Key research areas encompass Arctic and Antarctic studies, metropolitan geography, global warming, and geospatial analysis techniques.
Beyond bachelor's degrees, the department provides two-year research-focused MA and MSc degrees, a one-year course-based interdisciplinary MSc specialization in The Anthropocene, and doctoral studies in Geography.
