This article evaluates geography as an appropriate home for environmental education. First, it argues that many geographers have defined geography as a discipline with a major, if not primary, interest in human-environment interactions. Next, it reviews the recent statements by non-geographer, environmental scholars that, directly or indirectly,…

The unabashedly messy aspects of the research process are often hidden from published view, and are therefore not available to encourage and instruct. The authors tell specific stories about "messy" research, arranged around: (1) evolving research questions; (2) methodology or methods surprises; (3) problematic answers; and (4)publication…

From an analysis of recent periodical literature, the author reviews the salient characteristics of published environmental research in geography. (Author/JR)

Smaller, homogeneous communities tend to choose those alternatives that are perceived in the community self-interest. Larger, more pluralistic communities choose attitudes in line with general societal beliefs and more often…

All people have in the fundamental emotions the capacity for a common set of subjective experiences and expressions. These have a special communication value. The…

Mount Trashmore is a crushed, compacted, essentially decontaminated hill of garbage, an experiment in utilizing waste. (JA)

Discusses the need for tools that analyze Earth changes in time ranges, and describes a data structure for creating and managing archives of thematic maps derived by classifying remotely sensed images by soft techniques (soft maps). Considers time-based models and provides an example of the new data structure. (Author/LRW)
