Geography (GRP)
Section Information
Geography focuses on the spatial relationships, patterns, and processes that shape natural environments and human societies. It integrates physical, human, and environmental sciences to examine how landscapes evolve, how people interact with their surroundings, and how spatial dynamics influence social, economic, and ecological systems.
Modern research in geography includes climatology, geomorphology, biogeography, human–environment interactions, urban and regional studies, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, spatial analysis, and sustainability science. Advances in geospatial technologies, modeling, big data analytics, and interdisciplinary research continue to broaden the scope of geographic inquiry.
This section publishes empirical studies, spatial analyses, theoretical developments, case studies, and reviews addressing environmental processes, human geography themes, geospatial technologies, regional development, land-use change, and the interactions between physical and human systems.
