The Department of Natural Sciences includes members engaged in three groups of natural sciences \u2013 biological sciences, biotechnical sciences, and geosciences. Biological sciences comprise molecular biology, microbiology, cell biology, molecular genetics (in particular applied genomics and population genetics), immunology, biochemistry, research of macrofauna and microfauna, ecology, physiology, taxonomy and ecology of zooplanktons, palaeogenetics, biological anthropology, and forensic anthropology. Biotechnical sciences include the area of forestry, mainly the branch of forest ecology and breeding, and the field of agriculture (agronomy), within which the members study soil, systems of herb growing, and soil amelioration \u2013 drainage and irrigation. Geosciences comprise the areas of geology, palaeontology, geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, and geophysics. Within the scope of geophysics, some of the members study the atmosphere and the sea, their interaction, extreme weather and climate change; whereas other members engage in seismology and physics of the Earth\u2019s interior. The Department considerably involves in the interdisciplinary field of the protection and preservation of nature and environment. Corresponding members and associate members take active part in the Department’s operation.<\/p>\n

There are five scientific research units; the Trsteno Arboretum; five scientific councils; three boards; one committee; and one national board within the scope of the Department’s competence.<\/p>\n

The Department includes the following scientific research units:<\/p>\n
