Geographical Bulletin is a biannual open-access peer-reviewed academic journal published by the international geographic honor society Gamma Theta Upsilon (ΓΘΥ or GTU).^[1] Gamma Theta Upsilon established the journal in 1970 to provide an outlet for geography-focused student research.^[2][3] The journal covers all aspects of geography and focuses on student-written and student-led research.^[2][3] While the journal focuses on student research, being a student is not a requirement for consideration.
