“…Together, the evidence thus indicated that the anomalously high number of landscape fires was primarily caused by military activity. It is possible many of the fires were initiated by incendiary weapons, themselves environmentally harmful (Mojabi et al, 2010), with speculation that the fires were used to remove the cover to help drone warfare or create a smokescreen to hinder it.…”

The 44‐day war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Nagorno‐Karabakh in 2020 resulted in significant environmental damage. This brief communication presents two aspects of harm to the region's biodiverse‐rich primary forests—(1) hundreds of conflict‐linked landscape fires during and (2) widespread development postconflict, without a due environmental assessment. The use of novel mixed methods research, including satellite remote sensing, has allowed an independent and open response to some of the environmental narratives, which were weaponized by both conflict parties.

Attending to connections between serious health conditions (cancers and congenital disorders) and weapons residues in Iraq, Afghanistan and Gaza, this article develops a geographical agenda for examining power in late modern war from the perspective of the ground and the life it sustains. A case is made for understanding the time-spaces of war as not compressed, vertical or remote but enduring, pedospheric and proximate in which violence emerges through processes (carcinogenic and teratogenic) that transcend boundaries between ‘life’ ( bios) and ‘nonlife’ ( geos). Such are the geontological time-spaces of late modern war that geographers – in both ‘physical’ and ‘human’ sub-fields – are uniquely equipped to examine.
