In recent years the spectre of anthropogenic climate change has thrust climate science into the centre of current political and public debates. Climate science is now directly informing policies which will affect all our lives. The department of Geography at Sussex contributes to this agenda through research to improve our understanding of fundamental climate processes within the Earth System and climate impacts on our life support systems. The department is in the top 10 in the UK in terms of publications and the climate groups is one the department’s leading research.
