Much of the research we write in the Department is often not easily available to the general public. However, increasingly, it is possible to share digital versions of either the completed piece of work or a unpaged version of it. Although much of this material is on-line, it is often not easy to find.
On this page we’ve tried to bring together just a sample of the accessible work available in this way. This is an ongoing project, and this page just includes work in the last ten years directly related to the local region by current staff. There is lots of other material by Department staff and students available via Durham Research Online.
