Abstract Digital geographies have emerged as a nascent but vibrant field of study within the discipline. This article charts the recent emergence of the term, describes current work's focuses, and provides core topics likely to guide the field as it continues to grow and develop. The entry argues that influences on digital geographies work are from critical GIS and cartography, science and technology studies, and urban data science, among others. It highlights current practices and application areas like critical data studies, feminist digital geographies, political ecologies of the digital, work on smart cities and sensors, and algorithms and artificial intelligence. Throughout, “the digital” is kept an open question, one to which a variety of approaches have produced and will continue to produce important research at the intersection of technology, society, environment, and self. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
