In our final episode of Crash Course Geography we're going to take a look towards the future, and to do that we'll need to revisit our fundamental geography tools: space, place, and human-environment interactions! We'll talk about the rise of the digital world and virtual spaces, the continued impacts of globalization and the Anthropocene, and even ponder new ideas like geoengineering. As we've said many times in this series the Earth is a beautifully dynamic place, and human innovation and our desire to claim and create our own places will continue to build new landscapes and futures. Thank you all so much for joining us on this journey across our extraordinary home planet!

Fabulous series, shame it's come to an end already. Alizé & the team have put together something informative & worthwhile & they should be immensely proud.

Thank YOU, Alizé, and everyone on the Crash Course team, for making this series. You are amazing <3

I can’t believe I was actually here for the start and end of a whole series. I’m truly saddened but I’m also so excited to see where this channel will go. I can’t wait for my kids to one day watch all these beautiful lessons that have taught me so much in such brief times. My wife’s major is geography, and what a wonderful little world of interwoven peoples from all over to bring these things together. From my little corner of the world to yours, thanks for the memories.

Thank you Alizé and the Crash Course team! I've been a geography nerd since elementary school, so it was awesome to have this series come out the year I turned 40.

Thank you.
Sadly, this geography series finished. This was my favorite, but I'll watch some again to understand more. Owing to this course, my comprehension about geography improved and I'm more curious about it. And I sometimes think things with these perspectives.
