GES research

The school’s research is organised into two broad themes that are coordinated by the Human Geography Research Group and the Earth Systems Research Group, alongside a large and dynamic graduate school.

We are delighted that our school has recently received an Athena SWAN Silver award. The Athena SWAN charter aims to support women in scientific studies and careers, and to improve the working environment for all.
