Professor Kathleen Campbell's research is focussed on trying to understand the origins of life on earth and life elsewhere in the cosmos. The geologist and astrobiologist talks about the advantages of studying in NZ.
Where will coral reef-fringed coastlines become uninhabitable from wave-driven flooding? Scientists have developed an efficient and accessible tool to find out.
We’re much more than just New Zealand’s top ranked science faculty. We are a diverse collaborative community, full of budding scientists ready to help you discover your passion and what makes you tick.
Our research and teaching addresses the earth surface and subsurface, climate, social, economic and cultural processes that shape our world. Learn more by visiting Our school.
