Research Hub
Our researchers are based at the Research Hub, UHI Inverness, a collaborative open office which is equipped with high-specification computers for bioinformatics, modelling, statistical analysis and geographic information systems, and provides meeting rooms with excellent facilities for both online and hybrid meetings.
Laboratory space
Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for molecular genetic analyses in support of biodiversity research. In 2022/23 we will double existing capacity to carry out molecular biodiversity monitoring. This will include increased use of eDNA and metabarcoding to identify and measure the abundance of a species in an ecosystem and the ecological impact of environmental changes.
Fieldwork
We have a wide range of equipment for freshwater and terrestrial fieldwork including boats, gillnets, electrofishing gear, camera traps, aerial and aquatic drones, and a mobile field laboratory.
