The Appreciation of Landscape in Modern Physical Geography
Keywords:
landscape, physical geography, studyAbstract
The purpose of this essay is to explain the relevance of an appreciation of landscape in physical geography. It begins, with introductory remarks on what we mean by 'landscape' in physical geography and then argues for the need to study the processes that produce landscape, as opposed to the descriptive approach of nineteenth century physical geography.
