主要教授与研究方向

Prof.1: Ed Atkins： I work on the contested character of environmental and energy policy and politics. This is with a particular focus on the local politics of energy generation and consumption, decarbonisation and climate action. This mostly fits into the three interrelated themes listed below. These different threads of work have all led to my recent book A Just Energy Transition published in July 2023. This book explores how localised, democratic and place-based approaches might allow for more equitable energy transitions and climate action.

Prof.2: Negar Elodie Behzadi： Negar is a feminist political geographer interested in unravelling the ways in which intersectional forms of exclusion and marginalisation are produced, reproduced and contested in stressed environments. Her researchbrings the insights of feminist political ecology, labour geography and the sensibilities of an ethnographer to issues of resource extraction, work, migration, gender and Muslimness in the Global South, the post-Soviet Muslim South and France. Negar undertakes empirically grounded research on issues with marginalized communities - women, men and children informal and precarious laborers in an extractive coal landscape marked by the emergence of Chinese investments in post-Soviet Tajikistan, and more recently children second generation migrants in France.

Prof.3: Rodolfo Bezerra Nobrega： My research interests spread around understanding the role of water in ecosystems and the soil-vegetation-atmosphere continuum; how water is connected to and influenced by elements of the terrestrial biosphere and anthroposphere. I use plot, community, and catchment scales to identify and assess ecosystem processes on regional and global levels to support theories that reduce equifinality in modelling schemes in hydrology and Earth System science.

Prof.4: James Duminy： My research examines the ways that cities and urbanisation are governed, focusing on sub-Saharan Africa within the wider context of the global South. I am interested in how urban processes relate to food security and health risks, and the ways in which those links are problematized and addressed. In doing so, I work at the interface of the historical and contemporary, the empirical and theoretical.

Prof.5: Jonathan Bamber： I am a physicist who uses Earth Observation (EO) data, primarily from satellites but also airborne platforms, to study the cryosphere and polar regions. My research interests are broad but can loosely be described as cryospheric processes and their interaction with the rest of the climate system. Most of my research focuses on using EO techniques, including laser and radar altimetry, Synthetic Aperture Radar, imaging spectrometry and gravimetry, to investigate the behaviour of the ice sheets covering Antarctica and Greenland. I have, however, also applied similar methods to study the Patagonian Ice Caps, Svalbard, Himalayan glaciers and Arctic sea ice. Much of my most recent research relates to the impact of melting land ice on sea level rise (SLR) and also the response of the ocean to changes in freshwater forcing. Thus, I have worked on investigating the stability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) among other oceanography problems such as closing the Sea Level Budget and the fate of freshwater fluxes in the North Atlantic.

Prof.6: Paul Bates： He has widespread research interests in risk, resilience, uncertainty, governance and decision-making in relation to natural hazards and global water issues. Paul's main science contribution has been to improve the prediction of flood inundation through the development of new computer models, the use of data from new airborne, satellite and ground sensors and through the better characterization of risk and uncertainty.

主要教授与研究方向

Prof.1: Sarah Ayres： Sarah的工作通过探索正式和非正式结构、过程和结果之间的相互作用，探索了权力下放和城市治理的复杂性。她的研究为“非正式”决策（即政治精英之间闭门造车）如何塑造英国的权力下放提供了重要的见解。这项研究通过考察所谓的“非正式治理”对主流治理理论不同方面的影响，包括政治创新、民主、政策有效性和公共价值的创造，做出了独特的贡献。Sarah曾担任连续三届英国政府关于英国权力下放的学术顾问，并定期为政府咨询和下议院调查提供书面和口头证据。

Prof.2: Roger Burrows： Roger 的工作涉及社会政策、社会学和地理学，对住房和城市研究、数字文化、社会不平等、社会研究方法的历史和高等教育社会学感兴趣。

主要教授与研究方向

Prof.1: Samuel Appleton： My research is situated in the field of global political economy, with particular focus on the role of the international financial institutions in global governance. I am interested in the relationship between these organisations, financiers, and member states – and the dynamic processes of negotiation among these groups through which hegemonic agendas are developed and realised.。

Prof.2: Will Atkinson： I have broad interests in class inequalities and differences, whether in relation to education, work, culture, politics or self-perception, as part of a larger general concern with systems of power and domination and how they interplay to shape who we are. I work closely with the social theory of Pierre Bourdieu in this regard, though I try to take it in new directions.

Prof.3: Corrin Bramley： My research interests include the culture, literature, government and politics of the United States in addition to gender, women’s leadership, political leadership, and the relations that bind popular culture and world politics. My primary research area is women in American politics. I am interested in interdisciplinary approaches and my work tends towards interpretative and discourse.
