Impacts of upwelling and internal waves on deep-water coral reefs around the Galapagos archipelago (HALL_UENV25ARIES)
Scientific background. The Galapagos archipelago is a hotspot of biodiversity and hosts one of the worlds’ largest marine reserves, including pristine deep-water coral reefs. Read more
CR2025_44: Cod in crisis in the Celtic Sea: Predicting the Cod distribution using Satellite Ocean Colour and Machine Learning
Ensuring a sustainable supply of food for the nation is a major priority for the UK Government. This includes access to sustainable marine-sourced food, particularly fisheries. Read more
Sea to Sky: leveraging AUVs and satellites to determine floating wind impacts on Celtic Sea key ecosystem drivers
Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship with Marine Research Plymouth – a collaborative partnership between the University of Plymouth, the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the Marine Biological Association. Read more
The power of poo: detecting ecological health and biogeochemical function through animal faeces
Applications are invited from prospective students for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. Animal faeces could unlock unknown secrets on the state of the natural world and how it is changing under different stressors. Read more
Data-driven modelling of the Southern Ocean biological carbon sink
Applications are invited from prospective students for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. Read more
Multiple drivers of change on avian species in estuarine systems: energy, pollution and sea-level rise.
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
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
Extinction or adaptation: quantifying marine ecosystem responses to ancient climate change
Project overview. Marine ecosystems are under urgent threat from ocean warming, deoxygenation and acidification today. Earth has warmed (and cooled) many times before, with sustained warm periods that resemble worst-case-scenario predictions for modern climate change. 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
Long-term change in the benthos – seabed photography as a critical tool for monitoring
Project overview. Long-term environmental monitoring of changes to the seabed is rare but important, particularly as climate change accelerates. Read more
Understanding the sensitivity of ecological metrics to subsea imaging conditions.
Project overview . Photography is a key tool in monitoring remote marine habitats, but determining real ecological change is hampered by a lack of comparability between rapidly improving camera systems. 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
