The study of how humans interact with and impact the environment.

Natural Environment: Covers topics such as the physical environment, ecosystems, biodiversity, climate change, natural hazards, and their interactions.
Human Environment: Covers topics such as population growth, urbanization, consumption patterns, resource depletion, environmental degradation, and pollution.
Environmental Management: Covers topics such as environmental policy, governance, stakeholder engagement, sustainable development, and corporate social responsibility.
Environmental Justice: Covers topics such as environmental racism, unequal distribution of environmental benefits and burdens, indigenous rights, and social movements.
Environmental Health: Covers topics such as toxins, carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, infectious diseases, food safety, and occupational health.
Energy and Resources: Covers topics such as renewable and non-renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, water resources, land use, and waste management.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Covers topics such as spatial analysis, mapping, remote sensing, data management, and geospatial software.
Environmental Economics: Covers topics such as cost-benefit analysis, market failures, ecosystem services, valuation methods, and environmental policy instruments.
Environmental Ethics: Covers topics such as environmental values, environmental philosophy, environmental theology, animal rights, and moral dilemmas.
Environmental History: Covers topics such as human-environment interactions throughout history, environmental impacts of colonization, and environmental movements.
"Integrated geography (also referred to as integrative geography, environmental geography or human–environment geography) is where the branches of human geography and physical geography overlap to describes and explain the spatial aspects of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment, these interactions being called coupled human–environment system."
"It is the point where human geography and physical geography intersect, allowing for the study of spatial aspects of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
"Integrated geography is also referred to as integrative geography, environmental geography or human–environment geography."
"It describes and explains the spatial aspects of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
"The key components are the branches of human geography and physical geography."
"These interactions are termed coupled human–environment system."
"Integrated geography explores the spatial aspects of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
"The term 'coupled human–environment system' refers to the interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
"Integrated geography studies the spatial aspects of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
"The branches of human geography and physical geography overlap in integrated geography."
"It allows for the study of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment, describing and explaining the spatial aspects of these interactions."
"The purpose is to understand the interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment, enhancing our knowledge of the coupled human–environment system."
"Integrated geography aims to explore and understand how human individuals or societies interact with their natural environment."
"The focus of integrated geography is on the spatial aspects of interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
"Integrative geography is the term used to describe the overlap between human geography and physical geography, enabling the study of coupled human–environment systems."
"By exploring the interactions between humans and their natural environment, integrated geography offers insights into human behavior in relation to the spatial aspects of these interactions."
"The components of the coupled human–environment system include human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
"By analyzing the spatial aspects of interactions, integrated geography helps in understanding the social and environmental issues arising from the coupled human–environment system."
"The term 'integrated' in integrated geography signifies the intersection and synthesis of human geography and physical geography."
"Environmental geography is one of the names used interchangeably with integrated geography, emphasizing the focus on the interactions between human individuals or societies and their natural environment."
