Why study at ECU?
About this PhD Unit Set
Environmental Sciences research at the School of Science has been ranked as world class, focusing particularly on the interactions among different forms of flora and fauna, the environment and humans.
Working in a range of environments from woodlands to wetlands and the ocean, our researchers aim to improve the sustainable use of our natural environment in the face of urban development and climate change. Environmental Studies research at ECU concentrates on: Marine and freshwater systems; Forests and woodlands; Environmental management and sustainability; Ecological restoration; and Blue carbon and paleo-reconstruction. Specific postgraduate research topics related to the above topics are developed in conjunction with the postgraduate coordinator or potential supervisor. The School has a range of facilities, including laboratories, vehicles and vessels, field equipment, and state-of-the-art analytical chemistry facilities. The school also places a high emphasis on collaborations with industry, government agencies and not-for-profit organisations, which enhance the postgraduate experience.
