Geography

Geography research at Bangor University covers both human and physically aligned work, with a strong interdisciplinarity and applied focus, addressing policy issues and conducting action research with stakeholder groups.

About the programme

We work in a range of contexts internationally, studying processes and interactions at a range of scales – from global to regional, through to site-specific cases. This Geography research programme is offered at Bangor University

Topics covered encompass:

• Rural land-use change and controversies (e.g. Brexit & rewilding)
• Sustainable communities, tourism and eco-developments (e.g. food festivals & nature-based approaches)
• Human-nature relations and environmental governance (e.g. payments for ecosystem services & social forestry)
• Food values, justice and poverty (e.g. food banks & redistribution networks)
• Participatory approaches, citizen science and knowledge-politics (from mobile based surveys to post-truth debates)
• Long-term river response to environmental change
• Geoarchaeology of alluvial environments
• Process geomorphology
• Reconstruction of terrestrial glacial environments
• Catchment science and modelling
• Alluvial geochemistry and impact of PHEs on river systems
