Department of Geography

Main content

Geography is focused on the connections between environment, nature and society. We study contemporary topics such as green transformation, climate change, natural hazards, global inequalities, climate and energy transformation, food security and natural resource management. Education and research at the department is organised into four research areas:

Research projects
Small fish

New Small Fish Projects initiated in Kenya and Tanzania

The multi-disciplinary SmallFish4Food and SmallFishClim projects team initiated Lake Victoria research activities and collaboration to study the role of small fish trade for food security and nutrition.

New research project
Norwegian nature in Voss

Research on sustainable climate and nature governance funded

The collaborative project ECOBUDGETS will explore ways to integrate climate and nature budgets into administrative and political decisions at the municipal and county levels.
