Clionadh Raleigh, Professor of Political Geography and Conflict at the Βι¶ΉΣ³», has spent the past eight years collecting data related to violent incidents in order to re-shape the way we understand political violence and conflict.
Dr Sarah Scuzzarello is a member of the Βι¶ΉΣ³» Centre for Migration Research (SCMR), and works to better understand why people choose to leave their home countries, and how they navigate identities and communities in new lands.
A collaboration between Βι¶ΉΣ³» researchers, Kenyan national agencies and non-governmental organisations aims to improve drought predictions through the use of machine learning techniques to analyse satellite-based Earth observations.
Βι¶ΉΣ³» researchers venture to some of the coldest places on Earth to examine permafrost, which is a geological manifestation of climate. They also conduct experiments simulating permafrost conditions in our specialised laboratory on campus.
