The Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities explores the digital methods and tools scholars use to observe, interpret, and manage nature in various academic fields. It recognizes the convergence of the DEH with the environmental humanities and is engaged in exploring digitally mediated, visualized, and parsed framings of past, present, and future environments, landscapes, and cultures. The DEH facilitates transdisciplinary encounters between fields such as human cognition, gaming, bioinformatics, linguistics, social media, literature and history, music, painting, philology, philosophy, and the earth and environmental sciences.

The Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities delves into the diverse range of digital methods and tools employed by scholars across various academic fields to observe, interpret, and manage nature. By employing a multi-faceted approach, encompassing historical, philosophical, linguistic, literary, and cultural lenses, this handbook explores how the digital environmental humanities (DEH), as a rapidly evolving field, recognizes its convergence with the environmental humanities. Through an empirical, critical, and ethical lens, it investigates the digital mediation, visualization, and parsing of past, present, and future environments, landscapes, and cultures.

Currently, humanities, geographical, cartographical, informatic, and computing disciplines are converging within the DEH, integrating the use of digital applications, coding, and software alongside literary and cultural studies, as well as the visual, film, and performing arts. This interdisciplinary approach fosters transdisciplinary encounters between fields as diverse as human cognition, gaming, bioinformatics and linguistics, social media, literature and history, music, painting, philology, philosophy, and the earth and environmental sciences.

As a comprehensive resource, this handbook is of utmost importance to scholars interested in leveraging digital tools to study the environment from a wide array of disciplines, as well as those engaged in the broader field of environmental humanities. It serves as a valuable guide for navigating the complexities of the digital realm and unlocking the potential of technology to enhance our understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
