Implications of Arctic heat waves and fires on vegetation and the carbon budget - SENSE CDT
The Arctic has seen extreme heat and fire events. This project investigates the link between heat, drought, fire and carbon release, at present and what this means for the future. Read more
Understanding Life in the Freezer: locomotor performance as the key to understanding the possible influences of climate change in high Arctic species
Scientific research has focused on the Arctic recently as this region is at high risk from the effects of climate change. However, a major challenge holds back our ability to understand the potential impacts of environmental change; our lack of knowledge about what animals do in the wild. Read more
Animal movement, route choice and energetic landscape in the Arctic
Scientific research has focused on the Arctic recently as this region is at high risk from the effects of climate change. However, a major challenge holds back our ability to understand the potential impacts of environmental change; our lack of knowledge about what animals do in the wild. Read more
Epigenetic regulation of microglial gene expression in Alzheimer’s disease
Neuroinflammation is a prominent event Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis driven by activation of microglia, the brains resident immune cells. Read more
Development and Application of a Combined Goal Programming and Clustering Methodology
Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3-year full-time or 6-year part time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Mathematics and Physics, and will be supervised by Professor Dylan Jones. Read more
Microbial activity on glaciers and ice sheets: an integrated modelling and empirical approach.
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
Glaciers and ice sheets are important microbe-dominated ecosystems, that are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change. Supraglacial (glacier surface) ecosystems contain organisms from all three domains of life, which drive carbon and nutrient cycling, and cause ice darkening, thus enhancing ice mass loss. Read more
