Abstract
Land change science emerged at the end of the twentieth century as an interdisciplinary and international program and as a subfield of study addressing the causes and consequences of changes in the terrestrial surface of the Earth, including the observation and monitoring, and the modeling and projection, of that change. Its modern antecedents in geography can be traced back to Alexander von Humboldt and the German Landschaft traditions, linked through various iterations of human–environment relationships in the discipline. Aligned with interdisciplinary efforts addressing global environmental change and sustainability science, land change science draws on and integrates the research interests of the human or social ecologies, environmental sciences, remote‐sensing and GIS sciences, and spatial sciences.
