Research of the environmental sciences is dedicated to discovering and understanding how our planet works as a system, how ecosystems and species are formed and continue to evolve. We look at how our planet relates to the universe around us and the impacts of human behaviour. Particular strengths include our research into climate change, environmental policy and natural resource management. Many of our environmental sciences academics provide solutions and advice to government, industry and not-for-profit organisations.
