Environmental geography is the branch of geography that describes the
spatial aspects of interactions between humans and the natural world. It
requires an understanding of the traditional aspects of physical and
human geography, as well as the ways in which human societies
conceptualize the environment.
Environmental geography has emerged as a bridge between human and
physical geography as a result of the increasing specialisation of the
two sub-fields. Furthermore, as human relationship with the environment
has changed as a result of globalization and technological change a new
approach was needed to understand the changing and dynamic relationship.
Examples of areas of research in environmental geography include
emergency management, environmental management, sustainability, and
political ecology
