Ecology & Environmental Biology

Student Testimonials....

Completing my MRes at the University of Glasgow was a wonderful experience and I recommend the program to students who wish to further their knowledge and research skills.  Numerous learning opportunities were provided across a broad range of subjects and support and guidance from supervisors was invaluable. Completion of two separate research projects allowed me to explore different interests and I was able to complete a research project in temperate and tropical climates. The experience gained throughout my MRes studies contributed to my success in obtaining a PhD scholarship and publishing my results in a peer-reviewed journal. - Lindsay Mickelson (Canada): M. Res.

One project is on the use of photo-identification methods for coral reef fish. The students involved are taking photos of fish in order to determine which species have suitable markings for this technique.

Another project is on the effects of marine protected area networks on coral reef fish. This image shows students setting up a transect ready to practice the survey skills needed.
