Geography PhD

Geography research at Bangor covers both human and physically aligned work, with a strong interdisciplinarity and applied focus, addressing policy issues and conducting action research with stakeholder groups.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>**Topics covered encompass:**<br/>- Rural land-use change and controversies (e.g. Brexit & rewilding)<br/><br/><br/>- Sustainable communities, tourism and eco-developments (e.g. food festivals & nature-based approaches)<br/><br/><br/>- Human-nature relations and environmental governance (e.g. payments for ecosystem services & social forestry)<br/><br/><br/>- Food values, justice and poverty (e.g. food banks & redistribution networks)<br/><br/><br/>- Participatory approaches, citizen science and knowledge-politics (from mobile based surveys to post-truth debates)<br/><br/><br/>- Long-term river response to environmental change<br/><br/><br/>- Geoarchaeology of alluvial environments<br/><br/><br/>- Process geomorphology<br/><br/><br/>- Reconstruction of terrestrial glacial environments<br/><br/><br/>- Catchment Science and Modelling<br/><br/><br/>- Alluvial Geochemistry and impact of PHEs on river systems<br/>
