Would you like to earn a PhD doing research at the cutting edge of biodiversity, ecosystem services, land-use change and agriculture? We are looking for… Read More »Modelling the impact of agri-environment schemes on plant communities and soils
Coastal erosion and flooding are global environmental and economic threats. The safety of coastal communities is of paramount importance in the U.K., given the relevance… Read More »Modelling systems of natural and engineered beaches
Soil hosts a quarter of the planet’s biodiversity and represents one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth. Understanding how soils function and respond to… Read More »Modelling microscale resource use in soil
Biogeochemical processes in rivers, estuaries and coastal seas play key roles in the global carbon C cycle by controlling the flux of material from land… Read More »Lignin as a tracer for terrestrial vegetation across the river-estuarine-coastal continuum
This is an exciting opportunity to use ecology-driven science to understand why moths are in such dramatic decline and to offer solutions that can reverse… Read More »Investigating the mechanisms behind moth declines: plants, landscape, pollution and climate
Researching crustal deformation processes and the degree of their proposed coupling with climate is the focus of this research, using the type example of India-Asia… Read More »Investigating tectonic-climate interactions using sedimentary records in the Tarim Basin, China
In the transition stage towards a dominant use of renewable clean energy, the emission of greenhouse gases is currently mitigated by capture and storage of… Read More »Impact of geochemical alteration on rock mechanical characteristics in geologic seals capping CO2 storage reservoirs
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)
