The Environment, Politics and Society (EPS) cluster focuses on government, policy, and practice in areas such as climate, energy, health, marine ecosystems, cities, diplomacy, war and security, and large citizen science projects. The group focuses on key geographical issues related to physical aspects and the connections between nature, the environment, and social and political life. They have made theoretical progress in understanding the Anthropocene and 'the event,' with notable impacts on policy, especially in marine planning.
The group's research interests are particularly relevant to the MSc in Environment, Politics and Society, and the MSc in Conservation. These programmes offer students the chance to study key theoretical developments, policy debates, and methods in these fields at an advanced level.

Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS)
The Extreme Citizen Science group explores how participatory science approaches can contribute to environmental management through a broad peer community.
The group focuses on citizen science – the participation of members of the public in different scientific projects. It is focused on developing methods, theories, and tools to include more stakeholders in environmental decision-making.
