The climate change research that makes the front page
By growing awareness for and interest in climate change, media coverage enlarges the window of opportunity by which research can engage individuals and collectives in climate actions. However, we question whether the climate change research that gets mediatized is fit for this challenge. From a survey of the 51,230 scientific articles published in 2020 on climate change, we show that the news media preferentially publicizes research outputs found…

Reflections on the IPCC and global change science
Key Messages Single factor climate change metrics, such as global mean temperature increase or global sea level rise, have little meaning for the explanation of landscape scale change. Global scale analyses struggle to incorporate landscape settings; the role of climatic variability alongside secular change; intrinsic systems feedbacks which modulate external forcing; and spatial and temporal cascades of energy and matter. The ultimate goal of gl…
Slow science, the geographical expedition, and Critical Physical Geography
Key Messages Isabelle Stengers' critique of 21 st -century science points to the need to change how we relate to the subjects that we study, under the umbrella of "slow science." Human geographer William Bunge's notion of geographical expedition may be a means of doing this, even if "expedition" is a term to be used cautiously. Slow science may allow a more creative and critical Physical Geography centred on the very curiosity that makes being a …

Explaining Rapid Transitions in the Practice of Flood Risk Management
This article draws on empirical material to reflect on what drives rapid change in flood risk management practice, reflecting wider interest in the way that scientific practices make risk landscapes and a specific focus on extreme events as drivers of rapid change. Such events are commonly referred to as a form of creative destruction, ones that reveal both the composition of socioenvironmental assemblages and provide a creative opportunity to re…
Learning through Computer Model Improvisations
It has been convincingly argued that computer simulation modeling differs from traditional science. If we understand simulation modeling as a new way of doing science, the manner in which scientists learn about the world through models must also be considered differently. This article examines how researchers learn about environmental processes through computer simulation modeling. Suggesting a conceptual framework anchored in a performative phil…
Climate change and integrated analysis of mountain geomorphological systems

Geography as a shared project
The Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) annual Medals and Awards recognise achievements in researching, communicating and teaching a wide range of geographical knowledge. The speeches and citations are a record of the ceremony of 2012. With comments by the BBC's Alastair Fothergill, and Professors Charles Withers, Gillian Rose, Stuart Lane and Claudio Vita-Finzi, the speeches encompass historical geography, insp…
Virtual Engineering
This paper discusses computer simulation modelling in the context of environmental risk management. Approaching computer simulation as practice, performed in networks of heterogeneous elements, we examine the modelling undertaken by engineering consultants commissioned to provide knowledge about local flood risk to the Environment Agency of England and Wales (EA), the public body responsible for flood risk management. We propose that this simulat…
Coproducing Flood Risk Knowledge
This paper suggests that computer simulation modelling can offer opportunities for redistributing expertise between science and affected publics in relation to environmental problems. However, in order for scientific modelling to contribute to the coproduction of new knowledge claims about environmental processes, scientists need to reposition themselves with respect to their modelling practices. In the paper we examine a process in which two hyd…
Communities of knowledge
This paper traces the integration of a particular set of knowledge claims into flood management in Bangladesh following the instigation and collapse of the Flood Action Plan. Using the work of Goodbred and Kuehl (1998) as an entry point and partially in response to Nicholls and Goodbred's (2004) call for integrated assessments to improve understanding and management, we explore the incorporation of sedimentation and subsidence knowledge claims in…
Doing flood risk science differently
In this paper, we describe an experiment in which the position of scientists with respect to flood risk management is fundamentally changed. Building on a review of three very different approaches to engaging the public in science, we contrast the normal way in which science is used in flood risk management in England and Wales with an experiment in which knowledge regarding flooding was co‐produced. This illustrates a way of working with experts…
Being critical
I am pleased that I have ‘stirred the raw emotions’ of Maslin and des Clers and that they have been able to write in response to what I intended to be a provocative editorial. I hope that this is not the only response, whether through the pages of Transactions or elsewhere. It was particularly encouraging to hear of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Exercise and I look forward to reading the associated reports once they are published. However, …
Deadening environmental space
It is, perhaps, a turn-of-the-century paranoia, but our worries about forecasting the future are, almost certainly, deadening our concerns about the spatiality of environments in the present. This is ironic given the growing ease with which we can measure and handle space in the environment, using the latest generation of remote sensing technologies and continually expanding computer power. Concerns over the future are well illustrated in current…
Rivers of dreams
This paper is concerned with development and application of a conceptual model of the river restoration process and, through a specific case study, a demonstration of the challenges that arise when combining ecological and geomorphological principles with social and economic issues. Thus, it demonstrates the difference between the ideal goals of river restoration and the practical determinants of the nature of a river restoration that derive from…
Constructive comments on D Massey ‘Space‐time, “science” and the relationship between physical geography and human geography
This paper provides a discussion of Massey's (1999) account of the role of space‐time in human and physical geography. Recognizing the relative (but not absolute) paucity of comment from physical geographers on questions of approach and method, the paper seeks to demonstrate three things. First, it casts a history of a narrow part of geomorphology in a similar vein to a part of human geography to demonstrate that it is possible to find strong sha…
