Research institutes, centres and groups
-
Economy, Society and Governance
Our research addresses the changing relationships between contemporary economies, societies and politics, and focuses on the ways in which human geographies are central to these changes. -
Environmental Change and Sustainability
We carry out geospatial analysis and experimentation to understand environmental change and potential solutions. -
Future Towns Innovation Hub
The Future Towns Innovation Hub is a collaborative space designed to foster happy, healthy and prosperous places. -
GeoData
We manage, analyse and process environmental data. Our consultancy services and interdisciplinary research projects range from managing river catchments and coastal zones to the wider fields of environment, social and economic development. -
Landscape Dynamics and Ecology
Researching the changing environments and landscapes using the appliction of novel methodological approaches. -
National Centre for Research Methods
The National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) provides training in research methods, produces online learning resources, conducts research and supports methodological innovation. -
Population Health Sciences
We research prevention of disease, reduction of health inequalities and optimisation of health and wellbeing for whole populations across the lifecourse, in the UK and internationally. -
Population, Health and Wellbeing (PHeW)
We combine expertise in population, health and wellbeing with the application of technical excellence in geographic information systems (GIS), spatial analysis and qualitative methods. -
Precision Biosciences Innovation Hub
We use big data, computational approaches and 'in silico' digital twins of biological systems. Through our research, we gain a detailed understanding of the biological processes needed for sustainable health, environment and food. -
Southampton Geospatial
The Southampton Geospatial team has the tools and expertise to collect, combine and interpret datasets about locations. -
Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities
Our research explores the roles that art, culture and creativity play in modern public life. We support socially engaged, creative and critical research by funding pilot and proof-of-concept projects. -
Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute
We work with partner organisations to tackle global marine and maritime challenges, from developing green technologies to influencing government policy. -
WorldPop
We develop and implement open, robust and peer-reviewed geospatial methods. These are used for mapping population distributions, demographics and dynamics, with a principle focus on low and middle income countries.
