It's a social science, but incorporates much of the natural sciences and is often considered a holistic science.

By most contemporary definitions geography is the study of processes that connect a phenomenon to a spatial element on earth as they relate to the human experience.

The human experience part makes it a social science, but the phenomenon can be natural (physical or biological) or social.

Some geographers lean more heavily towards the natural sciences than others. For example in remote sensing, environmental ecology, pedology, geomorphology and climatology. But, within geography these subfields eventually will lead back to Social Sciences because the reason for studying these topics somehow impacts humans. When these topics are studied without an interest in humanity they tend fall more in the natural/physical sciences such as Biology, geology, or computer science/engineering than geography.
