Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography

Aims & Scope

Since 1953 the Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography (and antecedents) has been a leading international forum for scholarship on tropical environments, localities and their connections.

The SJTG publishes theoretical and empirical articles and reviews that deal with the physical and human environments of the tropics and development issues from geographical as well as interrelated disciplinary viewpoints.

We therefore welcome contributions from the humanities, social or environmental sciences that advance research on tropical natures, places or interconnections.
