Research within the School of Environmental and Geographical Sciences is of global and regional significance. Our research into environmental monitoring and management focuses on areas such as remote sensing technologies and applications, spatial analysis and visualisation, geospatial technology applications to human environment interactions and disaster management. Another area of interest is ecology and biodiversity conservation in tropical Asia. The latter research is suited to our Malaysian environment and investigates topics such as the ecology and conservation of Asian megafauna (elephants, rhinos and tapirs), plant-animal interactions, defaunation and its consequences for ecosystem processes and conservation conflicts. We also have research expertise in lake and river environments hydrobiogeo chemistry, hydrological modelling, atmospheric science, agro forestry and landscape ecology.<br><br>We offer high-quality doctoral training to postgraduate students who wish to pursue an MPhil, MRes or PhD. As a research student you will work under a supervisor who will assist you in your research and thesis design. The school has close ties to the University's Mindset Research Centre which promotes and conducts cross-faculty interdisciplinary research on tropical environmental issues. We are interested in research projects relating to our core areas of research in environmental technology development and ecology along with biodiversity conservation in tropical Asia.
