In our Use geography webinar series, we spoke to geographers across a range of sectors, helping you to learn more about the many possibilities studying geography opens up for your career.

In each 45-minute session, our panel of geographers working within a particular sector explain how and why they pursued their chosen career, and share advice for starting in the sector.
