Our Research
Our research interests are broad, range from molecular biology through evolutionary biology, conservation and ecology to environmental processes, carbon and nutrient cycling, river ecology and pollution monitoring, geoarchaeology, environmental history to palaeo-environments. Research actvities are lead by 34 Principal Investigators who seek to understand the fundamental processes driving the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity from the genetic to the ecosystem level, how environments and ecosystems have changed over thousands of years and to predict and mitigate the future impacts of anthropogenic change. Our findings are used to inform policy makers and practitioners in conservation and environmental planning.
