Evaluating the Nature-based solutions for Coastal Resilience and Effectiveness (ENCORE)
The Leverhulme PhD Programme for Interdisciplinary Resilience Studies is administered by the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences. Read more
Characterising the 3D distribution of canopy chlorophyll content using dual-wavelength laser scanning to better quantify vegetation health
Project overview. Chlorophyll, the main photosynthetic pigment, is critical for vegetation health, yet little is known about its within-canopy distribution (or resulting implications for vegetation function). Read more
Reimagining complex adaptive systems as "serious games" for dynamical insight
The Leverhulme PhD Programme for Interdisciplinary Resilience Studies is administered by the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences. Read more
Sand flows in growing river cities in the global south: Developing a coupled model of urban growth, river sand mining, and system resilience
The Leverhulme PhD Programme for Interdisciplinary Resilience Studies is administered by the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences. Read more
SHELF-MIX: Mapping Ocean Mixing Beneath Antarctic Ice Shelves
Project overview. Antarctic ice shelves, and the speed at which they are melted from below by ‘warm’ ocean waters, set Antarctica’s contribution to 21st century sea-level rise. Read more
Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet: insights from past dynamics
Project overview. We will use state of the art climate model experiments to investigate (i) the role of climate feedbacks in controlling the growth and decay of the Laurentide and Fennoscandian ice sheets during Pleistocene ice ages and (ii) the evolution of the Greenland ice sheet in warm future climates. .

Developing a novel palaeoclimate proxy from Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic
Project overview . This project aims to develop a novel climate proxy from Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic to reconstruct the strength and movement of southern westerly winds, crucial for understanding climate tipping points and future projections. Read more
How does turbulence drive upwelling in the deep-ocean? Insights from new sensing technology
Project overview. Recent work has highlighted the importance of turbulent mixing in the ocean bottom boundary layer in upwelling the dense waters formed at high latitudes. Read more
Desert dune avalanche processes
Project overview. This project will examine how wind-blown avalanches are controlled by sediment transport dynamics including dune size, wind speed and grain characteristics. Read more
Investigating the environmental stressors causing ancestral Polynesian migration from Taiwan
Project overview . This project aims to use multiple climate proxies and novel sedaDNA and fecal biomarker analyses to reconstruct past environmental changes in Taiwan over the past 5000 years. Read more
Blowing in the wind. Tracing the transport of diatoms to Antarctic ice cores
Project overview . The Westerly Winds are among the main drivers of climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere. This PhD will contribute to the development of a novel Antarctic ice core proxy for reconstructing past westerly wind changes. Read more
Drivers of landscape fire activity in Africa
Project overview. Over the past 20 years, landscape fire activity has decreased in Africa, particularly in the northern hemisphere. Read more
