Our Research
From analysing ancient DNA in order to make sense of past ecosystems, to climate change impacts on south-west forests, improving crop yield, to post-harvest biosecurity for grains, fisheries sustainability, whale and dolphin biology and more, we are currently exploring a wide range of research areas.
Our research is driven by passionate teams of people who bring together research groups, academic staff and research students. Many of our research groups and centres have achieved international recognition and collaborate extensively to offer a multi-disciplinary aspect to many projects.
