Disentangling land use and climatic roles in sediment delivery to upland British lakes
Changes to agricultural land use practices and climate represent serious challenges to the future management of rural landscapes, as humans have dramatically altered the European landscape over thousands of years. Read more
Did climate change cause the 2020 Stonehaven derailment? - SENSE CDT
Scientific Background. Extreme precipitation events have significant impacts on human society as shown by the tragic derailment near Stonehaven in August 2020. The proximate cause of the derailment was debris from an overflowing drain (RAIB, 2022) with a train forced to return due to a landslide blocking the track. Read more
Climate change impacts (and variability) on livelihoods and key sectors of the economy / economic models
Several International reports (E.g. IPCC) identify climate change as one of the defining global challenges during recent times. Read more
Climate change adaptation in construction organisations
The effects of climate change, including extreme weather conditions, temperature increases, and floods, are increasingly evident worldwide. Read more
PhD in land-based CO2 removal strategies for climate change mitigation
Drastic and rapid emission reductions and the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR) technologies are essential for meeting the Paris Agreement on Climate and net-zero commitments (IPCC, 2021). Read more
Tackling Climate Change By Boosting Climate Efficacy
As the effects of climate change mount and future risks loom large, the question of how best to engage the public is vital. Read more
Quantifying and managing multi-taxon range shifts in marine reef ecosystems
This PhD project is a marine ecology project that will employ cutting-edge modelling and unique marine datasets to model range shifts of marine species under climate change and develop novel conservation mechanisms to manage them. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Bee fertility in a warming world – how climate change affects reproduction
With increasing regularity of summer heatwaves, we are starting to see the devastating impacts of climate change. However, most biological predictions of how climate change will impact species are based on the temperatures which are lethal for a species. Read more
Leveraging species’ geography to predict and mitigate biodiversity loss with global change
This studentship will investigate how species’ geography can be used to predict and mitigate the negative effects of ongoing global changes, including climate and land use change. Read more
How does rapid evolution affect ecological dynamics and stability in an era of global environmental change?
PhD position in Eco-Evolutionary Biology. University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, together with the University of British Columbia (Canada), the University of Arkansas (US), National Institute of Genetics (Japan), and MIT (US). Read more
Visual Culture in Times of Political Change
The proposed project will explore the relationship and tensions in visual culture and politics/ideology in moments of intense socio-political change brought about by rebellion, protest, revolution, regime change, ideological ruptures, collapse of political systems and so forth. 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
Multiple river response to restoration and climate change
The UK’s climate is becoming wetter, with rain from extremely wet days increasing by 17%, comparing the period 2008-2017 to 1961-1990. Read more
Will climate change worsen the problem of antibiotic resistance? MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Biosciences
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
