The monumental work on mountain geography topics developed by late Prof. Jack D. Ives serve as a measure to assess the transition of purely physical science from punctual sites or mountain localities, towards a more integrative geophysical and biological science of regional dimensions highlighted by the verticality of highland-lowland interation, towards a more convergent socioecological science of global imperative to secure a transdisciplinary understanding of the mountain communities, where human, no-human, and more-than-human components can be unified in a sustainable, regenerative development. Indeed, the transition of mountain geographies as environmental wholes from discrete silos of western knowledge to syncrete nodes of traditional and indigenous knowledges assuming the plethora of decolonial scholarship available for a better epistemology and ontology of the mountainscape.
