What is critical physical geography?

Critical physical geography combines critical attention to relations of social power with deep knowledge of a particular field of biophysical science in the service of eco-social transformation. CPG’s central claim is that our environments are as much the product of unequal power relations, histories of colonialism, and racial and gender disparities as they are of hydrology, ecology, and climate change. Understanding our field sites thus requires careful integrative work to render these deep interconnections between biophysical and social systems legible.
