Journal Overview

IJGESR provides a professional publication platform for researchers, academicians, scholars,
students and practitioners working in the broad domain of geography and earth sciences. The
journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, case studies, conceptual papers
and field-based studies that contribute to the advancement of geographical knowledge and
spatial understanding.

The journal encourages research that examines natural processes, human-environment
relationships, spatial patterns, environmental change, resource management, regional
development, disaster risk, climate variability, land use transformation, population dynamics
and sustainable development. It also promotes the use of scientific tools and techniques such
as GIS, remote sensing, cartography, spatial statistics, field surveys and geospatial modelling.
