The Sustainable Environments Research Group (SERG) supports and promotes transdisciplinary research at the environment-society interface.

About the group

SERG brings together colleagues that share research interests in environment-society inter-relationships, and whose work is contributing to the 亚洲无码's Sustainable Futures strategic area of challenge, and attainment of the UN's (SDGs). ‘Sustainable Environments’ can be considered a state in which ecosystems, environments and natural capital are maintained or enhanced by mutually reinforcing social and economic goals. SERG’s research is multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary in nature, and draws upon expertise from a range of disciplines including ecology, conservation, natural resource management, river science, rural and urban development, health and wellbeing, climate change, and sustainable development itself. 

In recent years our impact-driven research has involved collaboration with a range of organisations across the public, private and civil society sectors, both nationally and internationally.

In the UK we work with fruit growers and vineyards to create habitats that enhance biodiversity and  ecosystem services, while our work with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust has modelled changes in vulnerable species and developed conservation management strategies. Elsewhere, we have been using our nationally recognised expertise in drone (UAV) surveying to model the impacts of flooding and nature-based solutions on rural and urban landscapes. In the city of Worcester itself, we continue to work with the local council and other stakeholders to development sustainable transport options and support the transition to low-carbon mobility.

Internationally, our research and consultancy work has included projects across Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. In sub-Saharan Africa in particular, we collaborate with international NGOs and local community groups to develop sustainable and climate-resilient livelihoods among vulnerable people. Meanwhile, current research in Nepal is exploring how UAVs can improve the modelling of household vulnerability to natural disasters, helping to build resilient communities.

Current opportunities

PhD research

Fully-funded PhD studentships within SERG will be advertised here, but also on .

Approaches from self-supporting PhD students are accepted all year round. Please contact Prof Alan Dixon to express an interest along with an outline of your research ideas.

Visiting researchers

The 亚洲无码 runs a scheme for Visiting Researchers. The scheme is aimed at postdoctoral researchers currently based at another (normally overseas) Higher Education Institution, although it may be extended to PhD students if appropriate. SERG welcomes the opportunity to host visiting researchers, particularly when this will complement research activities of the group. Please contact Prof Alan Dixon to express an interest along with an outline of the research you would like to pursue.
