Research

We’re renowned across the world for our research into human and physical geography.

The 2008 RAE results showed 90% of our research was of international quality and we received a grade five RAE rating in 2001. We also use research in our teaching to make sure it reflects the latest thinking.

Our human geography research is divided into two areas:

• Environment and spaces of governance
• Knowledges, cultures and space

We separate our physical geography research into three areas:

• Sediment and flow dynamics
• System response to environmental change
• Aquatic systems and resources

Who else do we work with?

The department has a number of organisations, centres and networks that are involved in research:

• The Centre for City and Regional Studies

• The Hull and Humber City Region Observatory
