The School was formed in 2004 from the merger of the Schools of Earth Sciences and of Environment. We currently have more than 80 academic staff, around 50 additional support and teaching staff and over 100 postgraduate students. We are one of the largest schools in the UK and we focus on a multidisciplinary approach to understanding our environment. We study the Earth from its core to its atmosphere and we examine the social and economic dimensions of sustainability.
It is now abundantly clear that we are living in a world that is changing as a result of the human influence on the environment and climate. A major focus and area of growth in environmental research in the next decade lies in identifying the nature of such changes, quantifying the response of the atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere, and predicting how we will adapt to this changing world. Such studies necessarily require an interdisciplinary approach that combines an in-depth understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes involved, together with social science to help us understand and modify society's responses to such changes.
Our studies must range from the nano-scale to the global scale, and from the study of contemporary processes to investigations of environmental change in the depths of geological time, providing a critical perspective to our understanding of long-term change. We believe the School of Earth and Environment at Leeds University is uniquely equipped to carry out such studies and address these research challenges.
