Norte Grande Geography Magazine

The Norte Grande Geography Magazine is a triennial publication (May, September and December) of the Institute of Geography of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Published since 1974, it brings together empirical and theoretical research, which accounts for advances in the most diverse currents of geographic research and its related sciences, referring to the Chilean case and also to Ibero-American places, regions and countries.

The title of this publication originates when, in the 1970s, a group of specialists from the Taller del Norte Grande of the Institute of Geography of the Catholic University of Chile decided to make their research and conclusions known to the rest of the scientific community. , persisting in the imperative that it was to carry out integrated and interdisciplinary regional studies of this territory.

In the coming years, the growing complexity of the world space and, therefore, of the national one, demanded the opening towards other spaces that exceeded the limits of the particular Chilean boreal territory. This is how "Norte Grande", from number 7 of 1980, is preceded by the expression "Geography Magazine", which is intended to express the desire to cover various geographical problems that cross our country transversally.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the greater integration of sciences and countries is rapidly generating the urgent need for publications to also be capable of unifying knowledge about processes that often go beyond political borders. In this scenario, the Revista de Geografía Norte Grande has opted for an integrating and interdisciplinary vision, although focused on the case of Chile, of increasingly global geographic processes, referring to the reality of Ibero-America.
