Unit 1: Physical geography: • Water and carbon cycles - contemplate the magnitude and significance of the cycles at a variety of scales, their relevance to wider geography and their central importance for human populations. • Coastal systems and landscapes - study the dynamic environments in which landscapes develop by the interaction of winds, waves, currents and terrestrial and marine sediments. • Hazards - focus on the lithosphere and the atmosphere, which intermittently but regularly present hazards to human populations, often in dramatic and sometimes catastrophic fashion. Unit 2: Human Geography: • Global systems and global governance - a focus on globalisation - the economic, political and social changes associated with technological and other driving forces which have been a key feature of global economy and society in recent decades. • Changing Places - focus on people’s engagement with places and their experiences of them. • Population and environment - examines how population growth and change impact on the environment and vice versa, and considers the impact of economic development and changing lifestyle. Unit 3: Geographical Investigation: You will complete a 3000-4000 word invididual investigation which must include data collected in the field. The investigation must be based on a question or issue defined and developed by you relating to any part of the specification content. Students have to complete a minimum of four days field work as part of the course.
