The word ‘geography’ means earth writing (geo-graphy) in two senses: writing about the earth and metaphorically, the ways societies inscribe themselves on the earth (e.g. by building cities). Geographers describe and explain the variable but interconnected character of the earth’s surface. Human Geography examines the ways people transform the physical environment and use it in various ways for diverse purposes. They also often seek to forecast and plan ahead to anticipate problems and provide solutions to pressing environmental and social issues like mass migration, urban sprawl and the conversion of biodiverse forest into farmlands.
