Physical geography research currently focuses on: hemispheric and regional snow cover dynamics; dynamics of the coastal zone and process-response modeling of beaches and dunes; paleoenvironmental reconstruction; groundwater and water supply; and landscape ecology.
Environmental geography research includes: human responses to environmental hazards and disasters; global environmental change; risk perception; public health and risk communication; remote sensing and geographic information systems; development and underdevelopment; political economy and ecology of Africa; and institutional and cross-cultural aspects of environmental management.
Research in urban, social, economic & political geography encompasses: social, political and economic restructuring in Central and Eastern Europe; the regional impacts of economic globalization in advanced and developing counties; contemporary urban development in advanced economies; urban revitalization and gentrification; housing, residential segregation and community control of land use; comparative political and economic aspects of urban change and policy; trans-Atlantic transfer of material culture; gender; and historical geography .
