University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr G Phoenix, Dr T Helgason, Dr J Bjerke
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019
Extreme climatic events can have far greater impacts on ecosystems than gradual climate change. This is particularly apparent in the Arctic, where widespread damage from extreme events is causing large-scale die-back to tundra ecosystems and driving the phenomena known as “Arctic Browning”.
