A SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF WETLAND PRESSURES IN THE CAMBODIAN LOWER MEKONG DELTA
Over half the world's wetlands occur in the tropics, with multitudes of people and species relying on these resources, yet there is little research about how these wetlands ca...
The role of freshwater connectivity in facilitating the range expansion of invertebrate invasive species
Invasive non-native species (INNS) are a significant threat for the diversity of freshwater ecosystems, often disrupting the structure and functioning of native communities (Jackso...
Mineral prospectivity of the Caledonide intrusions of the UK and Ireland
The Caledonide intrusions of Britain and Ireland remain largely underexplored, with significant potential for mineral enrichments in the shallow subsurface (Deady et al, 2023).The...
Quantum Epigenetic Regulation of Micro-Aeration Microbiome for Methane Formation Control and Its Techno-Economic Implications Toward Achieving Net-Zer
Motivation: The urgency of addressing climate change, enhancing energy security, and mitigating environmental threats calls for a collective strategy to ensure a sustainable future...
The form, function and vulnerability of urban trees under future climate change
Trees are an integral part of the urban landscape, and deliver a number of important health benefits and ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and storage, cooling throu...
Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolutionary Processes
project will be updated after proposal is submitted in term 3
The demography and dynamics of Tawny owl populations linked by dispersal and experiencing spatially variable food limitation and predation: a 40 year
Title: The demography and dynamics of Tawny owl populations linked by dispersal and experiencing spatially variable food limitation and predation: a 40-year studyPredicting the res...
A predator-prey arms race in Mesozoic oceans
The diversity of modern marine animals has increased dramatically over the past 230 million years, beginning with an event called the Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR). Over this pe...
A deep dive into the anthropogenic threats facing endangered freshwater dolphins in the highly managed Indus River of Pakistan
This PhD project is designed to answer questions that are of vital importance for conservation and management of freshwater dolphins in the Indus River.It is applied research and a...
Rocky shore biodiversity: Separating the effects of anthropogenic impacts from natural variation and climate change impacts
The marine environment of Orkney has been subject to a variety of pressures over the years and there is a history of marine monitoring programmes investigating the potential impact...
Presence and drivers of geographic variation in delphinid vocal signals
Understanding the variation present in animal signals can provide insight into drivers behind it, such as the social structure, ecology, distribution and genetic diversity present...
Analysing past biodiversity in North-Eastern Scotland using DNA metabarcoding and metagenomics
Environmental ancient DNA can be used to reconstruct past biodiversity (Parducci 2019). DNA can be extracted from various contexts, including naturally accumulated peat and lake se...
Environmental Health and Infectious Disease: How Chemical Cocktails Help Drive Emerging Zoonoses in Mammals
"Come investigate the fascinating and important links between environmental pollution, immunotoxicity, and zoonotic viral infections. As part of the OneZoo Centre for Doct...
The effects of climate warming and heatwaves on in situ benthic marine community development
Understanding how, and predicting, the future impact of climate warming on biodiversity is one of the great challenges for environmental sciences, for ecologists and for society. C...
Efficacy of Nature-based Treatment Systems for Chemicals used for Zoonoses control
Veterinary pharmaceuticals increasingly used in animal husbandry to control infectious diseases can cause pollution of aquatic environments: surface water, groundwater and drinking...
Adaptation in the extreme: transgenerational impacts of multistressors in rockpool environments
Intertidal supra-littoral wetland ecosystems are defined by extremely dynamic and variable environmental conditions driven by tidal, climate, and terrestrial input cycles. They are...
Understanding the role of non-native tree introductions in driving new species interactions
The distributions of many plant species are changing due to human activities, including through intentional plantings outside of native ranges.This movement creates the potential f...
The Physical Climate System
project will be added after proposal is submitted in term 3
Reducing ammonia emissions is key to meet the UK's new air quality target
Ammonia (NH3) plays a key role in secondary PM2.5 formation (Particulate Matter less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter), however there are large uncertainties in the quantities of N...
Patchiness of marine plankton and its influence on the ocean carbon cycle
Marine ecosystems play a key role in regulating the Earth's climate. Marine ecosystems live largely at the ocean's surface. Their activities generate a flux of carbon bet...
