The Terrestrial Ecosystem Restoration and Adaptation group works on past, present and future environmental change. This group builds on Exeter’s established strengths in water, sediment and nutrient cycling, but integrates expertise in ecosystem functioning, carbon dynamics and climate modelling. A key focus is on the links between landscape processes and ecosystem responses to human activity and climate change. Geographers at Exeter also contribute to the cross disciplinary Earth System Science group.
