Terrestrial and freshwater ecology
We explore the active processes and interactions in terrestrial and freshwater environments with the aim of conserving and restoring them.

Our research in terrestrial ecology investigates how land-based organisms interact with each other and the environment. Studies in freshwater ecology examine the ecology of rivers, lakes and ponds.
