Descriptive climatology describes the climates of the world. Climatology is the study of climate and how it changes over time. This science helps people better understand the atmospheric conditions that cause weather patterns and temperature changes over time. This fundamental aspect of the behavior of the climate system can have major societal impacts, and also makes it difficult to exactly project the impact that humans are currently having on climate. The aim of this course is to review the nature of the climate system and why it varies over time, emphasizing those variations that make one year different from another, as well as those that have taken place over decades, centuries and millennia.

Hydrology is the science of water occurrence, movement and transport in nature. It gives weight toward the study of water in the Earth and is concerned with local circulations related to the atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere leading to water movement, distribution, quality, and environmental aspects. Hydrogeologists play an important role in management and conservation of water systems and resources. They play a key role in ensuring the safe, sustainable and environmentally sound management of natural and domestic water resources.

Transport represents one of the most important human activities worldwide as it allows us to mitigate the constraint of geography. It is an indispensable component of the economy and plays a major role in supporting spatial relations between locations. After this lesson, students will be able to describe, in detail, past forms of transportation and identify several modern forms of transportation, and decide which is best for specific situations.

Spatial analysis allows you to solve complex location-oriented problems and better understand where and what is occurring in your world. It goes beyond mere mapping to let you study the characteristics of places and the relationships between them. Spatial analysis allows you to solve complex location-oriented problems, explore and understand your data from a geographic perspective, determine relationships, detect and quantify patterns, assess trends, and make predictions and decisions.

Tourism geography studies the relations between places, landscapes and people, describing travel and tourism as an economic, social and cultural activity. More concisely, it is all about the spatial and temporal dynamics, as well as the interactions between the tourism resources. The course aims to approach the geographical knowledge of the world with the essential aim of helping students understand the context where tourism occurs.
