Course content

We research climate change and ecology. Our research looks at how climate has varied over time. We study what has caused this variation, and how it has shaped evolution. In this way, we use the past to understand how climate change will impact the ecosystems upon which we rely.

Our ecology research spans a wide range of applied topics from microbes to insects to elephants.

The School of Biosciences research website contains more information on our research areas. You will also find academic contact details and research interests. You should identify a supervisor to work with and contact them before making a formal application.
