Hidden Histories of Exploration
The Hidden Histories of Exploration research project brings to light the roles of indigenous peoples, local guides, interpreters and other intermediaries in exploration.
Discovering Antarctica
This RGS-IBG website provides advanced accounts of Antarctica's environment as well as how it is being studied, utilized and managed. More specifically, this section explores Antarctica in relation to six important themes in physical and human geography; the physical themes involving the cryosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, and the human themes keying into geopolitics, resources, and tourism.

Your Climate Your Life
At the core of A-level geography lies an understanding of process – both physical mechanisms such as overland flow and human movements like migration. The operation of these processes is dependent upon environmental factors. Climate change is an increasingly important factor that helps determine the rates at which these all-important processes operate.
