  Reconstructing lost worlds – Quaternary continental Ostracoda as tools in geoarchaeology
Max Planck Society Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History
  Dr P Frenzel
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Ostracods are one of the main palaeontological proxies in Quaternary continental systems because of their ecological sensitiveness, wide distribution, often high abundance and high diversity.

  Landscape change in Northern Norway: impacts of climate, biotic interactions and anthropogenic disturbance
University of Southampton School of Geography
  Prof ME Edwards, Prof AG Brown
Application Deadline: 12 January 2019
Humans arrived early into arctic Fennoscandia, and their actions have subtly shaped the landscape for thousands of years. At the same time, climate variations and natural biotic processes (such as herbivory, competition, and soil development) have also driven change.

  The sedimentology associated with subglacial drainage pathways beneath a soft bedded glacier
University of Southampton School of Geography
  Prof JK Hart
Application Deadline: 12 January 2019
One of the main drivers of glacier response to climate change is the rate at which surface water can reach the bed of the glacier.

University of Leicester School of Geography, Geology and the Environment
  Dr A Carr, Dr A Boom
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
The sub-tropics of Africa responded sensitively to Pleistocene glacial-interglacial climatic change, as evidenced by the formation of palaeo-lakes and the activity of now relict dune systems.
