Investigating perceptions and barriers to climate adaptation and mitigation strategies in urban and peri-urban environments
Throughout the history of nature conservation there has been major conflicts of interest between different stakeholders, for instance, between national governments and local communities. Read more
Project Q2122: Harnessing Explainable AI to Identify Key Microbial Drivers of Reduced Ruminant Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Prof Chris Creevey, Queen's University Belfast)
Scientific Background. Microbes form stable communities by each taking on unique roles based on their genes, a process known as niche specialization. Read more
Project S2121: A Machine Learning Accelerated Spectral Matching Algorithm to Identify Harmful Algal Blooms and Other Threats to Aquaculture Operations. (Dr David McKee, University of Strathclyde)
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations estimates that total aquaculture production in 2022 reached ~131 million tonnes, with a farm-gate value of USD $312.8 billion. Read more
Project S1215: Artificial Intelligence for Satellite Assessment in Grassland Ecosystems (AI-SAGE) (Dr Robert Atkinson, University of Strathclyde)
Satellite Earth Observation (EO) Data has emerged as a game-changer in accurately assessing plant biodiversity and ecosystem functions within agricultural landscapes, spanning both grassland and arable terrains. Read more
Removing rabbits to restore ecosystems - plant community ecology
Outside the Fence. How strategic removal of rabbit warrens could achieve large-scale restoration and connect natural habitat for wildlife. Read more
The role of invasive bumble bees in pollinator communities in Tasmania
We are seeking applicants for a PhD project investigating the impacts of introduced bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) on pollinators and plants in Tasmania, Australia. Read more
Determining the impact of grazing and cropping on tropical wildlife
This PhD is a field-intensive project involving various automated and hands-on methods to quantify wildlife use of impacted landscapes (grazing, clearing, and cropping). You will be using acoustic survey methods combined with camera trapping, and traditional trapping and searching, to detect vertebrates and invertebrates in very HOT and REMOTE locations in tropical Queensland Australia.

Marine habitat restoration for future resilience: biogenic reef restoration in sea loughs under a changing climate.
Understanding the optimal approach for seascape-level restoration, where targeted habitats, e.g. biogenic reefs, are restored to support biodiversity and associated ecosystem functioning and stability, is vital for the resilience of the marine ecosystems in general. Read more
