Research Centres
The School maintains strong research and teaching links with the internationally recognised Antarctic Research Centre here at Victoria University. We also work closely with the New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute on campus.
Antarctic Research Centre
The Antarctic Research Centre (ARC) is a centre of research excellence within the Faculty of Science and reports directly to the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty. It is located within the School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences, with which it shares academic staff and facilities.
The Centre also contributes to both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research supervision in sedimentology, glaciology, paleoclimatology and Antarctic affairs. Visit the Antarctic Research Centre website for further information.
New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute
The New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute (CCRI) was established in 2008 by Victoria University to develop interdisciplinary research into all aspects of climate change. In particular, the CCRI recognises a need to better integrate social and natural sciences, and for independent analyses of response options as non-prescriptive inputs to New Zealand policy.
