Abstract

Abstract : We discuss two shared elements in the temporal perspective of human and physical geography—chronology and narration. An example of the use of these elements is in practice provided by repeat photography, a technique used in both subdisciplines, but these elements also are deployed in the development of the theories that shape the fields. We argue that their role in enhancing the "telling of temporal and spatial stories" can contribute to the resolution of issues beyond what is usually thought of as the domain of academic geography.
