Research

Our work explores the use of new and emerging forms of data from within a framework of geographic data science to uncover new insight into the dynamics, composition and complexity of cities and regions.

New methodologies and applications

We are developing new geographic data science methodology for a more nuanced understanding of geography and spatial processes.
Understanding the morphology of cities

We are interested in how urban areas are structured, and the relationship between the built, natural and human environments.
Explaining urban, regional and population dynamics

This area aims to explain the dynamics of cities, the systems into which they can be ordered, and how these are influenced by inter and intra regional geography.
Geographies of resilience, exclusion and opportunity

A lot of our research considers resilience, difference exclusion and opportunity from a variety of perspectives including health and wellbeing, crime, ethnicity and the economy.
