Ozone pollution has negative effects on many species of semi-natural vegetation, and grasslands have been shown to be particularly sensitive. Nitrogen deposition is also a… Read More »Impact of ozone on nitrogen dynamics of grassland vegetation
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is losing ice at a rapid rate. As these large volumes of ice melt, they can disrupt key pathways in the… Read More »Ice-ocean interactions: effects of climate change on Antarctic ice-shelf dynamics
The past 60 years have seen dramatic changes in the amount of atmospheric pollutants being deposited on semi-natural habitats. Between 1960 and 1990, industrialisation and… Read More »How long does it take for recovery of soil processes from excess nitrogen deposition?
Britain, in common with many other parts of the globe, faces the challenge of managing its land for multiple ends in the face of a… Read More »Growing your cake and eating it: a model-based investigation of trade-offs in biodiversity and potential ecosystem service supply across Britain
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global challenge. It is estimated that globally 700,000 human deaths per year are due to AMR, predicted to rise… Read More »Geospatial modelling the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the environment
Ecology has traditionally assessed communities based on species identity, but increasingly the traits of those species are being assessed instead, to measure functional diversity. By… Read More »Functional changes in coral reef marine protected areas
Oceanic islands provide replicated ‘natural experiments’ that can be harnessed to disentangle general evolutionary patterns from unique evolutionary outcomes. In particular, high-altitude oceanic islands provide… Read More »Evolutionary dynamics in changing environments: oceanic islands as natural experiments
Recent advancements in telemetry technology has dramatically enhanced our understanding of movement ecology, and generated novel opportunities for exploring how animals are responding to a… Read More »Demographic consequences of variation in individual foraging strategies of northern fulmars
There is a growing interest in linking hydrogeological and geomechanical models to improve understanding of landslide failure processes, but progress has been limited by an… Read More »Coupled hydrogeophysical and geomechanical modelling of slope stability for improved early warning of landslides
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship within the NERC-ENVISION Doctoral Training Partnership with a project entitled: “Coastal flood mitigation potential of artificial tidal lagoons”.… Read More »Coastal flood mitigation potential of artificial tidal lagoons
