Our research facilities
We provide facilities conducive to a world-leading education and research environment, with our laboratory facilities benefitting from £1.38M investment (2014-2020) and part of our world-leading 4* research environment ranked joint 8th in the UK.
Our laboratories and facilties include the Hydraulics Laboratory (in the School of Engineering); various facilities in the Roxby Building and the Higher Education Academy’s 2016 Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE) winning Central Teaching Laboratory where we embed ‘research-led’ science as fundamental to our learning program.
Central Teaching Laboratory
The Central Teaching Hub (CTH) consolidates much of the undergraduate teaching within the Faculty of Science & Engineering.
Geographic Data Science Lab
A centre of excellence for research and teaching, solving grand human challenges through geographic data science, working at the intersection between data science and geography.
Map Libraries
The School of Environmental Sciences is home to the map collections of both the Department of Geography and Planning and Department of Earth Oceans and Ecological Science map collections.
Liverpool Luminescence Laboratory
The Liverpool Luminescence Laboratory is a world-class research facility with the capabilities to perform cutting-edge luminescence dating techniques for determining the timing of sediment deposition or exposure.
Hydraulics Laboratory
The newly refurbished Hydraulics Laboratory at Liverpool houses dedicated facilities for the study of flow and erosion processes in fluvial, estuarine, coastal and hillslope environments.
Sediment Sampling and Topography Survey
The Quaternary Environmental Change Laboratories at Liverpool have extensive capability for field survey terrestrial/aquatic geomorphic-systems and the sampling of soils and sediments from marine, coastal, lacustrine, fluvial, wetland and aeolian sedimentary sequences.
Environmental Material Characterisation
The Quaternary Environmental Change Laboratories at Liverpool specialise in the non-destructive analysis of soils and sediments, generating records of environmental change from marine, coastal, lacustrine, fluvial, wetland and aeolian sedimentary sequences.
Quaternary Palaeoecology
In Quaternary Environmental Change at Liverpool palaeoecological research has encompassed a wide range of marine, terrestrial and freshwater organisms.
Qualitative Research Hub
Qualitative research increasingly requires a range of equipment and technologies to enable our work and also to make possible methodological innovation.
