Effects of forest diversity on aquatic-terrestrial linkages and processes
Tree species, functional and genetic diversity is known to mediate ecosystem processes and functioning of the forest ecosystems. However, forest ecosystems are connected to other ecosystems through the flow of species, energy and elements. Read more

Combining AI and remote sensing to understand how climate change will affect the second largest rainforest on Earth
Climate change, human modification, and changes in biodiversity are fundamentally altering ecosystems across the world. In West Africa, these changes are leading to shifts in the distribution of forest and savanna ecosystems, but exactly what changes are occurring and why remains largely unknown. Read more

Discharges of treated sewage wastewaters to groundwater-dominated river ecosystems: processes and impacts in headwater chalk streams
The project seeks to develop understanding of the impacts of sewage-related phosphorus on chalk streams. Where treated sewage wastewaters are discharged to chalk groundwater, their relatively high levels of P augment the usually low levels of groundwater P. Read more
Semantic random-access technology for future wireless ecosystems
This PhD project will research into new technical innovations that can embrace today’s machine learning advances into a process of designing and managing wireless communications for emergent AI agents, where they will mimic human ability to effectively learn, fine-tune and adapt skills of conveying semantic information.

SCENARIO - Understanding freshwater ecosystem health from a microbial perspective (SC2023_38)
This project is based at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford. Freshwater environments are exposed to a variety of stressors that contribute to the decline of freshwater species, ecosystems, and the services they provide. Read more
Antarctic Subglacial Lake Microbiology (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/PEARCE)
Antarctic subglacial lakes are one of the few remaining unexplored environments on Earth. Read more
The relationship between marine extinction and climate change in space and time
This project will use the fossil record to understand climatic impacts on biodiversity and how extinction might alter regional ecosystems. Read more
