Research programmes

Geographical research into cultures, economies and environments brings new knowledge and improved understanding of the world and the potential to apply that knowledge to solving some of the many challenges facing society and the environment today.

Since 1830, we have been advancing geography through the generation of new knowledge through grants, field programmes, publications of scholarly journals and books, and conferences and workshops.

Details on all these activities can be provided by following links to the left.

As part of this work, between 2005 & 2010, the Society is supporting the following six innovative research projects that contribute directly to the theme ‘Geographical Perspectives on Global Change’ to pump prime larger-scale research activity.
