Impacts of climate change on the sensitivity of freshwater wetland invertebrate populations to chemical exposure
Are you passionate about environmental science, climate change, and chemical risk management? This exciting PhD project, part of the NERC-funded ECOWILD… Read more
Climate Change and Zoonotic Risk: Investigating Avian Influenza Dynamics
Background. Approximately 70% of emerging zoonotic diseases originate from wildlife (1). As the global temperature increases with climate change, the distributions and migration patterns of wild animals will also be altered, bringing them into closer contact with humans and domesticated animals (2, 3). Read more
CR2025_53: Pathogen on the Rise: Investigating Crayfish Plague (Aphanomyces astaci) Dynamics and Climate Change Impacts on Crayfish in UK Freshwaters
As keystone species and ecosystem engineers, crayfish are among the most ecologically significant organisms in freshwater ecosystems, shaping habitats, influencing biodiversity, and impacting ecological processes. Read more
Funded PhD - Urban green space as refuge for people and disease vectors under climate change: a double-edged sword
With heatwaves becoming increasingly frequent and intense under climate change, people are relying on urban green spaces as a refuge particularly as cities can be worse impacted by heat (the urban heat island effect). Read more
Adaptation to extreme environmental change: Consequences of multiple stressors for species interactions and their extinction risk
The increasing rate at which climate change is occurring, and the frequency and magnitude of change, means that environments can be unpredictable, they can change abruptly, and they can be extreme. Read more
Innovative geomorphic approaches to support better management of flood risk and ecosystem health (Ref: FCDT-25-LU5)
Flood risk is controlled by both the hydrology and the physical shape and behaviour of a river and its floodplain (e.g., river type and behaviour; impacts of artificial modifications). 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
ACCE+ DLA programme: Habitat networks designed for all - ensuring climate-resilience for a wide diversity of species
Biodiversity is threatened by habitat degradation and fragmentation, which hampers the ability of species to successfully shift their ranges in response to climate change. Read more
CR2025_61: Quantifying trends in global wetland-associated biodiversity loss
The world’s wetlands are of critical importance to human health and well-being, providing key ecosystem services including protecting coastal areas from storms, food and fuel provision, improving water quality and recharging groundwater aquifers (Zedler & Kercher 2005). Read more

Integrating modern and long-term ecology to inform UK peatland fire management in a changing climate
Applications are invited for a 3.5 years PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 01 October 2025. Project Description. Scientific background . Read more
Predicting Synergistic Effects of Multiple Stressors on Estuarine Hydro-Ecological Resilience
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
Investigating the effects of environmental change on tropical montane bats
Project overview. PhD opportunity to investigate the impact of environmental change on tropical montane bats in Malaysia. The project combines ecological research methods and pollen analysis to study bat community composition, pollination network, and environmental influences. Read more
Understanding the role of complexity and diversity in riparian woodland resilience to extreme events.
Maintaining the quality of freshwater habitats is essential for the health and wellbeing of people and wildlife. Native woodlands within the riparian zone (riparian woodlands) play multiple roles in the functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Read more
Climate impacts on Arctic plant-pollinator networks: developing a thermally sensitive trait-based framework
Supervisor. Dr Richard Gill (Imperial College London, UK). Co-supervisors. Dr Keith Larson (Umeå University, Sweden); Ass. Prof. Jonas Lembrechts (Utrecht University); Prof. Read more
