Carbon leakage in forest ecosystems – towards understanding the real contribution of forests to mitigate climate change
REFERENCE NUMBER. Please use the following reference number. SCEBE-22SF-CLIFE-Ollauri. Either select from the drop down list or refer to the reference number in the prospective applicant text box if applying that way. 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
Combining tree sensor networks and remote sensing to characterise forest demographic responses to climate extremes
Project description. Understanding how tree growth and mortality will respond to rapidly changing climates over the coming decades is critical to predicting whether forest ecosystems will continue to act as a carbon sink into the future. Read more
Determining the optimal mix of forestry systems and reserves under differing wildfire regimes for improving plant conservation
How to meet human needs for timber while limiting harm to biodiversity is an urgent scientific goal. The aim of this Australian Research Council funded PhD project are. Read more
Identifying and classifying minor forest species in New Zealand using remote sensing
We are excited to offer a PhD position in the field of remote sensing at the New Zealand School of Forestry, University of Canterbury. 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
Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience
Our climate is changing. In the UK, winters are getting warmer, summers are experiencing higher temperatures, and extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall or heatwaves are increasing in frequency and magnitude. Read more
Identification of tree species based on UAV captured images
Computer Computer vision technology has been found to be an important application in remotely sensed data understanding. This research exploits high‐resolution images captured by UAV payload cameras to identify tree species. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Molecular Snail Trails: mapping the movement of protein toxins and virus particles through the glycocalyx for cell entry
All living cells are covered in a forest of carbohydrates known as the glycocalyx. Viruses, bacteria and their toxins need to descend through this forest in order to reach the cell membrane and enter the cell. Read more
Robotic Wireless Sensor Network (RWSN) design to enhance the sensing capability of Robotic systems via WSN for IoT Robotic applications
Robotics and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) used together synergistically offer endless possibilities. Read more
Temperature and heat stress in tropical forests - SENSE CDT
Background & Motivation. Temperature shifts as a result of climate change and deforestation are set to increase the risk of heat stress in many tropical forests[1]. Read more
Soil biodiversity function in enhancement of tree establishment and growth in urban settings.
It is expected the successful applicant will commence January/March 2024. Project Description. Within the built environment, there is a growing desire to have the presence of a natural element, to assist with general wellbeing of those who work and live there. Read more
Deep Learning and Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Flood Prediction (FAC23/EE/CIS/WOO)
Flood prediction models are crucial for managing extreme events and assessing hazards. However, current models often make simplified assumptions and rely on specific datasets. Read more
The response of trees to CO2 and climate inferred from new tree ring isotopes approaches
Are you passionate about trees and climate change? Are you interested in solving important and relevant questions regarding forest responses to global change?… Read more
Bayesian Computation for Comparative Judgement Models
Comparative judgement models have been to used to analyse a wide range of problems from predicting the outcomes of football leagues to assessing students. Read more
