The school maintains electron microscopes, analytical equipment, constant-temperature rooms, experimental areas and a field station. Research may be undertaken in ecology, genetics and plant or animal biology in the following areas: freshwater and marine ecology, plant molecular and developmental genetics, plant physiology, animal behaviour, plant ecology, vertebrate ecology,conservation biology, invasion biology, biology of algae, evolution and conservation genetics, and animal ecophysiology. A brochure providing more detailed information is available from the head of school or other academic staff members in charge of individual projects.
