- evaluates a wide range of geographic sources in an
integrated format
- explains complex spatial and ecological relationships
and processes, establishing cause byproviding details
of multiple links
- applies detailed geographic knowledge and understanding
from a variety of case studies at arange of scales
- evaluates ecological issues and human responses using
appropriate, diverse criteria such associoeconomic and
political factors
- integrates sample studies, statistical trends, geographic
models and theoretical perspectives,providing evidence
of wide reading
- initiates, plans and implements geographic research
and problem solving, including fieldwork, ina highly
organised manner
- efficiently communicates in written form characterised
by use of appropriate text types,application of precise
and abstract geographic terms and the use of complex
graphic forms
