    I swear this happens to every science meme group. Just devolves into general memes about anything. It’s especially bad when the only active mod is the one doing it.

  Is geography science? I thought it, especially the country side of it was politics

    Geography is definitely science.

    From Wikipedia:

    Geography is the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth. Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be.

      Yeah but this seems more like geopolitics, its about country borders not natural geography

        What I think you mean by “natural geography” is just one part of the field. Urban / economic geography (regional dynamics, housing policy, tourism geography, population analysis) and Historical / Social geography (historical urban geography, homelessness, migration, etc) Are big parts of the field of geography. Most of modern geography is interested in both the physical (more geology, climate, biomes, etc) and human aspects, and how they interact.

        Geopolitics is “The study of the relationship among politics and geography, demography, and economics, especially with respect to the foreign policy of a nation,” and in that vein is also a science.

    Where I went to university the geography faculty were part of the Earth Science department. It formed a really interdisciplinary department, there was work being done, for example, in “health geography” — applying population & ecological studies, community health research, and epidemiology to understand disparities. Urban geography like was mentioned strives to understand of the role of cities in regional, national, and international developments but also how cities operate through governance and administration, the role of philanthropic institutions and NGOs, gentrification etc.
