Last week, our MSc Marine Science and Environmental Science students dove headfirst into an Applied Sciences conference, giving them a view of real scientific discourse. This experience was key in honing their presentation and scientific poster skills! 🎓

Breaking News!

Well humanity, we did it, even if just for one day. Yesterday, Nov. 18, was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline.

The long-term average remains below 1.5°C. But not for long.

This week, our students delved into the avian world, discovering Gibraltar's vital role as a stop-over for migrant species. Thank you to the Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society, specifically Vincent Robba and Dr Keith Bensusan, for their expert insights.
