Research, Innovation and Impact
Biodiversity research at UCD is concentrated in the UCD School of Biology and Environmental Sciences and in the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science, but there are active collaborations for research, innovation, impact and engagement across the university, including with the UCD School of Civil Engineering, the UCD School of Architecture, Planning, Environmental Policy, the UCD School of English, Drama and Film and the UCD School of Geography and through the UCD Earth Institute’s Ecosystems and Evolution theme.
UCD’s researchers study all forms of life, including plants, microbes, insects, fish, bats and deer. They work around the world on how marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems function, how they support our prosperity and well-being, how they are affected by human activity and how they can be protected, conserved and restored. UCD projects with a biodiversity focus include examining its role in maintaining healthy soil and food production, (opens in a new window)coastal eco-engineering, restoration of wetlands and management of (opens in a new window)deer populations.
The UCD Earth Institute, iCRAG and the UCD Energy Institute were among the founding members of the All-Island Climate and Biodiversity Research Network (AICBRN), which brings together leading research centres across the whole island of Ireland to tackle the climate and biodiversity emergency where a trans-national approach is essential and which has successfully established the major (opens in a new window)SFI Research Centre Climate+.
Members of UCD’s community are actively engaged with policy and practice for the conservation of biodiversity.
