We are housed in one building on the main campus adjacent to the other departments in the College of Science and Engineering.  Research and Teaching are supported by high-quality facilities covering all of the sub-disciplines in the department.  Specifically, the facilities include:

• A brand new bespoke  Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating laboratory to develop chronological frameworks for Quaternary palaeoenvironmental research and for studies of long term landscape evolution.
• Leica HDS 3000 Terrestrial Laser Scanner and Faro Laser Scan Arm with Cyclone and Polyworks Software.
• The SRIF-funded state-of-the-art Leicester Environmental Stable Isotope Laboratory.
• Access to the new University High Performance Computing Facility (ALICE)
• A sediment laboratory (for sieving, core extrusion etc.), thin section laboratory, a bespoke palaeoecology laboratory and cold store, an atomic absorption spectrophotometer facility, a Coulter laser particle size analyzer, a rainfall simulation laboratory and hydraulics flume.
• A field-based full eddy covariance flux tower system to measure a range of carbon, water and energy fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere.
• A dedicated remote sensing/GIS computer laboratory and a LINUX cluster enabling parallel processing.
• Three computer laboratories: an undergraduate laboratory with 60 PCs networked within the University, a laboratory dedicated to the MSc courses, and a staff and postgraduate computing laboratory.
• A 3D stereo Virtual Reality Theatre, which is being used to work with geospatial technologies including GIS, Remote Sensing, and Surveying.
• A Geospatial Equipment Pool comprising: field computers, GPS, GPS-enabled smartphones, digital cameras, data loggers and environmental temperature and soil moisture sensors, to allow research students and staff to investigate spatio-temporal patterns of variability in environmental variables.
• A Cartographic Unit, which provides a high quality mapping and design service to the Department.
• Student Study area and Map Library, with over 100,000 accessions, most of which are on a computer query-and-loan data base (this includes aerial photographs and atlases.
