To tree or not to tree: unpicking the role of biome switching and continent hopping in trait development across the tropics
Summary. This project uses a pan tropical plant genus to investigate the environmental and evolutionary factors that drive woody plants belowground across the major biomes in tropical areas around the globe. Read more
Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) for transformative change: Addressing multi-hazard vulnerability in the context of risk-informed development.
Summary. Disaster risk weakens climate adaptation. This PhD will explore the DDR-CCA nexus by assessing the vulnerability of adaptation assets to multi-hazards; and examining the transformative potential of risk-informed development. Read more
Glacier and Landscape Evolution of Antarctic Islands in a Warming Climate.
This project examines Antarctic Peripheral Glaciers and Ice Caps (APGs) evolution under climate, ocean, and ice sheet changes during the satellite era, using remote sensing and modelling techniques. Read more
Are tropical tree communities shaped by processes in the seed-to-seedling transition?
Summary. This project will examine how seed traits and key processes such as seed production, predation and the microbiome influence seedling establishment, demography and composition in intact and disturbed tropical forests. Read more
