Research

Physical Geography research at Newcastle University is at the forefront of national and international research agendas on climate change, ice sheet and glacier dynamics, tectonically active landscapes, and water quality. Our research always aim to develop and make use of  innovative methods and approaches. We have a track record of high quality research output and research funding (including NERC, EA/Defra and EU awards). Our work is high-profile, frequently attracting global media coverage (e.g. climate change, UK flooding, Icelandic volcanic eruptions, new hominid finds) and has a demonstrable record of impact and engagement.
