An event-based methodology for climate change and human–environment research
Abductive causal eventism (ACE) is an analytical methodology based on a pragmatic view of research methods and explanation that places at the center of research inquiry the answering of why questions about events, including human actions
or environmental changes of interest. ACE encourages an eclectic use of methods, models, and theoretical ideas. By not privileging particular theories or explanatory factors in advance, ACE enables researchers to interrogate the plausibility of different causal
by these changes or by changes in climate per se. Research on coastal mangrove planting for storm protection in the Philippines and upland tree planting in St. Lucia are used to illustrate these arguments.

This article indicates the main directions to research being pursued by academic institutions of United States, United Kingdom, Canada, The Netherlands, Australia and Germany. They are a part of departments belonging to the natural sciences
, or on rare occasions to the human or social sciences. While the thematic structure of geographical studies is greatly diversified, there is an overall prevalence of socio-economic research topics. Physico-geographical research studies are often combined

Research perspectives on unstable high-alpine bedrock permafrost: measurement, modelling and process understanding
The AA. identify research needs in 4 major areas and at the interfaces between them : rock temperature measurement and modelling; remote sensing of rock walls; process understanding of rock mass instability; and flow propagation models of rock-ice
avalanches. This short communication identifies key interfaces between research directions to gain a better understanding of trajectories of destabilisation in time and space. They propose coordinated systemic research with respect to scale dependent
The interactions between vegetation and erosion: new directions for research at the interface of ecology and geomorphology
This review suggests new directions for research uniting ecology and geomorphology - the sub-discipline of biogeomorphology. The research, which recently has become vigorous, includes the sources, movement, and fates of fluvial loads of sediment
