Overview

Environmental biologists and ecologists study how organisms interact with each other and with their physical environments. Their knowledge is vital for managing the impacts of human activity on flora and fauna, including repairing habitat degradation and preserving biodiversity.

The field and analytical research undertaken by environmental scientists includes identifying and monitoring plants and animals, with the assistance of technologies such as environmental DNA (eDNA) and geographic information systems (GIS).

This information then provides the basis for conservation and management plans that protect at-risk ecosystems and guide sustainable development.

In addition, this Environmental Biology and Ecology (Advanced) programme from Curtin University gives you the flexibility to study specialisations that match your broader scientific interests – for example, in geoscience or chemistry.
