The University of Liverpool has achieved impressive rankings in the 2024 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), with five subjects ranked in the global top 50. Notably, within the School of Environmental Sciences, Geography is ranked 41st globally, and Oceanography is within the top 100, securing 4th place in the UK.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Tim Jones remarked:
“To feature subjects across a broad range of disciplines in the top 50 in the world is a testament to our excellent global reputation. I’d like to thank everyone who works so hard across the institution to deliver the courses that have achieved these remarkable rankings.”

Sad news: we recorded the recent passing of Dr Robert (Bob) Pullan, former Senior Lecturer (Geography), who retired in 1993.
He taught biogeography in the department from 1964 to 1993, with a specialist interest in soils in tropical Africa. He came to Liverpool after service in the soil survey in Nigeria. His Liverpool PhD thesis in 1970 was entitled 'Contributions to the study of the soils, landforms and quaternary evolution of the Chad basin and Middle Niger Valley, Nigeria’.

Our condolences go to his wife Margaret and Bob’s family.

It is with great sadness that the Department marks the passing of former colleague Dr Pete James, a brilliant soil scientist, great company and one of the nice guys.... a natural in front of a soil pit or section, in the classroom and the field. So many gained from his knowledge and expertise....
