Progress in Environmental Geography
Progress in Environmental Geography aspires to be the peer-review journal of choice for those wanting to know about the state of the art in all areas of environmental geography research – philosophical, theoretical, thematic, methodological and empirical. Concerned primarily with critical reviews of current research, PEG will enable a space for debate about questions, concepts and findings of formative influence in environmental geography. It welcomes contributions from diverse authors (e.g., across disciplines, geography, career stage, etc.) and encourages collaborative, inter- and intra-disciplinary, and multi-authored submissions.
Progress in Environmental Geography will be published in four issues per year and continuously in electronic format in Online First. It will publish perspectives papers and progress reports. Perspectives papers involve major reviews of work in environmental geography and related fields. Perspective papers (up to 8000 words) of relevance to the journal are submitted and reviewed in the conventional manner. Additional resources may be published electronically as supplements to published perspective papers. Progress reports (up to 4000 words) are commissioned by the editors to provide critical summaries of work in key fields of environmental geography.
Environmental geography is an exciting and creative meeting ground for advanced inquiry on the interactions between people and their environments, both natural and built. This well-established field at the intersection of human and physical geography has become particularly prominent with rising awareness of human influence on the Earth locally, regionally, and globally.
Environmental geography highlights the inseparability of social and natural processes and offers unique and fundamental insights on the varied causes and consequences of environmental change and on efforts to mitigate and adapt to it. The field also emphasizes questions of power and justice. It is concerned with the differential responsibilities for environmental change, unequal vulnerabilities among both humans and nonhumans, and the politics of producing knowledge about such change.
Environmental Geography addresses material processes, relationships and forms (both physical and societal). It focuses on meanings and representations across a range of spatial and temporal scales—from the microbial to the planetary, and from the short to the long term. This burgeoning field employs a great diversity of conceptual and methodological approaches to investigate the full range of human-environment dynamics.
