Researching environmental conflicts can be a challenging ethnographic endeavor, especially when their causes are influenced (in)directly by illicit stakeholders and activities. In this article we e...

Existing regionalization methods have largely overlooked the temporal dimension, leading to outcomes that predominantly reflect spatial differentiation of regional variables only at a singular temp...

Relatively little scholarly attention has been given to incorporating geographic principles into investigations of behavioral health intervention efficacy—where, and why, a behavioral health interv...

Three-dimensional (3D) geospatial object detection has become essential for 3D geospatial studies driven by explosive growth in 3D data. It is extremely labor- and cost-intensive, though, as it oft...

A fundamental challenge in geospatial data science is to determine how a property, or its characterization, changes with a change in the scale of measurement. Except for geostatistical regularizati...

In 2017 El Niño Costero devastated the northern coast of Peru. This article seeks to learn from this experience for future large central and eastern Pacific-driven El Niño events. It directs attent...

The development of a digital social credit system in China has sparked debates around urban governance and citizenship performance. Although China’s social credit system is portrayed as a single te...

Since the end of apartheid, life in South Africa has been marked by an epidemic of death among the youth—people between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five. First as a result of HIV/AIDS and politi...

The concept of the Plantationocene has received increasing interest in recent years across a variety of academic fields. This article introduces a forum in which seven scholars debate the relevance...

With the increasing prevalence and social impacts of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), innovative approaches to our understanding of its etiology, progression, and potential interventions are critical. Geo...

Renewable energy, particularly solar power, is clean, cost-effective, and virtually limitless, making it an essential source of energy for developing countries. In the Kurdistan region, however, de...

This article outlines the social, political, and environmental conditions under which states engage in strategic agricultural development along desert borders and what these developments achieve fo...

Aging in place has become a popularly accepted logic and practice in both the academic and policy domains. Older adults’ preferred facilities and social networks, however, might not always be situa...

Contemporary discourses of net-zero decarbonization (also referred to as carbon neutrality) routinely overlook the landscape transformations required to offset carbon emissions. Conventional analys...

Population density and size are the most commonly used metrics for defining modern cities and urbanism. Yet unlike size, density has been overlooked in systematic analyses of the historical develop...

Few studies have investigated how older people’s daily activities and characteristics of the surrounding urban environment affect their emotions and daily satisfaction. This study fills the researc...

GeoAI has emerged as an exciting interdisciplinary research area that combines spatial theories and data with cutting-edge AI models to address geospatial problems in a novel, data-driven manner. A...
