MSc by Research Geography

Understanding the physical processes governing the earth surface and climate and how they are changing over time can help us plan for the future and react to global challenges facing the world, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Through independent research, supervisory meetings, and departmental seminars, conferences, and research workshops, this research programme provides the opportunity to conduct an in-depth research project in an area of physical geography, and aims to build key skills for positions in academia, research, spatial planning, and environmental consultancy and management.

Subject areas may reflect the Department's current research strengths and specialisms. These include geoarchaeology and environmental history, quaternary environmental change, ecosystem and human health, floods, droughts and climate change, GIS and remote sensing, glaciology and climatology, coastal and marine environments, and large river systems and deltas.

Lincoln's physical geographers are working on projects exploring soil science and geochemistry, quaternary environmental change, ecosys-tem and human health, flooding and climate change, GIS and earth observation, glaciology and climatology, fluvial and coastal geomorphology, and deltaic and estuarine river mouth systems.
