Ecology teaching is underpinned by our research in both theoretical and applied ecology in many different environments, natural and managed, from the Tropics to the Arctic, and from estuaries to mountain tops.

Ecologists are employed in a wide range of interesting jobs by government and non- government nature conservation organisations, local government, environmental protection agencies, environmental consultancies and research agencies. There are also opportunities in environmental education in field centres and schools, and in the communications sector.
