  Natural adaptive capability of coral reef islands to sea-level rise and implications for future human occupation (MASSELINKP19ARIES)
University of Plymouth Faculty of Science and Engineering
  Prof G Masselink
Application Deadline: 8 January 2019
Background. It is a widespread expectation that sea-level rise will drown low-lying islands formed on coral reef platforms and that increased flooding will render them uninhabitable within the coming decades.

  Tracing Pacific-Indian Ocean heat and salt exchange by the Indonesian Throughflow and its impact on global climate variability
University of Leicester School of Geography, Geology and the Environment
  Prof J Zinke, Dr A Boom
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is the only low latitude Pacific-Indian Ocean connection, and has a profound impact on the (re)distribution of heat, salt and dissolved anthropogenic-CO2 between these basins.

  Crumbling reefs: quantifying risk of cold-water coral habitat loss in a changing ocean
University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences
  Dr S Hennige
Application Deadline: 10 January 2019
Cold-water corals (CWC) are key habitat-forming organisms found throughout the world’s oceans from 30 to 3000 m deep. The complex three-dimensional frameworks made by these vulnerable marine ecosystems support high biodiversity and commercially important species.
