Hello Bluesky community! The Department of Geography of the University of Cambridge is here and we're excited to share our passion for understanding the world.

We explore everything from climate change and urbanisation to cultural landscapes and GIS mapping.

Supporting safe and equitable access to field research To celebrate Pride Month 2025, we are excited to share a series of blogs and podcasts highlighting useful articles and resources for LGBTQIA+ ecologists and researchers. In each post, the authors b…

Very useful blog on safety in the field, with the focus on marginalised communities. Thank you @zoomingbio.bsky.social and @britishecologicalsociety.org for this piece; mandatory reading for anyone teaching and organising field courses.
