They consider the new approaches physical geographers may engage further in #personalised and #InternetOfThings monitoring, artificial intelligence #AI, innovative technologies for teaching physical geography, the study of #HumanClimate impacts

New submissions, or proposals for special issues, that address these topics from physical geographers and their colleagues are welcome to PiPG journal.

#2024Issue1 #ResearchArticle Shi et al. evaluated #urban #development #suitability through #geographic information, by calculating ecosystem service value, #ecological environmental #sensitivity and #landscape ecological risk index. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

#2024Issue1 #ResearchArticle Spatial analysis of the relationships between #landslide and #VegetationRichness using #RandomForest classification methods - A case study in Hida Mountains, #Japan by Sadao Takaoka journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Maximum snow depth, and the area of landslide scarps were demonstrated as the dominant factors for vegetation establishment

#2024Issue1 #ResearchArticle A comparison of stone dust, granite dust, marble dust, and #calcium #lignosulphonate (CLS) on #construction materials and natural soils for #RoadConstruction. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Chiranjeevi, Singh and Kishan from MANIT Bhopal proved the feasibility of using CLS as a potential substitute for natural soils

Progress in Physical Geography #PiPG April Issue in #2024 is out now, #eight papers including an editorial piece about the history of our journal, research articles about remote sensing application in agricultural and NPP, sediment in lake, desert and mountains etc.

#3 As a hub for scholars to critically assess the present and future of #physicalgeography, PiPG's focus has been and continues to be characterizing and contextualizing Earth system dynamics and "#human-#environmental #interactions" through the advancement of physical geography.

#ResearchArticle #Stacking regression as a method to monitor #agricultural #drought in winter, using #MODIS Reflectance, LST, ET, PET, NDVI, Precipitation, and wheat planting map as input parameters to generate drought map in eastern China

#TechnicalPaper The #magnitude rule in #geoheritage site inventories - a hypothesis of systematic reference to conception of the sense of degree of development and #physical #prominence journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

#2 Nicolas Ferrer (iocag.ulpgc.es/people/nicolas…) et al. demonstrated a study case in #Canary islands, discussed why and how the magnitude parameter might be a #subliminal #non-explicit driver in the #evaluation of #geosite relevance.

#LastestPaper #Review Jonathan Ocón and Natasha Stavros Dr. Natasha Stavros (she/her) et al. reviewed 25 research articles in tree species identification using satellite imagery, their study 1) examined the state-of-the-art platforms and dataset for deriving tree metrics journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

2) compared the image classification methodologies using multiple remote sensing dataset; 3) identified future advances and applications of remote sensing for urban tree identification

#LastestPaper #ResearchArticle Shilong Guo and Duo Wu et al. demonstrated an eco-environmental analysis of #sediment record between #1100-2000CE from the Lake #Maozangtianchi, western China, using #geochemistry methods journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

#LatestPaper #Researchpaper #Iran's ecological and environmental conditions alarmed observers, dams and inter-basin transfer projects resulted in #deforestation, #desertification, water pollution and drying up of wetlands and lakes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

Dr. Allan Hassaniyan Allan Hassaniyan introduced the imbalanced water resource allocation in #Iran, criticized the ignoration of water security from Iranian government during the industrial development, link #waterstress to #environmental #racism.

He evaluated the current water policy in Iran, and argued that the controversial and expensive hydro-infrastructures cannot be the solution to address the national water storage, but leading to additional ecological devastation, intercommunal conflict and confrontation.
