Welcome
To establish the University’s standing and increased reputation for quality research and strategic partnerships with funders, government, and business, we have chosen to actively place research centres and groups at the heart of our strategic plans.
Lincoln Centre for Water and Planetary Health (LCWPH)
Lincoln Centre for Water and Planetary Health focuses on solving the most pressing global environmental and societal problems emerging from the world’s largest rivers. These include climate change impacts on extreme floods and droughts, flood-related contamination from metal mining and processing, and waterborne and vector-borne diseases affecting humans and animals where riverine environments provide the principal habitat.
Development, Inequality, Resilience, and Environments (DIRE)
Development, Inequality, Resilience and Environments addresses the most urgent and immediate threats to the resilience of human-environment systems and seeks to understand the complex interactions between societies and the landscapes they inhabit that precipitate vulnerability, including rural and urban dynamics.
Lincoln Climate Research Group (LCRG)
Tackling climate change and reversing environmental degradation are among the most important tasks facing the world in the 21st century. University of Lincoln climate researchers are developing innovative solutions to the challenge of sustainability through inter-disciplinary research in key areas, including climate science, impacts, adaptation, policy, and governance.
