The course offers a broad based and flexible research training for doctoral students; research students in Geography can therefore take advantage of an in-house research training programme over the course of their degree; geography and the School of Environment and Development have a number of research centres that both undertake pure and applied research covering the following broad themes: Environmental processes; quaternary environments and geoarchaeology; geographical political economy; space, culture and society. The Quaternary Environments and Geoarchaeology research group is particularly interested in the analysis of the response of geomorphological systems and ecosystems to global climate change. This includes the study of glaciers, rivers, lakes, deserts and high mountain terrains, as well as paleoecology, geochemistry and a range of geochronological applications. This research involves work throughout the world, including the Arctic, British Isles, Mediterranean, Himalayas, North America, and Africa. Research is funded by various bodies, including the Leverhulme Trust, NERC, the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society.
