Definition

  • The study of human valuation and use of Earth's materials lies at the core of the modern discipline of geography. Indeed, investigation into the character, production, and distribution of natural resources might be said to be a quintessential pursuit for a discipline that has in large part been fashioned on the relationships between humans and their environment.
