Methods River migration (by bank erosion and avulsion) displaces thousands of vulnerable people annually, is likely to worsen significantly under climate change, and is challenging to predict. This project

addition, data augmentation methods to improve generalisation will be explored, for example through structured transformations such as permuting satellite IDs to enforce homogeneity. The project may also

Methods Mountain rivers are an essential source of water, nutrients and hydropower, yet these resources are threatened by increasing quantities of sediment and pollution along water courses, partly linked
-
Methods Tropical forest soils are crucial to the global carbon cycle, yet increasing wildfire, land-use change, and climate warming may cause large carbon emissions. This PhD will investigate (1) how soil

Methods This project will explore how Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) loop closure, derived from the summation of phases in three closed multilooked interferograms, can be used to monitor
-
Methods Selfish X chromosomes are a fascinating form of ‘unfair’ mendelian genetics. Males bearing a selfish X can sire only female offspring as Y-bearing sperm are destroyed during spermatogenesis by
-
Methods 60% of the world's population live in countries dependent upon seasonal monsoon rainfall. Climate change is causing changes in the character of monsoon rainfall, with potentially severe impacts
-
Methods Archaea thrive in nearly every habitat on Earth, from salt lakes and volcanic springs to the human body. As major producers of methane and key players in the nitrogen cycle, they greatly impact
-
Methods How do we adapt conservation for a time of rapid global environmental change? Conservation scientists have recently suggested we should focus more on maintaining and restoring ecological processes

Methods At a time when many landscapes need repair and global demand for mined raw materials is escalating, this project investigates how to redevelop landscapes when mining finishes. The student will desk
