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
Mapping coral resilience using 3D photogrammetry in the Red Sea
Project overview. Explore coral reef spatial arrangement using high-resolution 3D photogrammetry to underpin Digital Twins. Analyse coral reef dynamics to inform on niche occupancy towards an assessment of community resistance in changing environments. Read more

Connectivity and conservation of migratory seabirds (SOMVEILLE_UENV25ARIES)
Background. Seabirds are highly mobile organisms that connect distant regions across the world’s oceans and seas. While being important contributors to marine ecosystems, seabirds are also particularly threatened by human activity. Read more
Eco-evolutionary consequences of altered predator-prey interactions under tropicalisation
Project overview. Tropical predators are becoming established within temperate communities as a response to climate warming (tropicalisation), but with unknown consequences. Read more
Extending statistical methodology for multi-model ensembles C3.5-MPS-Blackwell
In many areas of science, there are multiple useful ways to model a given complex system, which may include simple descriptive models or more elaborate mechanistic or process-based models. Read more
PhD in Sustainability
Developed for professionals working to create a more sustainable future, PhD in Sustainability students will investigate the social, ecological, technical, and political dimensions of sustainable transformations, the relationship of science and society in advancing more sustainable futures, and novel and inclusive approaches to community-based problem solving and sustainable development. Read more
Evaluating the potential consequences of climate heating for Caspian seals and ecosystem services in the Caspian Sea
Marine mammals are keystone species for marine ecosystems. 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
