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
Adapting to climate change on subtropical reefs
Subtropical reef ecosystems with coral communities differ from their tropical coral reef neighbours, as they are shaped by a biogeographical overlap of taxa at their range margins, endemic species and seasonal species assemblages (Sommer et al. Read more
Predicting marine biodiversity heatwave vulnerability at management relevant scales: A novel approach for adaptive conservation
Applications are invited for three 3.5 year PhD studentships with the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth. The studentships are due to start on 1st October 2025. 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
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
Marine and freshwater wetland recovery from extreme events
This project is part of the NERC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, ECOWILD. For more details, and for a full list of projects offered under this programme, please visit: https://ecowild.site.hw.ac.uk/. Read more
Connecting the dots: Assessing the conservation benefits of essential fish habitat networks under future climate change
Scientific background: . Marine fishes exhibit complex life cycles, featuring discrete spawning, nursery and feeding areas that confer different benefits to the stock. Read more
Environmental conditions sustaining reef coral communities in the Galápagos Archipelago
Project overview. Coral communities in the Galápagos Archipelago survive under extreme conditions in the Eastern Pacific. Their persistence has been repeatedly threatened by a combination of climate-driven and anthropogenic disturbances. Read more
