Organisation profile
Research on environmental change in the School focuses on the mechanisms, rates and trajectories of past, present and future environmental change at regional to global scales, and on the implications for the biosphere and society.
The Environmental Change Research Group (ECRG) comprises physical and environmental geographers with complementary research interests in:
- ecology and palaeoecology
- palaeoceanography
- palaeoclimatology and climate change
- geomorphology
- glaciology and geochronology
- the societal impacts of environmental change
- resource management.
Collectively, the group engages a global canvas that extends from tropical rainforests to arctic glaciers, and over timescales spanning the past million years to the future.
