Research

Our staff and PhD students work at the cutting edge in a number of research fields, including water and flood management and population geography. Geography staff make a significant contribution to the University's new UNESCO Centre for Water Law, Policy & Science, and the leading international journal Population, Space and Place is edited here. Geography also hosts the newly formed Scottish Institute for Policing Research, a collaboration between 13 Scottish universities.

Geography at Dundee achieved an excellent result in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. Virtually all staff contribute research judged to be of international excellence with much work considered to be world class. With 60% of research activity rated as internationally outstanding or excellent (RAE 3* and 4*), Geography was ranked first equal in Scotland with St Andrews in the 2008 RAE. The result reflects research strengths across the discipline.
