Science Research Opportunities at the University of East Anglia
UEA is a top tier, research-led university committed to making a substantial impact on global challenges facing society for over 50 years. Read more
Understanding how production of dimethylsulfoniopropionate by plants affects global sulfur cycling (MILLER_UBIO25ARIES)
Scientific background. Billions of tonnes of the organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) are made each year by marine algae, corals and bacteria. Read more
Developing a new understanding of sulphur cycling in marine bacteria (SULLIVAN_UBIO25ARIES)
Background. The microbial world is a fascinating network of organisms that live in our environment and play significant roles in regulating our climate. Read more
Quantifying how extreme weather events affect biodiversity (WARREN_UENV25ARIES)
Scientific background. Climate change is affecting biodiversity. Species distributions are changing and spring is advancing. In the future, risks are projected to become even greater. Read more
Sex and synchrony: the role of males and females in driving population synchrony in wild birds (BUTLER_UBIO25ARIES)
Abundance synchrony is a common feature of wild populations, with dispersal between sites identified as a key driving process. In birds, synchrony between populations is expected to be more strongly influenced by female dispersal rates as males tend to show higher natal philopatry. Read more
Novel autonomous techniques to understand a volatile problem: Biological controls on seawater sulfur (BELL_UPML25ARIES)
Primary supervisor - Professor Thomas Bell. The oceans release huge quantities of the gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) and this contributes to the formation and growth of atmospheric particles and clouds, reflecting solar radiation. Read more
How will Air-Sea Greenhouse Gas Fluxes Respond to Global Change (SUNTHARALINGAM_UENV25ARIES)
BACKGROUND. The ocean plays a key role in controlling atmospheric greenhouse-gas levels. It removes a significant fraction of anthropogenic carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere, and also emits nitrous-oxide and methane, important greenhouse-gases formed by marine ecosystems. Read more
Should I stay or should I go: the individual determinants of variability in migratory behaviour (FRANCO_UENV25ARIES)
Background. Migratory birds are experiencing dramatic population declines and are a priority for conservation. Migration, the regular movement of animals from breeding to non-breeding areas, is common at high latitudes enabling species to cope with fluctuations in resource availability1. Read more
The role of zinc in the adaptation of diatoms to conditions of polar oceans (MOCK_UENV25ARIES)
Primary supervisor - Professor Thomas Mock. Scientific background. Diatoms are the main primary producers in polar oceans, where photosynthesis is largely limited by seasonal fluctuation in light, temperature and the extent of sea ice. Read more
Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress (TAYLORR_UBIO25ARIES)
Background. Natural environments are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic climate change. How populations respond to these changes determines whether they adapt to more stressful environments via plasticity and/or evolution, or whether they become extinct. Read more
Bacterial sRNAs: Critical yet overlooked regulators of nitrous oxide emissions (ROWLEY_UBIO25ARIES)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major greenhouse gas, with 300-fold greater warming potential than carbon dioxide. A major source of N2O comes from soil microbes utilising nitrogen-based fertilisers rather than oxygen to breathe in a process called denitrification. Read more
Investigating genetic markers and mechanisms of CO dehydrogenase regulation in response to atmospheric mercury (HERNÁNDEZ GARCÍA_UBIO25ARIES)
Scientific Background. Volcanic emissions are a natural source of mercury (Hg) to the atmosphere and Mt. Etna (Italy) is a major natural source of Hg to the Mediterranean region. Read more
The genomic architecture of adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster (GRIESHOP_UBIO25ARIES)
Background. Understanding how organisms adapt to their environment is fundamental to evolutionary biology and a pressing concern amidst the climate and biodiversity crises. Read more
The cycling of climate-active sulfur compounds by major crops (TODD_UBIO25ARIES)
Scientific background. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is known as a marine anti-stress compound made by algae and bacteria. It has key roles in global nutrient and sulfur cycling, signalling, and microbial DMSP catabolism releases climate-active gases (CAG), notably dimethylsulfide (DMS). Read more
Genomics of mimicry in Neotropical catfishes (TAYLORM_UBIO25ARIES)
Scientific background the wider context; why the project is important and timely. Mimetic relationships - where two or more species share colour patterns to reduce attacks by predators are some of the most powerful demonstrations of natural selection. Read more
