Marine Biology and Ecology

We focus on understanding the effects of environmental change and human activities on marine ecosystems and biodiversity from the coast to the deep-sea.

Palaeoceanography and Palaeoclimate

We work all around the world to understand how Earth's climate system works naturally. We use this to predict the ways in which it will respond to human-driven change in the future.
