Choosing an ecology research topic can be difficult when you have a general area in mind but are unsure which direction to take. This resource brings together a broad range of ideas across climate change, biodiversity, conservation, wildlife, forests, marine and freshwater ecosystems, pollution, soil, restoration and other areas of environmental science. It gives students a practical starting point for exploring possibilities, comparing different areas of interest and finding an idea that can be shaped into a realistic research project. The guidance also helps with narrowing a broad subject, considering available evidence and matching the scope of a topic to your academic level and resources.
