Antarctic ozone hole maximum size, 1979-2015. Ozone concentrations are colour-coded, with the purple and dark blue areas representing the lowest levels, constituting the "hole". The hole was first detected in mid 1970s, and was found to be due to chemical reactions between the atmosphere and chlorofluorcarbon gases (CFCs), which were widely used as refrigerants and propellants. CFCs were banned by the Montreal Protocol in 1987. The maximum extent of the hole was recorded in 2006. The measurements were made by NASA’s Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments, and by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), from 2004-present. Every year from 1979 to 2015 appears in this montage except 1995, for which there is no data.

Traditionally, geography is studied as two interconnected parts: physical geography and human geography. For the first half of this series, we will be focusing on physical geography, which is all about recognizing the characteristics of the environment and the processes that create, modify, and destroy those environments. But remember, human-environment interactions are fundamental to studying geography so we won't be ignoring human impact, it just won't be the primary lens we're using to view the world. Today, we'll explore erosional gullies in Madagascar as we discuss the world's dynamic landscape, the Great Barrier Reef as we introduce the four major earth system (the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere), and we'll finish with a deep dive into Iceland as we introduce the major realms of physical geography. (These are geographer specializations that you may have heard about like topography, geomorphology, pedology, hydrology, climatology, oceanography, meteorology, and biogeography.)

Cyanobacteria bloom in a lake
produced by Science Photo Library (London, England: Science Photo Library, 2014), 29 secs
Bloom of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) at the edge of a lake. Blooms such as this may be caused by fertiliser runoff. Some cyanobacteria produce toxic chemicals, and such blooms can severely impact other life in the lake.
