Research is at the heart of our mission as the University for the Common Good. Our research focuses on three core areas - inclusive societies, healthy lives, and sustainable environments, to address the challenges posed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Environmental and socio-ecological systems
Building from a recognised strength in biophysical and environmental systems, over the last decade we have broadened our focus to include how humans interact with, shape, and depend on environmental systems. This integrated socio‑ecological lens is now a defining feature of our research, particularly in areas such as water quality, eco‑engineering, and nature‑based solutions.
Our Environmental and Socio‑Ecological Systems application areas are detailed below.
