We have 65 Marine Sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Southampton
Causes and consequences of abrupt environmental and geomagnetic change under contrasting climate states
Project overview . You will work on exciting sediment archives recovered during a recent major international scientific research expedition to the North Atlantic. Read more
Field metabolic rates of marine fishes across global latitude gradients
Project overview . Predicting how fishes will respond to climate change depends on a clear understanding of the mechanisms that link performance in the wild to temperature. Read more
Eco-evolutionary consequences of altered predator-prey interactions under tropicalisation
Project overview. Tropical predators are becoming established within temperate communities as a response to climate warming (tropicalisation), but with unknown consequences. Read more
Hidden microplastics: presence, pathways and impacts of tyre-wear particles and their chemical additives in the ocean
Project Overview. Microscopic tyre-wear particles of synthetic rubber, plastic compounds and chemical additives are generated as car tyres wear out. Read more
Oceanic Primary Production through the Phanerozoic
Project overview. Almost all marine life depends (either directly or indirectly) on the rate of phytoplankton growth using sunlight, nutrients and carbon (i.e. Read more
Understanding oceanic photosynthesis
Project overview. Phytoplankton that perform photosynthesis are the source of energy that drives global elemental cycles, including carbon, and thus regulate climate. Read more
Comparing cryptobenthic fishes: from cool climates to coral reefs
Project overview. This project will compare communities of small ‘cryptobenthic’ fishes (camouflaged fishes, <5cm long) across latitudinal gradients, from temperate to tropical reef ecosystems. Read more
Taking control - can phytoplankton increase nutrient uptake by manipulating their microenvironment?
Project overview. Many areas of our oceans are extremely nutrient poor, so phytoplankton have evolved diverse ways to support photosynthesis and enhance nutrient acquisition in these regions. 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
Polar phytoplankton ecology and carbon export in a warming climate
Project overview. Marine phytoplankton are key players in the global carbon cycle, responsible for half of Earth’s primary production. Read more
Ocean’s Methane sensing using novel surface plasmon resonance technology
Supervisory Team: Rand Ismaeel, Matthew Mowlem. Project description. Ocean monitoring is a critical need, and it is closely related to human survival. Read more
Unravelling the Mystery of Mesopelagic Carbon Cycling by Microbes
Project overview. Marine microbes are key drivers of biogeochemical cycling. Assessment of their activities, so-far mostly done by shipboard incubations, are prone to artefacts from inevitable changes in incubation conditions. Read more
Past climate land-ocean-atmosphere interactions: lessons for our greenhouse future
Project overview. Shifting rainfall patterns and seasons represent an alarming consequence of human-driven global climate change. Read more
