About Us
As a world-leading research-intensive University, we are here to address tomorrow's greatest challenges.

Between now and 2030 we will do that with a values-led approach to teaching, research and innovation, and through the strength of our relationships, both locally and globally.

About the Team
The School of GeoSciences explores the factors and forces that shape our world.

The School aims to understand the world through fundamental curiosity-driven research and to support prescient decision-making at individual to global scales.

We undertake world-leading research; offer new ways of understanding natural and social drivers of change; provide inter-and trans-disciplinary solutions; and work in partnership to improve livelihoods and explore ways to manage the environment that are both sustainable and socially equitable.

The School of GeoSciences was ranked first in the UK for Research Impact and joint top for research power in the latest assessment of research in UK universities (REF 2021).

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.

A distinctive feature of the School is the combination of academic strength, intellectual breadth and societal relevance.

Our interdisciplinary research and teaching builds on established core disciplines (ecology, environmental sciences, geography, earth sciences, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography) to provide a variety of approaches to understanding the world (including, for example, system-scale modelling, process studies and the development of urban and social theory).

The School's research covers fundamental 'blue-skies' questions, as well as addressing the major environmental and social challenges of our times including: climate and environmental change; energy, food and water security; health and wellbeing; natural resources; natural hazards; inequality and vulnerability; urban precarity; nature and cultural meaning; and development and sustainability;.

The School holds a Bronze Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to gender equality in higher education. Our aim is to recognise and value diversity in our staff and students, and to support flexible and family-friendly work
