Understanding freshwater ecosystem health from a microbial perspective
Freshwater environments are exposed to stressors that contribute to the decline of freshwater species, ecosystems, and the services they provide. Understanding the causes of these...
Multi-Species Interactions in a Scandinavian Large-Mammal Community
Over the past century, Europe's large carnivores have returned to regions which have undergone, and continue to undergo, significant change as a result of anthropogenic pertur...
Determination of lipid dysregulation by per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic macroinvertebrates
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) encompass a broad suite of chemicals which have been estimated to include 4,730 unique chemicals, with larger estimates placing thi...
The Exploration of Spaceborne Coherent GNSS Reflectometry for High Resolution Hydrological and Ice Observation
Reflections of microwave-frequency GNSS signals (GPS, Galileo) off the Earth can be collected by a satellite in low Earth orbit and used as a radar source to sense soil moisture, f...
Sea surface temperature pattern influence on monsoon variability and change
Climate change will likely increase monsoon rainfall but lead to greater variability and extremes. However, global climate models (GCMs) disagree on the warming pattern of tropical...
EO4SDGs: Spatiotemporal poverty mapping using earth observation data and deep learning in Africa
This project will build spatiotemporal maps of poverty on a sub-national scale to support the implementation of the SDGs and enable evidence-based decision-making by combining EO d...
Integrating multi-taxa biodiversity conservation into upland ecosystem service land-use models
This studentship will incorporate evidence for biodiversity outcomes across the fullest suite of priority (threatened, rare) taxa, into spatially-explicit land-use models, to optim...
Ice, Ice, Babies! The role of periodic and catastrophic ice loss on species connectivity in polar systems.
Using ice-ocean models to predict changes in larval dispersal under future warming scenarios.The discovery of a sponge assemblage on a boulder beneath the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf...
The impacts of liana cutting intensity on biodiversity and carbon in logged Bornean forests
Most tropical forests have been logged. A major limitation on recovery is the growth of epiphytic lianas, which comprise ~20% of biomass in logged forests. While lianas inhibit tre...
Understanding mycorrhizal associations to ensure the best start in life for trees, their carbon balance and future resilience
A well-functioning forest ecosystem is an amalgamation of climatic and soil factors, with biodiversity at the canopy, understory and soil levels. The resilience and adaptive capaci...
Explainable Population Estimation Using Deep Learning from Satellite Imagery
More than one-third of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators established by the United Nations (UN) are defined in terms of total population or a specific demographic...
Reconstructing Indian Ocean climate variability during the Pliocene
Indian Ocean Climate influences the safety and the food, water, energy and financial security of over two billion people. Models do not simulate the Indian Ocean well, causing diff...
Investigating the role of organic nutrient resources in controlling biodiversity and production in freshwater ecosystems
The value of the ecosystem services derived from fresh waters by human society exceeds all other inland ecosystems on a per unit area basis.Despite their environmental, economic an...
Investigating volcanic lineaments in Guatemala with a focus on Lake Atitlan
The Central American Volcanic Arc (CAVA) is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world particularly towards the southern end where the Caribbean, North American and C...
Machine Learning for Real Time Volcano-Seismic Monitoring.
Seismic data analysis is central to most volcano monitoring operations, giving insight into the internal structure and physical processes occurring at depth and enabling the identi...
Atmospheric transport and tracking of natural and anthropogenic particles
Air pollution can reduce the quality and length of life for humans. It is estimated that in 2019 around 90% of the world population was exposed to concentrations of fine particles...
Volcanic fertilisation of tropical forest biomes
Tropical rainforest biomes are some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, but are also projected to be vulnerable to changing climatic and environmental cond...
Direct measurements of NOx emissions in central London: How are they changing and how can they be used to inform government policy?
Air pollution is currently the largest environmental health stressor on the UK population. At present the main pollutants of concern in urban centres are nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and...
Using environmental DNA (eDNA) to elucidate the role of habitat upon the transmission of pollinator disease
Insect pollinators are an integral component of global ecosystems, and vital to future food security. UK and Worldwide pollinator populations are declining. Declines are widely att...
Restoring degraded Kenyan grassland soils
Soils underpin food production in Africa, and they are under extreme pressure and while there has been considerable research into the management of African soils for crop productio...
