Mapping tomorrow’s population distribution
Research group WorldPop, based at Southampton, is developing maps which can be used to predict the impact of climate change on the distribution of Earth’s population by the end of the century. The maps will provide detailed pictures of humanity by 2100, including predicted population sizes, ages and genders.

Protecting against rising sea levels
Research led by Professor Ivan Haigh on storm surges, sea level rise and climate change is ensuring flood barriers are maintained and future-proofed to protect 30 million people. -
Eliminating cloud shadow impact on Earth observation imagery
Project will improve quality of airborne data used in forestry, agriculture and environmental monitoring. -
Putting quantum computing in the palm of your hand
Physicists from the University of Southampton have secured investment for their ground-breaking, miniature quantum device. -
Enhancing astronaut health and helping physiotherapists consult during COVID
Health researchers share their insights to support both astronauts in space and people on Earth. -
Measuring the impact of the aurora borealis on climate change
A Southampton researcher is developing new techniques to measure the temperature of the upper atmosphere and model the impact of the aurora on climate systems. -
Expanding the use of satellite data to provide real-world benefits
The University is leading research into remote sensing to improve food security, population mapping and disaster response. -
Bringing next-generation technology to the whole world
A Southampton expert's work will help bring wireless communications to some of the most inaccessible places on Earth. -
Optimising power transfer for renewable energy
Our researchers are running a series of projects to optimise the design of marine high voltage cables, used in offshore windfarms, to maximise power transfer and save money. -
Population mapping saves lives
A University of Southampton research group is using new ways of mapping and counting populations to help developing countries. WorldPop's datasets have helped to eradicate polio in Nigeria and assist earthquake victims in Nepal.
