Our vision is to be a School delivering internationally leading, impactful research, across our main strengths (Archaeology, Geography and Environment, Geology and Geophysics, Planetary Sciences, and Energy Transition) within an environment which is inclusive, supportive and respectful, allowing individuals to excel.
We will adhere to the highest ethical standards, cognisant of the work we do within both the human and natural environments and sustainability will be addressed in all of our research activity. We will follow the FAIR principles for data management and stewardship and we will publish following open research best practice. We will champion interdisciplinarity, innovation and enterprise as we push the boundaries of our research. We will be agile, and ready to engage with new and emerging research areas and agendas, while drawing on our disciplinary strengths. We will engage with business, industry, policy makers and stakeholders to maximise the impact of our research and build a resilient funding base. Full details can be found here.
Research within the School ranges across the whole of the geosciences in both the social and natural sciences and encompasses a wide range of expertise. It is sub-divided into 4 themes:
