ABSTRACT The Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Stellenbosch University boasts a long history of geography teaching and research. Notably, physical geography only gained traction in research only in the 1960s at Stellenbosch University and would again all but disappear from the research agenda of the department in the late 1990s and early 2000s, to be, in a sense, replaced by environmental geography. This continued until the mid 2010s, where efforts have been made to strengthen the sub-discipline once more. This paper attempts to trace the history and growth of physical and environmental geography in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, acknowledge the contributions made by individuals to the subject area and concludes by highlighting some implications for the future growth, teaching and research of physical and environmental geography.

对斯泰伦博斯大学 100 年地理学的反思：自然地理学和环境地理学的作用

摘要 斯泰伦博斯大学地理与环境研究系拥有悠久的地理教学和研究历史。值得注意的是，自然地理学仅在 1960 年代才在斯泰伦博斯大学的研究中受到关注，并且在 1990 年代末和 2000 年代初再次几乎从该系的研究议程中消失，在某种意义上被环境地理学所取代。这一直持续到 2010 年代中期，在那里再次努力加强子学科。本文试图追溯地理与环境研究系自然与环境地理学的历史和发展，承认个人对该学科领域的贡献，并通过强调对未来发展的一些影响作为结论，
