摘要: In their recent contribution to The Canadian Geographer, Ashmore and Dodson argue that physical geographers should look more into the study of urban landscapes, by engaging in an geography, even a critical could contribute existing body knowledge this epoch Anthropocene. authors cite climate research as example demonstrates engagement with areas. Physical geographer-climatologists are, fact, taking lead developing priorities for observing modeling weather cities, are deeply involved nexus climatology affiliated disciplines focusing on local global issues. A major stage scientific leadership may be traced legacy climatologists. movement geography take approach, it might some benefit learn about examples earlier current studying who have broadened activities related disciplinary fields, cases including political ecology.
