PhD in Food Web Networks and Environmental Change: Exploring how natural and anthropogenic stress influence the structure and dynamics of communities.
The interactions among species define a food web network. In these networks, species have dynamics (e.g. numbers and biomass), the community has structure (e.g. Read more
PhD in Sustainability
Developed for professionals working to create a more sustainable future, PhD in Sustainability students will investigate the social, ecological, technical, and political dimensions of sustainable transformations, the relationship of science and society in advancing more sustainable futures, and novel and inclusive approaches to community-based problem solving and sustainable development. Read more
Investigating perceptions and barriers to climate adaptation and mitigation strategies in urban and peri-urban environments
Throughout the history of nature conservation there has been major conflicts of interest between different stakeholders, for instance, between national governments and local communities. Read more
Development of Novel Thermochemical Heat Storage for Waste Heat Recovery
The rising demand for sustainable and efficient energy management has brought attention to the vast amounts of waste heat produced by industries. Read more
Genetic and acoustic diversity in an invasive parrot
The ring-necked parakeet Psittacula krameri is one of the world’s most successfully introduced species. Native to the Indian sub-continent and sub-Saharan Africa, this species is the UK’s only naturalised parrot, and populations are continuing to increase rapidly across Europe. Read more
Data-Centric Solutions for Earth Observation Challenges: Developing Cutting-Edge Techniques for Remote Sensing Analysis [SELF-FUNDED STUDENTS ONLY]
In today's data-driven landscape, the importance of data-centric machine learning methodologies cannot be overstated where they prioritize the quality, diversity, and accessibility of data, recognizing that the performance and reliability of machine learning models heavily depend on the data they are trained on. Read more
Graph Networks meets Multi-modal Remote Sensing data for Environmental Sustainability [SELF-FUNDED STUDENTS ONLY]
Graph theory and graph networks play a crucial role in examining multi-modal remote sensing data owing to their capacity to depict intricate connections and interactions within the data. Read more
Various projects in theoretical ecology and modelling
I am interested in students with experience in quantitative methods and a passion for ecology and conservation. Quantitative methods include mathematical analysis and computer simulation. Read more
Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Mapping Hydromorphology and Hydraulic Habitat
Hydromorphology is synonymous with physical habitat in rivers and describes the combination of the morphological and hydrological / hydraulic components of river channels. Read more
Self-funded PhD- Population biology of coconut crabs
Population biology of coconut crabs. Anthropogenic change has led to highly fragmented habitats but widely dispersed disjointed populations living there are a challenge to monitor because sub-population sizes may be very small, difficult to access, and time consuming to sample regularly. Read more
PhD in Applied Sciences
The University of Brighton’s research responds directly to the most pressing global challenges, with impact at the heart of our ambitions and success. Read more
Identifying policy barriers to the uptake of rewilding – a social-ecological approach
Research Group:
Applied Ecology Research Group (AERG)
Research Group. Applied Ecology Research Group (AERG). Proposed supervisory team. Dr Helen Wheeler (AERG, Anglia Ruskin University). Read more
Continuous automated monitoring and prediction of the impact of climate change on ocean biodiversity
Tracking the location and presence of fish and marine mammals is necessary for both scientific study and conservation. The objective of this research is training integrated ML models with images, acoustics and text to answer questions about the diversity and abundance of life below water in monitored regions at scale.
