Research in UL Geography
Geography is a new and fast-growing discipline at UL. The staff has a broad range of spatial and temporal research interests, from the environment and sustainability through to place and emotions, historical geography and the history of cartography. We are specialists in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for research and teaching, staff having worked in industry roles as well as academia, and we administer the UL GIS across campus for other faculties and departments.
We pride ourselves in research-led teaching, ensuring students have an awareness of the latest research across many aspects of the discipline.
Research Funding
Our staff has been successfully awarded research funding from the Research Ireland, Science Foundation Ireland, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Higher Education Authority, the Heritage Council, and the Royal Irish Academy, amongst others.
