRAPHY [Crdts] 3 [Department] Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering [Scope] 
Whereas physical geographers focus on the earth's surface and atmosphere, and human geographers concentrate on the spatial aspect of human activities, environmental geographers are interested in both how people adapt to specific environments and how they alter those environments through human activities. To understand these interactions and their implications, environmental geographers must fully appreciate natural processes and landform development within and on the surface of the Earth, as well as the implications of human intervention in the natural system.
