The research at the Department, which is one of the oldest at the Geography Faculty of Lviv University (founded in 1944) has been mainly connected during the last half-century with integrated physical-geographical studies of Western Ukraine, development of theoretical, methodical, and applied issues of landscape science. As a result, the Lviv school of landscape studies of Prof. K.I. Herenchuk was formed, as well as the school of mountain landscape studies of Prof. H.P. Miller. The research activities of the Department staff are based not only on the expeditionary field data, but also on the data collected at the field stations – the Roztocha Landscape-Geophysical Station (functions since 1968) and the Chornohora Geographical Station (functions since 1978). Key words: Department of Physical Geography, research activities, stationary observations, landscape science.
