Marine & Coastal Environments, Ecosystems & People Network
Lead: Dr Bryce Stewart Department of Environment and Geography
Co-Lead: Dr Stephanie Piper Department of Archaeology
The Marine & Coastal Environments, Ecosystems & People Research network are interested in all aspects of the sea and coast. Our work spans disciplines, time and geographic scales. We're particularly interested in all types of change, management, and the relationships people had, have and will have with these environments.
Over 775 million people depend directly on the marine environment, yet our seas and coastlines are sites of rapid change. With this network we aim to bring together researchers from across the University of York to better understand marine and coastal ecosystems, environments and the (human) communities connected to them. From the past to the present, we’re interested in all aspects of change in these environments and places, how people interact and depend on them and what managing these areas for the future could look like. Our expertise spans disciplines and departments and in addition to our research themes, we are interested in developing novel interdisciplinary methods and ways of working.
If you’re a student or researcher at York, please join the network and/or follow our work on Twitter @UniYorkMarine.
