“…We seek to further the notion that scientific research in physical geography can contribute to globally important political questions at the intersection of political economic systems and biophysical processes (Engel-Di Mauro 2022). Critical physical geography offers such a path forward for integrated scholarship on climate change (Colven and Thomson 2019;Goudie 2017;Hedberg et al 2017).…”

“…We build upon what Castree (2012) terms “engaged pluralism,” geography's “radical intradisciplinary potential” (Domosh 2017), and where Allen and Akpinar-Elci (2016) explain the need for “deeper, more meaningful relationships … within the research community” and that “disciplines must serve as lenses by which we view and interpret the world rather than barriers to progress.” We seek to further the notion that scientific research in physical geography can contribute to globally important political questions at the intersection of political economic systems and biophysical processes (Engel-Di Mauro 2022).

The material condition of the earth's atmosphere exerts a significant influence on how humans live and die. Therefore, understanding how and why atmospheric processes unevenly impact communities, because of the changing material condition of air, provides an opportunity to address current and future climate risks through interdisciplinary perspectives. Using critical physical geography as a framework, this review provides perspective on how physical geographers may interact more closely with human geographers in addressing social-environmental issues related to the state of the earth's atmosphere and climate, and related processes in other earth systems. Climatic and atmospheric variability and change disproportionately impact populations already disadvantaged within this capitalist social formation. Using labor policy, flooding, wildfires, and incarceration as materially grounded examples where atmospheric inequities are experienced by everyday people, we demonstrate how taking a critical physical geography approach to the earth's air might highlight disciplinary synergies and build stronger cross-geography relationships. These examples demonstrate the interconnectedness of the atmosphere with other earth systems, both environmental and social, and how these connections co-produce atmospheric inequities experienced by human populations.

Interdisciplinarity is often quoted as a means to solve the complex social challenges faced by humanity, and the future of research is thus seen as increasingly interdisciplinary. However, there are risks and challenges to embarking on interdisciplinary research, particularly for early-career researchers. Encounters – bringing together early-career researchers to cultivate their interdisciplinary skills or to develop new projects – have been proposed and trialled as a means to boost interdisciplinarity amongst early-career researchers and equip them with the necessary skills for successful project delivery. However, little follow-up evaluation has been undertaken, especially considering career impacts several years after encounter participation. This article focuses on two encounter types and evaluates the level of interdisciplinary interactions obtained and the benefits experienced by participants. In conclusion, encounters are found to be highly successful, resulting in many projects and skills/career development. As such, further funding should be allocated to this type of event.
