The research work of the Institute is organised within three departments:

  • Physical Geography
  • Human Geography
  • Integrative Environmental Geography

The departments are each composed of a number of professors and their research groups. You will find more information about the individual research groups, on current projects, publications, student theses and available support infrastructures and lots more on the department websites.

Since April 1, 2023, the junior research group "Meat The Bioeconomy - The meat industry as part of the bioeconomy: internationalization, labor geographies and hegemonic strategies" of Prof. Dr. Christin Bernhold is affiliated to the human geography department of the Institute of Geography. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and will run for five years (2023-2028). The team explores strategies of German meat companies in the fields of internationalization, labor geographies, politics and culture for their impact on the establishment of a sustainable mode of production.
