The Envirotron is integral to several courses on offer from the School of Applied Sciences including BSc(Hons) Environmental Science and findings from ongoing projects will inform what students are taught - providing them with an inside advantage on research that will have local and global implications.

Current projects include work on pollution, plant diseases and stress biology and partners include Wildlife Trusts, the Eden Project, the National Botanic Garden of Wales, the Environment Agency and the Natural Environment Research Council.

The Envirotron will also be used to develop biosensors for nutrients in crops and to monitor the biogeochemistry of greenhouse gas emissions.
