We are keen to get students involved with laboratory, field and computational activities. Staff members within ELD make leading contributions to a wide range of bachelor level and masters level courses. ELD staff also support student research projects. These projects range from investigations of climate-vegetation dynamics, through soil properties, to tracking human impacts on ecosystems; and often include laboratory, field and/or computational practical elements. If you are interested in doing research for your bachelors project within ELD please check out the staff pages and contact the member of staff you are most interested in working with directly.
