MPhil Physical Geography

University of Lincoln

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. The Department of Geography offers the opportunity to work at doctoral level alongside academics whose research has been internationally recognised. Students can benefit from the supportive academic community, where ideas and experiences are shared with the aim of advancing knowledge. 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.
