Student goals and capabilities

This experience focuses on the foundational concepts of Physical Geography, emphasizing the understanding of spatial processes affecting the Earth's surface. Learners will have a grasp of the interactions between the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. They will be equipped to apply this knowledge to analyze environmental patterns, assess natural resource distribution, and evaluate ecological impacts. This understanding can be directly applied to projects that require environmental assessments, resource management strategies, or sustainability evaluations.
