A third research theme concerns environmental remote sensing from aircraft and satellites, and research is currently underway on the use of such techniques for vegetation survey in the New Forest. Geological research is undertaken in the School of Ocean and Earth Sciences including wide ranging research interests on a global scale which often interface with different aspects of environmental geology. Of particular relevance is the recently established radiation monitoring facility which involved cooperative research investigations between the University and sponsoring bodies. Oceanography research groupings cover a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. Research in and between each of these groups involves areas of interest to Environmental Sciences.
Biological research is broadly based and has an ecological emphasis.
