Geography and environmental science at Southampton is recognised as a UK leader for its research outputs.
You'll join a friendly, diverse and international community of postgraduate researchers while working within one of our world-leading research groups. You'll use emerging theory, novel analytical tools and ethical field-based research methods during your degree.
As well as being supervised by researchers who are internationally-recognised experts in their disciplines, you'll be mentored by 2nd and 3rd year PhD students.
Alongside your project, you'll have opportunities to teach, help out with field courses and develop activities to achieve impact and engagement outside academia.
We also offer employability workshops and professional development training.
Our interdisciplinary approach means your project may be jointly supervised by colleagues from other schools across the University, such as:
- Engineering
- Ocean and Earth Sciences
- Health Sciences
- Economic, Social and Political Sciences
- Humanities
Main areas of research
- population, health and wellbeing
- landscape dynamics and ecology

Accounting for remittances in modelling sustainable energy transitions in African cities
African cities are undergoing rapid growth, with development partly funded by overseas remittances. However, the impacts of this on clean energy transitions is poorly understood. You will address this gap by combining innovative qualitative and quantitative data sources on remittances and renewable energy deployment in African cities.

Geography and environmental science
Democratic Resilience, Identities, and Geographical Imaginaries
This project conceptualises and empirically tests how identities – broadly conceived – and how they interact with distributive concerns, such as unemployment, to support or undermine democratic resilience. Co-supervised between Politics and Geography, it will build on new methods in both to contribute to a broad understanding of (democratic) resilience.

Desert dune avalanche processes
This project will examine how wind-blown avalanches are controlled by sediment transport dynamics including dune size, wind speed and grain characteristics. It involves laboratory experiments and field work. Research outcomes will provide unique, cutting-edge insight into the influence of avalanche dynamics on aeolian dune migration, critical for management in deserts.

Developing a novel palaeoclimate proxy from Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic
This project aims to develop a novel climate proxy from Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic to reconstruct the strength and movement of southern westerly winds, crucial for understanding climate tipping points and future projections. It involves quantifying wind-blown particles found in ice peat and assessing spatial and temporal relationships across the region.

Drivers of landscape fire activity in Africa
Over the past 20 years, landscape fire activity has decreased in Africa, particularly in the northern hemisphere. Questions remain with regards to potential anthropogenic and environmental drivers of this change and its magnitude. This project aims to utilise recent Earth Observation datasets and machine learning techniques to address this challenge.

Glaciers and climate change
Glaciers are retreating worldwide and are a major contribution to global sea-level rise. There are many factors which control melting rate, particularly water at the glacier bed. The aim of this project is to use remote sensing (satellite and drone) to understand how subglacial behaviour can effect glacier dynamics.

Investigating the environmental stressors causing ancestral Polynesian migration from Taiwan
This project aims to use multiple climate proxies and novel sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) and fecal biomarker analyses to reconstruct past environmental changes in Taiwan over the past 5000 years. The goal is to date and understand the environmental stressors that led to the ancestral Polynesian migration from Taiwan to the Pacific Ocean.

Left Behind Places and Democratic Resilience
‘Left-behind’ places have been central to British politics in recent years, especially since the 2016 referendum. This project will use a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods to explore how some left-behind places in the UK demonstrate greater democratic resilience than others in terms of participation, interest, satisfaction, and trust.

Reimagining complex adaptive systems as "serious games" for dynamical insight
This project will explore and examine dynamics of resilience by creating and developing deliberately simplified models of complex adaptive systems, constructed as "serious games". Combining geography, game theory, creative design, and complexity science, these "serious games" will pursue a new method of gaining dynamical insight into classical resilience problems.

Resilience of Urban Socio-ecological System to Air Pollution (RUSSAP) in the UK
Greenspace benefits human health but is it still true when plant emissions worsen air pollution, impacting both people and ecosystems? The RUSSAP project will examine socio-ecological resilience to air pollution – i.e., greenspace health under pollution exposure and its effects on human well-being by using satellite imagery, machine learning, and modelling.
