How does climate change influence dynamics between saline and freshwater coastal wetlands?
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. Read more
Impacts of environmental change on coastal UK habitats and implications for nature-based solutions
Project overview. UK coastal habitats such as seagrasses provide critical ecosystem services for human well-being and biodiversity. Read more
Evaluating the Nature-based solutions for Coastal Resilience and Effectiveness (ENCORE)
The Leverhulme PhD Programme for Interdisciplinary Resilience Studies is administered by the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences. Read more
Space-based water quality and light field prediction to support coastal aquaculture operations.
Aquaculture in coastal waters is critically dependent on water quality. Satellite remote sensing has the potential to provide water quality on unprecedented spatio-temporal scales but is currently hampered by fundamental limitations including atmospheric correction and algorithm failure in turbid waters.

CR2025_17: Designing Intertidal Channels (DITCH): detecting pre-reclamation drainage channels for improved design of saltmarsh restoration schemes
Saltmarsh is an important coastal habitat that provides a range of ecosystem services including carbon storage, flood defence through wave attenuation, nursery grounds for commercial fish species and improvements to water quality. Read more
Understanding multiple stressors driving shorebird declines in coastal machair landscapes
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. Read more
Above-below ground interactions for nature recovery in coastal sand dune wetlands (Ref: CENTA2025-LU9)
Coastal dune wetlands (slacks) are biodiversity hotspots, but they are under threat. habitat loss and deterioration of ecological condition have reduced the quantity and quality of dune slack habitat. Read more
Funded PhD NERC GW4+ DLTP - Disentangling landscape and climate effects on pollinator communities of saltmarshes to inform management solutions to enhance pollinator services in a changing climate
Coastal saltmarshes provide globally important ecosystem services including coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and pollutant remediation amongst others. Read more
Marine and estuarine restoration: implications of restoration methods and drivers of success
Saltmarsh and seagrass ecosystems provide several essential ecosystem services, including shoreline protection from coastal erosion, nursery areas for many species of fish and invertebrates, fishery production, and carbon sequestration. Read more
Impact of multi-stressors on seagrass seed germination and survival: implications for natural bed dynamics and restoration programmes
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
A mechanistic understanding of how chemical contaminants affect marine invertebrates, using a common jellyfish as a model.
Project overview. Ecosystems are widely impacted by anthropogenic activities, including the release of chemicals. Scyphozoan jellyfish, in particular the common jellyfish Aurelia spp., are widespread in coastal environments subjected to a range of natural and anthropogenic stressors. Read more
Implications of wetland creation for mosquito-borne disease risk
Wetlands are crucial habitats for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem integrity. However, newly constructed wetlands could have implications for mosquito communities and disease risk by increasing habitat availability. Read more
A multidisciplinary study of dune environments; past to present
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
