Funded Activity Summary

Scientific voyages in the Antipodes. Thomas Huxley, John McGillivray and the Darwinian Revolution. This project examines the scientific British survey expeditions to Australasia during the nineteenth century.

Environmental change and scientific and cultural heritage in our region will be traced back to these early scientific voyagers.
