Geographical Research

Geographical Research is the internationally refereed journal of the Institute of Australian Geographers, the national body representing academic and professional geographers in Australia. The primary objective of Geographical Research is to advance geographical research across the discipline and especially to encourage research at the human-physical geography interface. The journal also supports the Institute’s Study Groups in Cultural Geography; Economic Geography; Environmental Sustainability; GIScience, Spatial Analysis and Modelling; Indigenous Issues; Political Geography; Rural Studies and Urban geography. The journal includes academic papers, research reports, essays and book reviews. Short papers from practising (professional) geographers, and geographers in education, are particularly welcome.

Geographical Research is published quarterly by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Institute of Australian Geographers, through Editors appointed by the Council of the Institute.
