Tropical lakes systems provide vital ecosystem services to some of Earth’s fastest growing and most vulnerable human populations, but in response to climatic and anthropogenic… Read More »Reconstructing 2000 years of hydrological change in Africa – implications for future climate scenarios
This project will investigate the effects of joint climate and land cover change on the thermal vulnerability of animals at a global scale. While rising… Read More »Modelling thermal safety margins of animals worldwide under climate and land use change: past, present and future
Environmental change due to human activities can have devastating impacts on microbial activities that are essential to the earth’s ecosystem functions. Microbial adaptations to stresses… Read More »Microbial survival in stressed environments
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
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
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
This project will explore the coalescence and break up of bubbles as they emerge through cracks in the earth’s crust. This is truly interdisciplinary work,… Read More »Bubbles rising through rocky cracks
