Physical Geography at Manitoba examines the natural and physical systems of the Earth including the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere (ice and snow), hydrosphere (water) and lithosphere (land surface).

Physical geographers also look at the connections between these systems, how they change over time and the implications of these changes.

  In the broadest sense, this is the study of the Earth's atmosphere (and other planetary atmospheres). 
• Geomatics
  Geomatics is an emerging field referring to the techniques of spatial data acquisition, handling and analysis.
• General physical geography
  Physical geography includes the study of the environment through aspects of atmospheric science, geomorphology, biogeography and hydrology.
