Welcome to the companion website for Introduction to Physical Geography by Pete Morris!

This website is an integral part of the class. Here you will find a complete set of lecture notes which, along with the textbook, all students are expected to read. By having these notes online, we will be able to concentrate our limited time in class on clarifying and discussing key concepts and illustrating those concepts with examples from around the world. In addition, this site provides a complete set of downloadable class handouts and an instructor's blog for class news and announcements.
