Currently there is an array of persistent organic pollutants that undergo long-range transport in air and seawater and are present in the Earth’s Polar Regions.… Read More »Ice enrichment of chemical pollutants: a significant phenomenon in a warmer Arctic
Major advances in our understanding of how microbiota contribute to the living world have resulted from genomic advances. So-called second-generation sequencing now allows high throughput… Read More »From morphology to microbiome: integrated common garden-genomic studies in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
The accidental drilling into rhyolitic magma at Krafla volcano, Iceland in 2009 has opened exciting possibilities for research that could transform our ability to detect… Read More »Fluid-rock interaction at the magma-geothermal interface
The earth’s oceans and atmosphere are warming, with the volume of snow and ice diminishing. Arctic temperatures have warmed at twice the global rate, with… Read More »Far-field implications of future sea ice extent on the wave climate
The failure of the Rio Convention to halt the loss of global biodiversity resulted in the new Aichi Target: “By 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved,… Read More »Detecting and understanding the impact of environmental change on plants across multiple spatial, temporal and biodiversity scales
Coral reefs house exceptional biodiversity, and provide food and livelihoods to hundreds of millions of people across the tropics. The full range of benefits people… Read More »Capturing ecosystem service delivery from coral reefs
Coral reefs are ocean oases, supporting immense diversity and providing fisheries for small island nations. These important ecosystems are under threat from local anthropogenic impacts… Read More »Biological signals of the island mass effect
Good environmental policy has to be founded on high-quality environmental science, but delivering the research needed by policy makers can be a challenge. The Montreal… Read More »Atmosphere-biosphere interactions: UV, ozone and the earth system
We require a motivated, curious and independent student with interests in lake water quality and environmental change in the tropics to apply for our studentship… Read More »Assessing the sustainability of freshwater aquaculture in the Philippines using palaeolimnology
This project will explore the role of environmental geochemistry in land use decisions by wild African elephants. This is a unique, interdisciplinary project involving environmental… Read More »Are land-use decisions of African elephants based on environmental geochemistry?
