Study your minor in Geography at King's

"Where is it?" "Why is it there?" "How does it relate to other locations?" Geography seeks to understand the distribution of human civilization and the locations of landscapes and features on the earth's surface. 

Inside this program

Marvel At Incredible Landscapes

Study the origins of Earth's geological and hydrological systems and how they influence landforms, vegetation, and climate. God has patiently carved the physical landscape over billions of years into the creation we enjoy today.

Understand Why People Live Where They Do

Geographic realities impact how and where humans have chosen to settle—the locations of our cities, and the industries we have established in those areas. Humans have also impacted the natural landscape through our use of the land. As a geography minor, you'll explore these responsive, interconnected relationships 

Explore Geography By Visiting It

Take field trips across Alberta, work with maps and instruments in King's Geography lab, and use computer applications and GIS to better understand the composition of an environment.

Research Profiles

The Landscape of Faith-Based Environmental Engagement in Canada Joanne Moyer Natural & Computing Science

Faith communities are increasingly recognized as an important component of civil society that can contribute to addressing difficult sustainability and environmental problems. This paper traces the evolution of environmental engagement among a diverse, multi-faith group of communities, beginning with the entry into environmental work by some groups in the 1960s and 1970s. The paper also analyses contemporary activities, which can be divided into formation activities, advocacy and activism, and practical actions.

Moving to Next Generation Community-Based Environmental Assessment Harry Spaling Humanities & Social Sciences

Undertaking environmental assessments for small, rural development projects has proven to be both vexing and essential. Our research considers one approach to assessing such projects, community-based environmental assessment (CBEA). The purpose of our work was to gauge current CBEA practice and consider next generation approaches in the face of challenges such as lack of adequate capacity, resource and power imbalances, achieving meaningful participation, narrow conceptions of sustainability, and weak follow-up and monitoring.
