Course summary

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. 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. 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
