School of Geography and Environmental Science

Two students working outdoors with field equipment. One is leaning over to look at the display that the other is studying.

From global environmental change to economic transformation, our community is actively involved in researching and understanding the major issues affecting our planet.

We work with industry and governments to address key problems such as social and health inequality and biodiversity and habitat loss. Our school is home to the WorldPop research group, GeoData consultancy and a diverse range of staff working across human and physical geography. We host The Centre for Environmental Science, a collaborative enterprise, and offer consultancy in fields such as spatial data infrastructures and handling, environmental impact and ecological assessment, and carbon footprinting.
