Atmospheric chemical processing determines the link between emissions to the air and atmospheric composition, which in turn affects climate and health. The biosphere is the largest source of organic compounds to the atmosphere, with trees dominating production of biogenic volatil…
PhD Studentship : The clock is ticking time lags & nature recovery
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Global biodiversity targets are repeatedly not met despite increasing conservation efforts. While in some cases this is due to inappropriate interventions or external pressures, in other cases, this is due to time lags in species’ responses to conservation efforts. Ecological tim…
PhD Studentship : Primates as agents of dispersal Gastrointestinal food-transit time and its downstream effects on ecosystem services
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Food passage time through animal guts is a critical parameter for constraining an animal’s ability to act as an agent of nutrient, seed, microbe, or pathogen dispersal in its ecosystem. Current methods to estimate food passage do not measure food directly, are impractical for man…
PhD Studentship : A Multi-Scale Quantitative Investigation of Micro- and Nanoplastic Disruptions in Algal Physiology, Trophic Dynamics, and Carbon Sequestration
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Plastic pollution has introduced vast quantities of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) into aquatic ecosystems, raising urgent questions about their impacts on biodiversity and global biogeochemical cycles. Among the most critical but poorly understood aspects is how MNPs interact wi…
PhD Studentship : Foundation AI model for assessing human influence on hydroclimatic compound hazards in the UK
