Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Southeastern Geographer publishes research on environmental justice, urban expansion and its hydrological impacts, and the interplay of human activities with unique regional geographies. Articles examine sustainability initiatives within specific industries, ecological processes like sea turtle nesting and CO2 degassing, and climate patterns such as drought frequency and summer convection regimes. The journal also addresses the disproportionate impacts of climate change and natural disasters on Black communities and the spatial distribution of correctional facilities in relation to environmental risks.
