These include areas such as active earth processes, ecology, lasers and applications, memory, polar environments, photonics and ultra-cold atoms, energy, ocean and climate change, and obesity, and there are strong connections to research in other areas of the University. Applied research centres add strength and diversity to the range of study options within the division.
