Abstract: As populations migrate, natural resources are exhausted, and the climate changes, many of the major issues of the twenty-first century are linked to changes in the spatial structure and character of the landscapes and habitats of Earth’s surface. Geographical science research has the potential to make a significant contribution to monitoring, analysing, and preparing for these changes. Over the past 20 years, the geographical sciences have grown rapidly due to shifting research goals and technological advancements. The geographical sciences today include contributions from economics, biologists, epidemiologists, geologists, computer scientists, and others. There is still much to be done to comprehend the changes that Earth will face in the twenty-first century, notwithstanding the potential of recent discoveries in the geographical sciences. The Earth’s surface has always changed as human cultures and physical systems have developed, but in recent decades, the rate and scope of these changes have increased to previously unheard-of proportions. The enormous, quick changes taking place on Earth’s surface offer a sensible place to start when thinking about strategic research directions in the geographical sciences, with the aim of comprehending how, where, why, and how quickly changes are happening, as well as any potential ramifications.
