and its surrounding regions. In 1987, the PROCEEDINGS were renamed the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL, and in 2018, the journal transitioned to an online format. A few earlier issues are also available online. </p><p>The journal remains dedicated to its mission to:<br />- Contribute theoretical, conceptual, and empirical advancements to geography and discussions around its ‘public relevance,’<br />- Influence public and policy-oriented debates across both human and physical geography, and<br />- Assess how and why geographical knowledge informs local and national policies and international agendas.</p><p><br />The online platform now allows us to share ground-breaking research in a more accessible way. In a world facing complex, large-scale challenges, the interdisciplinary research and perspectives that geography uniquely provides are more important than ever.<br />The South Australian Geographical Journal (SAGJ) accepts multiple types of submissions, including research articles, commentaries, and case studies. Further information, including submission guidelines can be found on the <a href="https://sagj.scholasticahq.com/">Journal’s website</a> or email the Managing Editor, Dr Gerti Szili (<a href="mailto:gerti.szili@flinders.edu.au">gerti.szili@flinders.edu.au</a>).<br />Recent volumes, South Australian Geographical Journal 114 (2018) and 115 (2019), are available<a href="https://search.informit.org/journal/sagj"> here</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="bg-dark text-light py-5 mt-5"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8"> <p>The Royal Geographical Society of SA Inc. acknowledges that the land upon which we meet is the traditional land of the Kaurna people.
