With over 500 academics, researchers and research students, we are the largest and most successful interdisciplinary grouping of geoscientists and geographers in the UK. Research activity is coordinated within three main Research Institutes - Global Change, Earth and Planetary Science, and Geography and the Lived Environment - and within smaller research groupings that reach across and beyond the School.
