Impacts of climate change on the resilience of natural enemy communities for biocontrol of insect pests
There are significant challenges to finding new solutions for sustainable agriculture, whilst ensuring agricultural productivity on a global scale. Conservation biological control...
Understanding and managing connectivity across habitat types: the case of avian pollinators with altitudinal movement in the tropical Andes mountains
Are you interested in spatial ecology and in developing methods that can inform the next generation of conservation approaches for marine, terrestrial and freshwater systems? Do yo...
Decreasing Rainfall to Year 2100 - Role of the Congo Air Boundary (DRY-CAB)
Climate change is expected to impose a considerable burden on many regions of the planet including semi-arid areas and where rainfall is vital for subsidence agriculture, hydropowe...
Methane in and above the polar oceans
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential ~85 times that of carbon dioxide on a 20-year timescale. Atmospheric methane concentrations are rising, but the...
Falling Basins: revealing hidden faults from patterns of land subsidence from water extraction using Earth Observation data
Many earthquake faults remain to be discovered around the world, sometimes because they are hidden in the landscape, covered by sediments in basins. Cities are built on these basin...
Probing planetary cores with global magnetic fields
The global magnetic fields produced by terrestrial planets exhibit remarkable variability in both strength and structure. These fields are all generated by turbulent motions in liq...
Future proofing Scotland's remote coastal areas: evaluation of the potential for nature-based coastal adaptation
Restoring natural coastal systems is increasingly viewed as an effective strategy to adapt and enhance resilience to the adverse effects of climate change in coastal areas, which a...
Optimising Flood Risk Management Interventions in Catchments and Cities
Detailed flood models are used to assess increased future flood risk in cities and catchments, and to design flood attenuation features including green infrastructure (GI) or natur...
TickSolve: Environmental Solutions to reduce the risk of current and future tick borne zoonotic pathogens in the UK
The threat posed by tick-borne diseases (TBD) in temperate regions such as the UK is growing rapidly. Human exposure is often linked to woodlands that support high densities of tic...
Effects of ecological contexts and savannah management on mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are part of a multitrophic ecosystem that includes hosts that provide their blood-meal, plants that provide sugar sources, and parasites. In their role as vectors, paras...
Stratigraphy and dinosaur palaeontology of the Wealden Group, Isle of Wight
The Wealden Group of the Isle of Wight comprises fluvial and shallow marine strata deposited during the Early Cretaceous. The floodplains and beaches of the Wealden were home to a...

Mapping and Deliberating Public Values for Uplands Management in Scotland
This PhD focuses on Scottish land governance, examining effective ways for publics to engage with land use issues in order to support the governance of Scottish land reform, woodla...
DRivers and Impacts of Ionospheric Variability with EISCAT-3D (DRIIVE)
One of the biggest unanswered questions in the solar-terrestrial science that underpins Space Weather research is: How does the high latitude ionosphere vary on small scales in res...
NSFGEO-NERC Earthquake nucleation versus episodic slow slip: what controls the mode of fault slip?
Earthquakes, produced by rapid slip on faults, account for the majority of deaths from a range of natural disasters which amounts to about 60,000 people a year worldwide - around 9...
CULTIVATE
Equality, diversity and inclusivity affects us all. In environmental sciences, a large part of our students' studies or academics' jobs involves being outside, in often p...
Eco-evolutionary responses of soil microbes to drought stress
Soil microbes are critical in maintaining the carbon balance in terrestrial ecosystems. This balance of microbial decomposition and stabilisation of organic matter can shift under...
DEFIANT: Drivers and Effects of Fluctuations in sea Ice in the ANTarctic
Since the start of the industrial revolution the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has steadily risen. Scientists have confirmed that the recent loss of Arctic sea ice in summer...
