Abstract
The human dimension is expanding across the globe in subtle and not so subtle ways, leaving no place on earth seemingly unaffected by the direct and indirect forces of change that operate through the complex processes of globalization. Local places are responding and changing in response to regional and global forces, but local processes continue to shape and mediate local conditions. Observed across the landscape at a host of space-time scales, signatures of the expanding human dimension are indelibly recorded in their associated patterns, forms, functions, and trajectories of change that are discernible across the landscape, for instance, through forms and intensities of urbanization, agricultural extensification practices, deforestation/reforestation strategies, transportation systems, and land use/land cover change patterns.
