- Study abroad in Australia and New Zealand is particularly relevant for students interested
in pursuing research in environmental science and policy, sustainability, natural
and cultural ecology, marine ecology or biological sciences. David L. Smith,

of program sites in Australia and recommends the following four:
School for Field Studies (SFS), Tropical Rainforest Studies Program,
Yungaburra, Queensland
School of Geography & Environmental
Studies, University of Tasmania, Hobart,
Tasmania. The University of Tasmania is uniquely positioned for students who wish
to study Antarctica and the ecological and climatological
importance of the Southern Ocean.
