Research in the Department of Zoology
The Department of Zoology maintains a strong research culture.
Dunedin provides the perfect natural environment to carry out research - there are large inlets, sandy bays and rocky shores nearby with abundant wildlife including seals, sea lions, penguins and a royal albatross colony all within kilometres of the Department.

A few hours travel takes you to glaciers, fiords, mountains, rivers and lakes. Of course we are not just limited to Dunedin and its environs - many researchers' projects are carried out in places such as Antarctica, Sub-Antarctic islands, Fiji and South America.
