  Impacts of land-use change on tropical biodiversity
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr D Edwards
Applications accepted all year round
Tropical land-use change is a core driver of the global extinction and climate change crises. In the Edwards lab, we use field research, economic assessment and rigorous statistical analyses to determine the impacts of tropical land-use change on biodiversity, carbon stocks and other ecosystem services.

  DTC MATH 8 - Tropical geometry and scheme theory
Swansea University Department of Mathematics
  Dr J Giansiracusa
Applications accepted all year round
Over past few years Giansiracusa and others have initiated a new foundation for the type of polyhedral geometry known as tropical geometry; this foundation is rooted in the combinatorial theory of matroids, the algebra of idempotent semirings, and Grothendieck’s theory of schemes.

  Effect of oxidative stress on the biochemistry of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)-lyase enzymes in tropical reef organisms - to start October 2019 - for an MSc by Dissertation (MSD
University of Essex School of Biological Sciences
  Dr M Steinke, Dr M Hough, Dr J Worrall
Application Deadline: 24 April 2019
Rationale. Tropical coral reefs are a substantial source of the climate-cooling gas dimethyl sulfide (DMS). The major precursor of DMS is the secondary metabolite dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) that is biosynthesised to high concentrations in symbiotic dinoflagellates of the tropical genus Symbiodinium [1].
