Save the date! Durham University's Department of Geography is excited to announce a postgraduate conference on the theme of "Shifting Environments, Shaping Change," to be held in the historic university city of Durham from 25-26th July 2024. It will be a friendly, informal event to encourage early career researchers within the broad field of geography to share and discuss their research, fostering intellectual exchange and collaboration among the next generation of scholars. The conference will be organized as an in-person event, open to those from UK-based institutions to present in a variety of formats, including 10-minute talks, multiple poster sessions and a film-screening session.

1. Changing Landscapes: Investigating the dynamic processes and forces shaping the Earth's surface, including landforms, climate change, and natural hazards.
2. Urban Dynamics: Examining the complexities of urban environments, from the impact of globalization on cities to issues of urban sustainability, resilience, and social dynamics.
3. Cultural Landscapes: Analyzing the intersection of human culture and geography, exploring how cultural practices shape and are shaped by the environment.
4. Environmental Governance: Exploring the ways in which societies respond to environmental challenges, including policies, strategies, and community-based initiatives.
5. Geospatial Technologies: Showcasing the latest advancements in GIS, remote sensing, and other geospatial technologies for both physical and social applications.
