OVERVIEW

Physical Geography is covered by the Environmental and Landscape Change Research Group at Keele, which sits within the School’s Earth Systems Research Cluster. The Environmental and Landscape Change Research Group focusses on understanding past processes to help understand future environmental change. The Group has research strengths in the following four key areas:

Quaternary Environmental Change
Glacial and periglacial environments
Glacial geomorphology and ice sheet reconstruction
Climate and ice sheet modelling and sea level projection
Biogeochemistry

Research in Physical Geography is supported by funding from sources including the UK Research Councils, the Environment Agency, the Royal Society, Natural England, The Nuffield Foundation, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Australian Research Council and the European Commission.
