Assessing sedimentary Blue Carbon to inform marine management
Project overview . Marine sediments contain massive amounts of ‘blue carbon’ isolated from the atmosphere for millennia. Net carbon flux into sediments and the influence of human activity and changing climate is poorly quantified. Read more
AI-driven biodiversity insight: enhancing underwater ecosystem monitoring through advanced computer vision
Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship with Marine Research Plymouth – a collaborative partnership between the University of Plymouth, the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the Marine Biological Association. Read more
E5 Global monitoring models for marine mammal strandings: Creating surveillance intelligence systems for marine mammal strandings management
Start date. October 2025. Duration: 3.5 YEARS. Stipend: UKRI stipend levels (£19,237 in 2024/25). Supervisors. Dr Jude Eze (SRUC), Dr Annette Boerlage (SRUC), Dr Sarah Marley (SRUC), Dr Giles Innocent (Biomathematics & Statistics Scotland). Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Adapting to Change: Integrating Climate Projections and Genomic Tools to Future-Proof Fisheries Management
Excited about transforming how food resources are managed under rapidly shifting climate change? Are you eager to learn cutting-edge techniques to make a real-world change to food sustainability and conservation? Apply for this PhD to innovate novel tools for predicting fish population responses to climate change and tackle urgent challenges in marine conservation and fisheries. Read more
CR2025_39: Defining the cascading effects of global warming – from the microbial loop to marine food webs (MicroHeat)
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Marine ecosystems are highly sensitive to global warming, however, the detailed mechanisms by which temperature changes affect food web dynamics remain poorly understood. Read more

Status, distribution, and dynamics of marine biodiversity
Marine biodiversity is essential to the functioning of the Earth’s ecosystems, and supports a range of ecosystem services including food production, climate regulation, and cultural values. Read more
How does gamebird release and management affect the population stability and recovery of UK bird species , NERC GW4+ DTP PhD studentship for September 2025 Entry Ref: 5402
Supervisors. Lead Supervisor Joah Madden, University of Exeter, Psychology. Additional Supervisors. Alex Banks, Natural England. Read more
Viral epidemic of marine plankton and its influence on the ocean carbon cycle (RACAULT_UENV25ARIES)
Scientific background. Marine ecosystems play a key role in regulating the Earth's climate and live largely at the ocean’s surface. Read more
Biogeography of the southern Indian Ocean higher predator community
Project overview. Numerous seabird and marine mammal species occur in the subtropical and subantarctic zones of the southern Indian Ocean. Read more
PeatFor - Management of peatland forests for climate and biodiversity
PeatFor Project – Management of peatland forests for climate and biodiversity. In pristine or undrained conditions peatland are long-term sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO. Read more
Modelling and measuring agricultural management on peat soils to enhance removals and sequestration of carbon (MAPSERS-C)
Ireland and New Zealand aim to at least halve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and reach net zero carbon by 2050. A significant contribution common to both countries national GHG estimates comes from grassland over drained organic (peat) soils with upper estimates of approximately 9Mt CO. Read more
Long-term change in the benthos – seabed photography as a critical tool for monitoring
Project overview. Long-term environmental monitoring of changes to the seabed is rare but important, particularly as climate change accelerates. Read more
CR2025_37: Assessing production, residence and nursery values for finfish in saltmarsh habitats in South Wales to inform management strategies for conservation and restoration
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. This PhD explores the pivotal factors influencing finfish productivity within saltmarsh habitats, aiming to optimise restoration initiatives and sustain finfish productivity in these ecosystems. Read more
