GEOGRAPHY SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
We invite applications from well-qualified candidates whose research interests correspond to our areas of research expertise focused around the following research groupings: Environmental Dynamics Group Research interests include: • Interactions between climate change, human disturbance and catastrophic events • Regions especially sensitive to environmental change (tropical, cold and wildfire-prone) • Understanding environmental variability throughout the Quaternary Period and the effects of future climatic change Glaciology Group Research interests include: • Glaciology and the cryosphere, specialising in understanding the processes that regulate glacier dynamics, calving, flow instabilities and surging, and fast glacier flow Global Environmental Modelling and Earth Observation Group (GEMEO) Research is focused on understanding how natural and man-made changes affect the biosphere. Recent work includes: • Detection of changes in forest and ecosystem health • Radiative transfer modelling of light interactions in vegetation canopies to simulate the signals that satellites observe • Understanding how changes in vegetation at the global scale affect the global carbon and hydrological cycles
Migration, Boundaries, and Identities Group Research interests include: • Geographies of exclusion, violence, and marginalisation, particularly in relation to race, gender, culture and childhood • Relationships between international migration (internal and international), globalization and the conceptualisation of place • The social and political
