Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology

The Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology focuses on studying how living organisms interact with each other and their environments over time. It explores the diversity of life, how species adapt and evolve, and the health of ecosystems such as oceans, lakes, and forests. Researchers in this department investigate ecological processes, evolutionary mechanisms, and marine systems to better understand nature's complexity. Their work helps inform conservation efforts, manage natural resources responsibly, and address environmental challenges. Overall, it combines biology, geology, and environmental science to deepen our understanding of life on Earth.
