Geographers perform a variety of jobs related to our environment and society. Geography is an interdisciplinary field of science based on knowledge in many fields, and geographers therefore often collaborate with scientists in related disciplines such as physics, geology, meteorology, sociology and economics.
As a geographer, you could work in many areas; conducting research and consulting on land use and nature conservation, handling the design and operation of geographical information systems as well as mapping, teaching at any school level or work in tourism or media.
Geographers often specialize in a specific field within the discipline, such as urban or rural geography, economic geography, land use, mapping, environmental issues, tourism or in the field of settlement and business planning.
