Anthropogeographer

/ˌænθroʊpoʊdʒiˈɒɡrəfər/ noun

Definition

A scholar who studies the relationship between human societies and their geographical environments.

Etymology

From Greek 'anthropos' (human) + 'geo' (earth) + 'grapher' (one who describes). This combines human and earth sciences into a single discipline.

Kelly Says

An anthropogeographer might explain why cities develop near rivers or why certain cultures thrive in mountains—they connect human culture directly to the landscape.
