Progress in Physical Geography publishes research on the dynamics of Earth's physical systems and their interactions with human activities. Recent articles focus on environmental change, including glacier retreat, eutrophication, and forest disturbances, often utilizing remote sensing and hydrological modeling. The journal also explores theoretical frameworks for understanding human-nature relationships and the geomorphological impacts of both natural processes and human interventions.
