Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Geology and Geophysics

We research a wide range of societally impactful areas of geology and geophysics for a sustainable future. The latest facilities and technology development support our activities.

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.
