Our research is broadly grouped under six key themes with interdisciplinary crossover.
Sustainable natural resources, food and water security, and public health
Water management, coastal protection, ecosystem restoration, and nature-based infrastructure
Resilient buildings and resilient energy, transport, and urban infrastructure.
Decarbonisation of industrial and agricultural processes, carbon sequestration, and carbon capture.
Atmospheric dynamics, and weather-related research
The climate system, including its variability, and the causes of climate change.
