Geography is the study of the Earth's surface, and of the spatial distribution and patterns of its physical and human characteristics. Geographers study how natural and cultural processes work to create distinct spaces, places, landscapes, and regions.

State lines are one way to picture the US, but natural history provides another – one that shows the ancient and living connections running across the landscape.

NEW!! Online Course - Fall 2026

BORDERS

Borders are instrumental to our daily lives: they connect, divide, reorient, prohibit and facilitate relations in society, in politics, and in the economy. They are often associated with violence and instability (as on the US-Mexico border), and remain at the heart of many of our contemporary debates. This course introduces some of the ways that geographers and other scholars have conceptualised borders, and will equip students with the analytical and theoretical tools to identify and critique the many ways that borders shape the world around them.

But Downtown Halifax has almost no trees except along the waterfront.Screen capture from urban trees of Halifax. It shows Spryfield and regions, and it is clear that the trees are different, with mostly callery pears, pines and birches (compared to oaks, elms and maples in across the Northwest Arm.)
