Find out about the physical processes that continuously shape our Earth—like oceans and glaciers, natural hazards and climate change. Understand the relationships between different earth system processes, and the ways that these can affect economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

You'll study the environment, water, glaciers, and the climate and climate change. You'll also learn about techniques for geographical analysis (GIS), natural hazards and coastal and land management.

You'll reinforce what you learn in the classroom through labs and get out and about with fieldwork.

If you're interested in the processes that are making and remaking the Earth—and want to study close to some of New Zealand's most unique geographic features—then study Physical Geography.
