Research

We aim to transform the understanding and methods of analysis of planet Earth and its inhabitants across time and space.

Our research in Earth and Environmental Sciences and Human Geography is internationally recognised at the highest levels.

It is supported by state-of-the-art facilities and technical expertise, with substantial funding from a wide range of sources, including research councils, the government, charities and the EU.
