We're passionate about research
We specialise in teaching and research across a number of pertinent environmental, social and economic challenges facing the world, including globalization, urbanization, environmental management, foreign policy and financial markets.
The human geography research that we conduct is informing government policy on a range of issues, including student housing, international aid, alcohol policy and community cohesion.
Research into physical geography continues to influence climate adaptation, development planning, flood risk modelling, as well as hazard management and mitigation.
We invest a great deal of time and resources in supporting our research students. We have two main research groups: Human Geography and Physical Geography. Find out more about our Geography research opportunities.
