Community Info

Welcome to r/geography!

Geography is the study of the earth and its features, inhabitants, and phenomena, and goes far beyond simple location identifications on a map or general trivial information such as capitol and country names.

Geographers have a special understanding about the Earth and global systems and use analytical skills and applied methods to answer questions about human and physical phenomena. In short, geographers are particularly good at determining the "Why of Where."

Submission Guidelines

Please read the rules before posting!

Discussions of all branches and scales of geography are highly encouraged! If you have a question, no matter how basic or complex, ask away.

Assigning a post flair is required.

Links to original sources are preferred.

Please do not re-host images or maps at imgur or similar sites. Re-hosting prevents the author(s) from getting the recognition they deserve. It also prevents us, the reader, from seeing the context and background information the image was published in.

Original work is welcome. If you've created a map using real-world data, or written an article or blog post etc, please share. Note that fictitious maps and graphics will be removed.

For geoguessing and challenges, see r/geoguessr, r/geoguessing, r/guessthecity, and r/WWTT

For memes and jokes, see r/GeoMemes and r/planningmemes

For everything related to flags, see r/vexillology
