About us

Our group consist of ecologists, human geographers, geographical information systems (GIS) specialists, political scientists, remote sensing scientists and anthropologists.

We examine the interactions between people, the environment and technology.  Our members seek to learn how people can live well in a changing environment without making life harder for others, now and in the future. We look beyond individual disciplines to deepen our understanding of the relationships between environmental change and human behaviour and are interested in the socio-ecological processes, socio-technical systems and the interactions between them. 

Our researchers bring together tailored combinations of established methodologies in the social and natural sciences or develop new methods, enabling us to examine historical evidence and observed trends over time. 

We unpack the critical drivers for change, evaluate the impacts of existing policies, model future scenarios or liaise with a range of stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of societal challenges and co-produce pathways for sustainability transitions.
