What is Physical Geography?

What is Physical Geography?
Physical Geography examines the natural processes that shape our planet, exploring climates, soils, water bodies, landforms, vegetation, and their interactions. It seeks to understand Earth’s functioning and the impacts of climate change, providing essential knowledge for managing territory and addressing environmental challenges.
At UdeC Geography, our Physical Geography faculty focuses on a wide range of research topics, including soil erosion, landslides, river hydrology, mountain environments, and atmospheric processes.
