International and domestic circumstances have led to new opportunities and higher requirements for the development of geographic science in China.In this paper,we propose a modified disciplinary structure for geographic science in China in the new era.Geographic science in China can be categorized into four secondary disciplines,i.e.,integrated geogra-phy,physical geography,human geography,and information geography,according to the current situation and expected trends.The tertiary disciplines under each secondary disci-pline are nearly fully developed,and a few quaternary disciplines under the tertiary disciplines are widely accepted and used in China.We hope this new disciplinary structure can play a breakthrough role in improving the branches of geographic science,promoting the develop-ment of emerging disciplines under the framework of geographic science,and supporting national and international development strategies in the new era.
