This study is a bibliometric analysis of a highly complex research discipline, namely geography, in order to identify the most used and cited publication channels, to reveal publication strategies, and to analyse the discipline’s coverage in the three main data sources for citation analyses: Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar. The results show very heterogeneous and individual publicatio...

Using publicly available data on land use and transportation corridors we calculated the human footprint index for the whole of Mexico to identify large-scale spatial patterns in the anthropogenic transformation of the land surface. We developed a map of the human footprint for the whole country and identified the ecological regions that have most transformed by human action. Additionally, we a...

The paper describes one of the first attempts to create a multimedia manual in Romania. It talks about the creation process and shows the advantages of such an approach as opposed to regular printed material. Illustrations of the application are given and discussed.

Geography presents interesting and intricate trade-offs between empirical data and demands, on the one hand, and deep philosophical issues (from ontology to political philosophy), on the other. What is a geographic entity? What is the relationship between a geographic entity and a physical territory? Can a geographic entity survive without a territory or without definite borders? Can it survive...

Glacial reworking of paraglacial rock slope material has been inferred from long-deglaciated terrains to be an important component of glacial sediment transfer. We provide the first description from a contemporary glacial environment of the geomorphological consequences of glacier advance (of the Feegletscher Nord, Switzerland) across a paraglacial rock avalanche deposit. The landform-sediment ...

Henri Lefebvre famously seized upon the duality of the modern city: how for some it is a space of play and liberation, and for others a centre for power and repression. This article explores this duality through an analysis of the changing historical geography of Barcelona’s Raval district, an inner-city working-class community and the birthplace of Catalan industrialization. From the 1920s onw...

Currently, many African economies are growing more rapidly than they have for three decades. This is partly the result of high prices for commodity exports but also reflects deeper changes. The last time Africa enjoyed a commodity boom was in the mid-1970s. It was followed by a decade of unparalleled economic disaster. It is vital that Africa’s current opportunities for growth are not dissipate...

Medical geography was an abiding but at times peripheral concern of the medical art in nineteenth-century France. This article reviews selected works of the major medical geographers and examines the conditions of their emergence. Only mildly concerned with the values of cartographic precision, the article lays a foundation for future investigations into the subliminal geography of the medical ...
