Quantitative Methods for Classifying and Characterizing Delphinid Whistles
The production and perception of sound is common to all species of animal and is simultaneously a valuable resource for ecological investigation.Passive acoustic monitoring technol...
Multistressor impacts of ocean acidification and warming on regeneration and biomineralisation in coastal sea urchins
The studentship will centre on two inter-connected questions: How will sea urchins remineralise and regenerate their tissues in a future multi-stressor environment? And Are the eff...
Investigating the Impacts of Multiple Stressors on Marine Ecosystems
Anthropogenic stressors, such as climate change and pollution, are rapidly eroding natural ecosystems (Orr et al., 2020; Kunze et al., 2021). Understanding the effects of these str...
Modelling and forecasting the Indian Ocean Dipole
The Indian Ocean is considerably underexplored for research compared to its Atlantic and Pacific cousins, yet the countries around its perimeter have large populations (one billion...
Scale-resolving simulations of atmosphere / wind farm interactions
Offshore wind energy is seeing huge growth thanks to a steady reduction in the cost of power generation and it is now acknowledged that it will be critical for the 2050 net zero ta...
Abyssal megafaunal resilience to deep-sea mining
This project will evaluate ecosystem resistance and resilience to disturbance from seabed mining in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) of the Pacific.It will focus on the community...
Butterflies In The City: Landscape Connectivity And Conservation Of Urban Woodland Butterflies.
Butterflies In The City: Landscape Connectivity And Conservation Of Urban Woodland Butterflies.
Taxonomy, biodiversity and population connectivity in the world's largest deep-sea mining frontier the Clarion Clipperton Zone, central
The Clarion-Clipperton Zone, central Pacific abyss, is the world's largest frontier for the seabed mining of metals critical to a future green economy transition (e.g nickel a...
Wildlife disease ecology and gamebird management: a one health approach to Lyme disease
Wildlife is an important source of emerging human diseases. A One Health approach that integrates animal, human and environmental health is thus key for understanding the ecology o...
Country, calypso or carimbó? The role of cultural value shifts in advancing Amazonian deforestation frontiers
This inter-disciplinary project addresses the intractable problem of how to reduce tropical deforestation. Current strategies such as REDD+ are failing and rooted in assumptions of...
Traces of microbial life and activity in Arctic endolithic habitats
Arctic endolithic (rock-dwelling) microbial communities are a key interface between biology and geology, yet their diversity, distribution, and metabolic capabilities remains vastl...
Using satellites to map the spatial characteristics of urban air pollution from aerosols at a time of climate change, health choices and pandemics
Airborne particles play a critical role in environmental science with major implications for climate and air quality. Particulate matter (aerosols) is one of the most important fac...
Climate Change impacts on forest canopy temperatures: from mechanisms to implications
Climate Change impacts on forest canopy temperatures: from mechanisms to implications
Accelerating sea ice loss in the Arctic: models and melt ponds
The student will use the latest UK model HadGEM3 to simulate the LIG using the latest supercomputers and modelling technology. They will investigate the importance of melt ponds fo...
Giant Dykes and Deep Time Tectonics; the Role of Dyke Swarms in Shaping the Early Earth
Magma plumbing systems are commonly dominated by vertical dykes, which deliver magma from depth into shallow-level reservoirs or to be erupted at the surface (Magee et al., 2018a)....
Assessing past and future closures of storm surge barriers
Rising mean sea levels threaten many low-lying coastal areas in many ways, including raising extreme sea-level events. Extreme sea-level events can give rise to serious coastal flo...
The effect of multi-scale roughness on the structure of atmospheric turbulence
It is estimated that "the cities of the future" will host an increasing percentage of the world's population thanks to the proliferation of tall buildings th...
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...
GeoCoLab
The foundations of a discipline shape the way in which knowledge is created, by whom, for what, and dictate who is allowed to generate knowledge. Geoscience as an academic pursuit...
NSFGEO-NERC: Collaborative Research: Accelerating Thwaites Ecosystem Impacts for the Southern Ocean (ARTEMIS)
The Amundsen Sea hosts the most productive polynya in coastal Antarctica, with its vibrant green waters visible from space, and an atmospheric CO2 uptake flux density 10x higher th...
