FUNCTION OF SILICON TRANSPORTERS IN WHEAT IN RESPONSE TO DROUGHT AND HERBIVORY
Globally, wheat provides 4.5 billion people with 20% of calories and protein, but production is in long term decline due to environmental stress, including drought and pest attack. Read more
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
The increasing susceptibility of tropical rainforests to fire and their post-fire recovery
Contact. Professor Susan Laurance (susan.laurance@jcu.edu.au),. College of Science and Engineering. James Cook University, Cairns, Qld 4878. Read more
Ecohydrology and Ecosystem Function on the Fletcherview Savanna Rangeland and Cattle Station
Almost all terrestrial life lives within the Earth’s thin ‘skin’, a 100-200m high zone, stretching from bedrock, through aquifers, soil and the biosphere to the top of plant canopies in the atmosphere. Read more
MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more

BOOSTING C4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS BY ALTERING PEP CARBOXYLASE
ABOUT THE PROJECT. The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (HIE) is offering a research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to work within a research group addressing how to improve the primary carboxylase of C4 photosynthesis. Read more
A Causal Framework for Understanding Natural Hazard Impacts
**SCHOLARSHIP IS AVAILABLE UNTIL FILLED BY A SUITABLE CANDIDATE**. Whenever there is a large flood, bushfire, drought or other climate-related hazard, inevitable questions arise over the causes of the event—for example, whether climate change contributed to or exacerbated the hazard. Read more
Powering nationwide water resource systems with low-carbon electricity
A reliable water supply and a successful energy transition are two necessary conditions for a sustainable future. Yet we know little about how the switch to intermittent renewables (wind, solar) for our energy supply will affect the operation of our water infrastructure. Read more
Development of non-sewered sanitation for developed countries
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 Civil Engineering and Surveying, and will be supervised by Dr Peter Cruddas. Read more
Energy-SuDS: The potential of urban Green Infrastructure for decarbonising heating and cooling.
There is no more important challenge in engineering than that presented by climate change. Read more
MScR: Seeing forest recovery through the dung: post-disturbance trajectories in Amazonian dung beetles
The climate and biodiversity crisis are the two most pressing societal challenges we currently face. While tropical forests house most of the global biodiversity, insects constitute most of all known terrestrial animals and play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning. Read more
