Intervention: Critical physical geography

Abstract: A recent opinion piece rekindled debate as to whether geography's current interdisciplinary make-up is a historical relic or an actual and potential source of intellectual vitality. Taking the latter position, we argue here for the benefits of sustained integration of physical and critical human geography. For reasons both political and pragmatic, we term this area of intermingled research and practice critical physical geography (CPG). CPG combines critical attention to power relations with deep knowledge of … Show more

“…Currently, urban geomorphology addresses new questions such as ecosystem services provided by geomorphological processes and landforms (Picket et al 2001, Gordon et al 2012, Gray et al 2013, interconnections between geomorphological and anthropogenic systems, studied through holistic approaches, and the need to merge physical geography and human and social sciences approaches, giving rise to new hybrid approaches such as socio-hydrology (Sivaplan et al 2012) or critical physical geography (Lave et al 2014). Also the emergence of the Anthropocene as a new interval of geological time in which human influence on Earth dominates over natural processes (Steffen et al 2011) has induced new researches in geomorphology specifically addressed to the analysis of Man/Earth interaction challenges (Price et al 2011, Goudie and Viles 2016, Brown et al 2017.…”

“…Our approach to the integration of human and physical geography is therefore consistent with positions that mandate the integration of the natural and social sciences, particularly with regards to social and ecological sustainability [14,19,20]. In terms of more pragmatic concerns with territorial management and planning studies for sustainability, this position is considered to be essential [21][22][23].…”

“…For this reason, the integrative approach of geography requires human geographers to engage with the science of physical geography due to the relevance of physical features of the land in shaping social relations. In the same way, physical geographers need to understand the social power relations and human practices that shape biophysical systems [14]. Its main precept is not to rely on explanations based exclusively on human geography or PG, as landscapes are as much the product of unequal power relations, histories of colonialism, and racial and gender disparities as they are of land forms, hydrology, ecology, and climate change [14].…”
