Journal overview

Polar Geography is a quarterly publication that offers a venue for scholarly research on the physical and human aspects of the Polar Regions.  The journal seeks to address the component interplay of the natural systems, the complex historical, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and security issues, and the interchange amongst them. As such, the journal welcomes comparative approaches, critical scholarship, and alternative and disparate perspectives from around the globe. The journal offers scientists a venue for publishing longer papers such as might result from distillation of a thesis, or review papers that place in global context results from coordinated national and international efforts currently underway in both Polar Regions. The journal also offers a section for book reviews and invites such submissions or suggestions.

Polar Geography is a quarterly publication and was first published in 1977 as a vehicle for making available English translations of important Soviet, Japanese, and west European research on the polar regions.
