Infrastructure and Environment Research Division
Head of Division: Prof. Chris Pearce
Our Division comprises several groups undertaking research in a broad range of subjects in the field of Civil & Environmental Engineering that impacts upon our knowledge, understanding and engineering of our built and natural environment.
Our research activities are broadly divided into a number of research themes. More details of these research themes can be found here:
The University of Glasgow has a long history of research in Civil Engineering. The UK's first Chair of Civil Engineering was established at the University of Glasgow in 1840 and early occupants such as William J. M. Rankine set a research ethos that has endured. Rankine worked at the boundaries of engineering, translating and refining new ideas so that they might ultimately be used in engineering design.
