Project overview. Glaciers are retreating worldwide and are a major contribution to global sea-level rise. There are many factors which control melting rate, particularly water at the glacier bed. Read more
Project overview . Bats are the most important pollinators within mammals, yet climatic changes can disrupt the spatio-temporal dynamics of nectar bat-plant interactions. Read more
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
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
Project overview. This project will use a variety of hydrographic datasets to understand the water mass formation processes within the ice covered Weddell Sea, and how they are responding to climate change. Read more
Project overview. Colourimetric/fluorescent chemical sensors offer rapid and simple detection tools for chemical species including metal ions. Read more
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
