Security and Privacy in App-enabled ecosystems
App-enabled ecosystems have taken over most of the ways we interact with devices and the internet. Users can now find and install apps on their smart devices (phones, watches, TVs, etc.), browsers (as extensions and webapps) or within other applications (suites, productivity tools, etc.). Read more

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Knowledge Creation, Sharing, and Learning
Overview. The Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at the University of Strathclyde invites applications for a fully funded PhD to research how knowledge is created, shared, and used within entrepreneurial ecosystems. Read more
Carbon leakage in forest ecosystems – towards a better understanding of the real contribution of forests to mitigate climate change
Reference number. SCEBE/21SF/009/AO. Aim and Scope. The ability of forest ecosystems to store carbon (C; e.g. CO2) above and belowground makes afforestation one of the leading measures to fight climate change. Read more
Ecosystem functioning: a Southern and Northern Hemisphere freshwater comparison
Project Background. Freshwater ecosystems provide key ecosystem services but are among the most threatened globally due to pollution, eutrophication, overexploitation, land-use change and invasive species (Dudgeon et al. Read more
Advancing the sustainability of cities – Understanding the impacts of urban light pollution on freshwater ecosystems
Supervisory Team. Dr. Andrew Vowles and Prof. Paul Kemp. Project description. The world has undergone wide-scale urbanisation in recent decades, and the percentage of people living in cities is predicted to grow from 30% in 1950 to 68% by 2050. Read more

Characterising the aquatic–terrestrial biodiversity of dynamic freshwater ecosystems
Temporary rivers experience natural transitions between lotic, lentic and terrestrial conditions, with this instream habitat diversity supporting high biodiversity. Read more
The exchange of bioaerosols between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere
Bioaerosols comprise of viruses, bacteria and bacteria agglomerates, fungal and plant spores, and pollen, which widely exist in the atmosphere and have key effects on genetic transport, human health, and climate. Read more
Fish pass installation and weir removal effects on river ecosystems
River fragmentation due to the regulation of flows for water supply, navigation and energy is a major stressor impacting river ecosystems worldwide (Grill et al., 2019). Read more
Climate change & ecosystem health: Microbial interactions and its impact on methane flux in lake ecosystems
Methane is next only to CO2 as a greenhouse gas and its atmospheric concentrations has increased 2.5-fold since preindustrial times. Read more

Mapping the Future of Greater Glasgow's NetZero Ecosystem: A Dynamic Mixed Method Approach
Overview. The Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at the University of Strathclyde invites applications for a fully funded PhD to research sustainability transitions based on technological innovation systems and place-based entrepreneurial ecosystems. Read more
Linking biodiversity with human health to inform the One Health Approach: statistical modeling of comprehensive open-access environmental and health datasets on the globe scale
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, a key part of the nature system. Read more
Scalable multifunctional passive samplers to understand chemical impacts in soil ecosystems
Microbes represent the lowest trophic level and entry point to the food web, and therefore are critical indicators of soil ecosystem health under chemical stress. Read more
The fate of microplastics in aquatic environments
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. Hone novel methods to track (real-time) and analyse microplastics. Design mesocosms to study the behaviour of microplastics in riverbed sediments. Read more
