Environmental narratives – written texts with a focus on the environment – offer rich material capturing relationships between people and their surroundings. Situated at the intersection of the environmental and digital humanities, Unlocking Environmental Narratives: Towards Understanding Human Environment Interactions Through Computational Text Analysis (Ubiquity Press, 2022) examines the potential for studying these sources with computational methods. The volume introduces research questions, approaches, and case studies – from glaciers to urban gentrification – that will be of interest to newcomers to the field and experienced researchers.

Ross Stuart Purves is Professor of Geocomputation in the Department of Geography at the University of Zurich.

Luca Scholz is Lecturer in Digital Humanities at the University of Manchester (UK).
