Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and <a href="/wiki/World" title="World">its human and natural complexities</a>—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be. While geography is specific to Earth, many <a href="/wiki/Concept" title="Concept">concepts</a> can be applied more broadly to other <a href="/wiki/Astronomical_object" title="Astronomical object">celestial bodies</a> in the field of <a href="/wiki/Planetary_science" title="Planetary science">planetary science</a>. Geography has been called "a bridge between <a href="/wiki/Natural_science" title="Natural science">natural science</a> and <a href="/wiki/Social_science" title="Social science">social science</a> disciplines." </p><p>Origins of many of the concepts in geography can be traced to Greek <a href="/wiki/Eratosthenes" title="Eratosthenes">Eratosthenes</a> of Cyrene, who may have coined the term "geographia" (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;">&#8201;276 BC</span>&#160;– c.<span style="white-space:nowrap;">&#8201;195/194 BC</span>). The first recorded use of the word <a href="/wiki/Geography_(Ptolemy)" title="Geography (Ptolemy)">γεωγραφία</a> was as the title of a book by Greek scholar <a href="/wiki/Claudius_Ptolemy" class="mw-redirect" title="Claudius Ptolemy">Claudius Ptolemy</a> (100 – 170 AD). This work created the so-called "Ptolemaic tradition" of geography, which included "Ptolemaic cartographic theory." However, the concepts of geography (such as <a href="/wiki/Cartography" title="Cartography">cartography</a>) date back to the earliest attempts to understand the world spatially, with the earliest example of an attempted world map dating to the 9th century BCE in ancient <a href="/wiki/Babylon" title="Babylon">Babylon</a>. The <a href="/wiki/History_of_geography" title="History of geography">history of geography</a> as a discipline spans cultures and millennia, being independently developed by multiple groups, and cross-pollinated by trade between these groups. The core concepts of geography consistent between all approaches are a focus on space, place, time, and scale. </p><p>Today, geography is an extremely broad discipline with multiple approaches and modalities. There have been multiple attempts to organize the discipline, including the four traditions of geography, and into branches. Techniques employed can generally be broken down into <a href="/wiki/Quantitative_geography" title="Quantitative geography">quantitative</a> and <a href="/wiki/Qualitative_geography" title="Qualitative geography">qualitative</a> approaches, with many studies taking <a href="/wiki/Mixed-methods_research" class="mw-redirect" title="Mixed-methods research">mixed-methods</a> approaches. Common techniques include <a href="/wiki/Cartography" title="Cartography">cartography</a>, <a href="/wiki/Remote_sensing" title="Remote sensing">remote sensing</a>, <a href="/wiki/Interview" title="Interview">interviews</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Surveying" title="Surveying">surveying</a>.

Left to right, top to bottom: Battles of Abensberg, Landshut, Eckmühl, Ratisbon, Aspern-Essling, Wagram The War of the Fifth Coalition was a European conflict in 1809 that was part of the Napoleonic Wars and the Coalition Wars. The main conflict took place in Central Europe between the Austrian Empire of Francis I and Napoleon&#39;s French Empire. The French were supported by their client states—the Kingdom of Italy, the Confederation of the Rhine and the Duchy of Warsaw. Austria was supported by the Fifth Coalition which included the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, and the Kingdoms of Sardinia and Sicily, although the latter two took no part in the fighting. By the start of 1809 much of the French army was committed to the Peninsular War against Britain, Spain and Portugal. After France withdrew 108,000 soldiers from Germany, Austria attacked France to seek the recovery of territories lost in the 1803–1806 War of the Third Coalition. The Austrians hoped Prussia would support them, having recently been defeated by France, but Prussia chose to remain neutral. On 10 April 1809, Austrian forces under Archduke Charles crossed the border of Bavaria, a French client state. The French response, under Louis-Alexandre Berthier, was disorganised but order was imposed with the arrival of Napoleon on 17 April. Napoleon led an advance to Landshut, hoping to cut off the Austrian line of retreat and sweep into their rear. Charles crossed the Danube at Regensburg, which allowed him to retreat eastwards, although he failed to reach the Austrian capital, Vienna, before the French. A French assault across the Danube was repulsed on 21–22 May at the Battle of Aspern-Essling but a repeat attack was successful in July. Napoleon won a major victory at the 5–6 July Battle of Wagram, which forced the Austrians to sign the Armistice of Znaim on 12 July. Austrian invasions of the Duchy of Warsaw and Saxony (where they fought alongside the Black Brunswickers) were repulsed and they were driven out of their territories in Italy. British forces landed in Walcheren, in the French client state of Holland, but were unable to seize their objective of capturing Antwerp and were later withdrawn.

New South Greenland, sometimes known as Morrell&#39;s Land, was an appearance of land recorded by the American captain Benjamin Morrell of the schooner Wasp in March 1823, during a sealing and exploration voyage in the Weddell Sea area of Antarctica. Morrell provided precise coordinates and a description of a coastline which he claimed to have sailed along for more than 300 miles (500&#160;km). Because the Weddell Sea area was so little visited and hard to navigate due to ice conditions, the alleged land was never properly investigated before its existence was emphatically disproven during Antarctic expeditions in the early 20th century. At the time of Morrell&#39;s voyage, the geography of the then-unnamed Weddell Sea and its surrounding coasts was almost entirely unknown, making the claimed sighting initially plausible. However, obvious errors in Morrell&#39;s voyage account and his general reputation as a fabulist created scepticism about the existence of this new land. In June 1912, the German explorer Wilhelm Filchner searched for but found no traces of land after his ship Deutschland became icebound in the Weddell Sea and drifted into the locality of Morrell&#39;s observation. A line sounding of the sea bottom revealed more than 5,000 feet (1,500&#160;m) of water, indicating no land in near proximity. Three years later, trapped in the same waters with his ship Endurance, Ernest Shackleton was able by similar means to confirm the land&#39;s implausibility.

In June 1912, the German explorer Wilhelm Filchner searched for but found no traces of land after his ship Deutschland became icebound in the Weddell Sea and drifted into the locality of Morrell&#39;s observation.
