Across the University a number of institutions and centres undertake and promote transdisciplinary research and innovation relating to environmental solutions
Within the DSI environment theme we seek methodological innovations that can transform our understanding and management of the natural environment. This is a major cross-disciplinary challenge requiring a close collaboration between environmental scientists, computer sciences, statisticians, social scientists, and many others.
The environment is central to energy provisioning – it is the reason why we are transitioning to low carbon supplies, it ultimately controls all sources of energy and energy conversion and it’s use impacts the environment. Within this theme we cover a range of disciplines that bring expertise to a range of energy types including bioenergy; geothermal; hydro; hydrocarbons; nuclear; solar; tidal; waste; wave; wind, drivers of energy use and the risks to energy infrastructure.
This is a new joint research institute between Lancaster University (UK) and Sunway University (Malaysia). We believe that we all have the right to live in cities that cater for the environment, promote health and wellbeing, protect us from natural and human-made disasters and make use of the latest digital technologies to serve humanity.
The Centre for Global Eco-Innovation brings together diverse research expertise at Lancaster University in partnership with businesses and organisations locally, nationally and internationally.
As one of the world’s largest and highest rated multi-disciplinary centres of environmental research, we bring together world-class researchers from a wide range of disciplines to help to find solutions to global environmental challenges.
CeMoRe is making the climate emergency its research focus from 2020-2025, recognizing that mobilities of every kind of scale are integral to the climate emergency and hold the greatest promise for transformation. Our aspiration in the next 5 years is to address the climate emergency through creative extensions and expressions of mobilities scholarship. This includes local and global transport, but also the capabilities and patterns of movement that constitute social, political and economic life.
Our mission is to deliver world-class transdisciplinary research and undertake engagement to support and advance the mainstreaming of social and environmental sustainability into purposeful business strategy and performance. We support this vision by engaging directly with businesses, policymakers, academics and other stakeholder groups.
The Ruskin – Museum & Research Centre is home to the leading collection of works by the epoch-defining writer, artist and social thinker John Ruskin (1819-1900). We work with academics across all stages of their careers to support collaborative research projects in areas such as Culture, Heritage (Natural, Future, Digital) and the Environment.
From the challenge of motivating people to engage with the economics of climate change to re-casting how our planet exists in the cosmos, this theme is home to projects that put the smallest of details into the biggest of pictures. If we want a better world, we need to change both thought and action in radically new ways.
