Our Research
Our internationally respected Palaeoscience team is the largest in Australia.
Together, we cover almost every facet of palaeontology and palaeoanthropology: from microfossils to Ice Age megafauna to dinosaurs, and from giant arthropods to sabretooth cats to Neanderthals.
We use cutting-edge tools and approaches to answer questions of global significance relating to palaeoclimate, the Cambrian Explosion, mass extinctions, plate tectonics and the evolution of a vast range of vertebrate and invertebrate species. Our scientists are on the leading edge in the development of 21st Century approaches in areas ranging from the virtual reconstruction of fossils, to computer-based biomechanics and 3D geometric morphometrics.
