Neuroendocrine disruption in marine shellfish: uncovering cellular and developmental mechanisms of action using a sentinel bioindicator species
A major component of anthropogenic change is the release of pollutants into the environment. Endocrine Disruptors (EDs) are important pollutants found in wastewater effluents that...
Centre for Ecologically Relevant Multiple Stressor Effects on Wetland Wildscapes (ECO-WILD)
Doctoral Training Partnerships: a range of postgraduate training is funded by the Research Councils. For information on current funding routes, see the common terminology at https:...
Real time tracking & monitoring of microplastics in aquatic environments
Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging contaminant of increasing concern that are ubiquitous within freshwater and marine ecosystems. Rivers are recognised as a fundamental transport...
What is needed to save the world's birds?
We are experiencing a biodiversity and extinction crisis. Conservation is helping, with 21-32 bird species saved from extinction since 1993. Despite this, one in eight of the world...
Redrawing the lines of battle in coral reef fish communities
Coexistence of competing species in ecological communities is made possible by co-evolved "rules of engagement". During competition, these rules enable contest resolution...
Characterising temporal and spatial characteristics and environmental drivers of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in Lough Neagh by mining satellite imager
In recent years, Lough Neagh, has been subject to a series of harmful algal blooms, with an unprecedented cyanobacteria (Microcystis species) bloom in 2023. With protected wildfowl...
Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolutionary Processes
The project title will be updated after the student submits their project proposal in term 3.
Oxidation of tear film by atmospheric pollutants - development of dry eye disease.
The studentship seeks to investigate the interaction between atmospheric pollutants and the aqueous lipid covered layer protecting mammalian eyes. Eyes are one of the most exposed...
Extinction risk and threatened evolutionary history in epiphytic flowering plants
Epiphytes are plants that germinate and root non-parasitically on other plants. They comprise c. 8% of all angiosperm species and are particularly important elements of plant commu...
TBA
Details to be completed when the student submits their project details in March 2025.
Coastal Vigilance: Harnessing AI, Remote Sensing, and Citizen Science for Enhanced Observation and Monitoring of Land-to-Coastal Pollutant Transport
Upstream pressures on coastal ecosystems need to be understood and managed within the context of a changing climate and land use. These impacts on water quality are moderated by ca...
Unravelling Glacier and Climate History of the Californian Sierra Nevada during the Last Deglaciation
The Sierra Nevada in California is a mountain range that extends for almost 600 km latitudinally (36-40'N), parallel to, and at a distance of about 250 km from, the Pacific coast....
Synthesis of chemosensor molecules for the detection of PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl substances)

How does the keratinous beak of birds affect their functional performance?
Bird beaks are a composite structure where a bony core is surrounded by a keratinous sheath, the rhamphotheca. It is the rhamphotheca that comes into direct contact with the birds'...
Dynamic Earth, Surface Processes and Natural Hazards
Project will be added after proposal is submitted in term 3
A functional and ecological investigation into Cenozoic mammal evolution.
The project will be an exploration of primarily post-cranial anatomical changes occurring in mammals from the mid-late Cenozoic through to the early Eocene. These changes will be c...
Effects of Ozone on carbon sequestration by mangroves
This PhD investigates the effects of ozone pollution on the carbon sequestration capacity of mangroves, with a focus on their role as critical carbon sinks in mitigating climate ch...
Rare Earth Element Mineralisation in Carbonatites of Mozambique (4952)
As society moves from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy, demand for the raw materials that are critical for this energy transition is rapidly increasing. Among these, the rare eart...
Rapid deglaciation and sea-level change on the Outer Hebrides, Scotland
Reconstructing the behaviour of former ice sheets and trajectory of sea-level change is vitally important for constraining numerical models and refining predictions of future seal...
The Physical Climate System
The project will be updated after the proposal has been submitted in term 3.
