Monitoring Wildfires through Satellite Views of their Carbon Monoxide Emissions
This project aims to investigate the following research questions: 1) How have global and regional atmospheric CO concentrations, and the sources and sinks of CO, varied in recent...
Utilising Non-Recyclable Waste for Effective Carbon Capture
The growing energy demand due to population expansion has significantly increased fossil fuel consumption, elevating atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. This rise is a key con...
Characterisation of microorganisms driving aerobic DMS degradation in terrestrial and riverine environments
Dimethylsulfide (DMS), a volatile organosulfur compound relevant for atmospheric, biogeochemical, and industrial processes (Schäfer et al., 2010), plays a significant role...
The impacts of wildfire and afforestation in peatland: a multi-stressor approach to the recovery of peatland's soil biota
This project offers the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research aimed at understanding the pressures on peatland ecosystems and their vital role in climate regulation...
Impacts of anthropogenic environmental change on Southern Rockhopper Penguin demography and behaviour
This PhD will investigate how environmental variability influences the foraging behaviour and demographics of the Southern Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) at multiple colo...
Large-scale developmental dynamics of northern peatlands
Peatlands are terrestrial wetlands in which saturated soil conditions prevent the complete decomposition of plant litter, causing carbon-rich peat to accumulate at the Earth's...
Plastic pellet pollution: establishing safe and proportionate clean up responses
The research generated by this exciting transdisciplinary PhD will be at the cutting edge of work to address plastic pellet pollution in the marine environment, with direct relevan...
Using novel simulations to quantify human influence on global climate variability
This exciting PhD project tackles an important topic in the field of climate change research. Observed climate change signals are modulated by internal climate variability. Interna...
Landscape scale gut microbiomics in a wild bird; investigating anthropogenic and ecological effects in Berthelot's pipit
The vertebrate gut microbiome -a complex community of microbes- affects many aspects of host biology with considerable consequences for host health (including pathogen resistance)...
Enhancing seagrass growth and resilience for restoration purposes with microbial manipulations
Globally, seagrass meadows are being lost at an alarming rate, with the UK having lost as much as 40% of its seagrass coverage over the last 30-years.Seagrasses provide a variety o...
The effects of climate-related stressors on sleep in fish
This project explores how environmental factors, like temperature and oxygen, impact sleep in fish - a largely unstudied topic despite sleep's crucial role across animal group...
TBA
Details to be completed when the student submits their project details in March 2025.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Wales: Evaluation of Anthropogenic and Avian Risk Factors
This project explores key risk factors - those caused by wild birds and by human activities and/or attitudes - for a highly dangerous disease that affects people, domestic poultry...
Does habitat specialisation increase risk under global environmental change? Understanding responses of bat assemblages to habitat degradation-Malawi
Full project title: Does habitat specialisation increase risk under global environmental change? Combining genomic and ecological approaches to understand responses of bat assembla...
Mussel restoration, bioremediation and robots (5024)
Project descriptionMussels are a critical component of coastal communities in temperate regions globally - creating spatially complex habitats which enhance biodiversity, act as a...
Dynamic Earth, Surface Processes and Natural Hazards
project will be updated after proposal is submitted in term 3
Understanding sea louse larval biology and natural abundance to inform modelling and assist management of the Scottish salmon industry
The PhD project will take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding sea louse larval ecology and biology with the aim of supporting the salmonid aquaculture industry and wild...
Evolution in the shifting sands: understanding how beach grasses have adapted to life on the coast.
Grasses play a fundamental role in stabilising sand dunes, the most at risk habitat in Europe. They do this by colonising the beach where they are exposed to the extremes of the co...
The impact of climate change on bumblebee behaviour and physiology
Bumblebees are important pollinators, but many species are undergoing dramatic range declines. While the drivers of these declines are multifaceted, climate change is a major contr...
European weather and climate extremes in a net-zero world
The Paris Agreement, adopted by 196 parties at COP21 in 2015, sets out the goal to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees celsius and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5...
