5, professional introduction
(1) subject introduction
Physical geography is a subject that studies the composition, structure, spatial differentiation characteristics, formation, development and change of natural geographical environment, and the relationship between man and environment. In the discipline system of geography, physical geography and human geography belong to two disciplines of geography. As a course, physical geography is the core professional basic course of geography science, geography education and geography information system in colleges and universities. It is also one of the main basic courses for agronomy, forestry, environmental science, atmospheric science, geology and other related majors.
(2) Professional training objectives
Cultivate experts in research, education, planning and management with the scientific research ability of the earth's surface system, firm patriotism, noble moral quality, simple style and profound cultural quality.
Master's degree: master the basic theoretical knowledge, field work and experimental techniques of physical geography and related disciplines, understand the research trends in this field, and basically carry out research and teaching related to this discipline independently.
Doctor's degree: The winner of doctor's degree should master the basic theory of physical geography systematically, have extensive and solid foundation, field work ability and basic experimental operation technology, be familiar with the development history, present situation and latest trends of this discipline, and be able to independently undertake research topics and teaching work related to this discipline. The thesis should be the original research achievement of graduate students themselves, which requires important academic significance and high innovation.
