Weather patterns are changing across the globe, and these changes may affect populations of animals. For coastal seabirds, it seems likely that associated changes in… Read More »Understanding responses of coastal seabirds to local and daily-scale meteorological variation
The Benguela upwelling system supports fisheries that are key marine resources of the developing nations of South Africa and Namibia. Benguela fisheries yield has experienced… Read More »Impact of warm salty Indian Ocean water leakage into the South Atlantic on the Benguela Upwelling ecosystem over the last 40 years
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance genes (AMR) amongst pathogenic microorganisms is one of the greatest health issues of this century. Over-use of antibiotics… Read More »How do birds contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms?
Tropical reef-building corals are vulnerable to breakage by waves and some corals also asexually reproduce via fragmentation. Early descriptions of coral reefs noted the ability… Read More »Functional role of uncharted coral reef habitats in the Anthropocene
Successful invasive species often escape top-down pressure in the early stages of invasion. However, emerging evidence suggests that over time local animal consumers can adapt… Read More »Unhappy Bedfellows? Interactions between the invasive species Sargassum muticum and Threatened seagrass beds (Zostera spp).
Coral reef ecosystems are in a state of change. Increasingly frequent and severe disturbances, and escalation of human interactions, are transforming many tropical coral reefs.… Read More »Confronting the Changing Diversity Patterns of Coral Reefs
Are you looking to transfer your experience of computational methods to tackling some important Earth science problems? We are interested in imaging the shallow subsurface… Read More »Seeing into the subsurface – next generation geophysical imaging for environmental and engineering hazard monitoring
This project offers the exciting opportunity to develop fundamental new insight into the certainty of satellite estimates of climate change, with a focus on Earth’s… Read More »A New Framework for Measuring Uncertainty in Satellite Observations of Climate Change.
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… Read More »Country, calypso or carimbó? The role of cultural value shifts in advancing Amazonian deforestation frontiers
The world’s population relies on using nitrogen to boost crop yields and ensure sufficient food production. However, application of nitrogen fertilizer in excess of that… Read More »Stalagmite capture of groundwater nitrogen
