The University of Brighton has launched its latest Centre of Research and Knowledge Exchange Excellence – the Centre for Environment and Society, headed by co-directors Dr Corina Ciocan and Professor James Ebdon from the School of Applied Sciences.
The centre replaces and builds on the work of the Centre for Earth Observation Science and Centre for Aquatic Environments and seeks to address pressing environmental, health and societal challenges. Research and knowledge exchange activities within the new centre fall under the following five broad themes:
- Water, health and humans
- People, nature and place
- Geoscience and society
- Ecology and conservation
- Environmental data and spatial intelligence.
