  Do cryptic species matter? Investigating the ecological differences between earthworm cryptic species
University of York Department of Environment and Geography
  Prof M Hodson
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019

  MRes in Understanding the drivers of biodiversity potential in urban ponds
Edinburgh Napier University School of Applied Sciences
  Dr R Briers, Dr J Dodd
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019

  Dinoflagellate cysts and palaeoenvironmental change during Cretaceous oceanic anoxic events: a study of OAE1a
Kingston University Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing
  Prof I Jarvis, Prof G Gillmore
Applications accepted all year round
This project will study Cretaceous dinoflagellate cysts. It seeks to understand relationships between dinocysts, a proxy for marine nutrient availability and organic zooplankton fertility, and episodes of black shale (petroleum source rock) deposition during Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) in the mid-Cretaceous.
