MPhil/PhD Physical Geography- Full Time

Understanding the earth’s climate and how it is changing can help us plan for the future and react to global challenges facing the world. Further study in physical geography enables students to explore the processes and patterns in the natural environment and considers the natural sciences of the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.

The School of Geography offers the opportunity to work at doctoral level alongside academics whose research has been internationally recognised. Researchers in the School include Professor Mark Macklin, whose expertise lies in river systems, global environmental change, and in catchment hazard and pollution issues, Professor of Climate Science and Meteorology, Edward Hanna.

Students can benefit from a supportive academic community, where ideas and experiences are shared with the aim of advancing knowledge.

Lincoln’s physical geographers are working on projects exploring geoarchaeology and environmental history; quaternary environmental change; ecosystem and human health; floods, droughts and climate change; GIS and remote sensing; glaciology and climatology; coastal and marine environments; and large river systems and deltas.
