cankers in AOD. Project Aims: To address this hypothesis, the PhD will explore the interplay between sulphur metabolism and microbiome dynamics in oak (Quercus robur) through the following objectives: 1

Island organisms worldwide show similarity in morphology and ecology, despite being separated by vast geographic and phylogenetic distances – a biogeographic pattern known as the ‘island syndrome(s)’. It is thought to arise from the combined effects that island area and isolation have on...

We invite applications for a fully funded PhD studentship (3.5 years) hosted by the University of Birmingham and conducted in collaboration with the UK Met Office. This project is ideal for

, this PhD project will get an answer much more quickly by exploiting the adjacent Iceland Ice Sheet (IIS) as a GIS analogue. The IIS also advanced rapidly from the uplands to the coast after the MPWP

. Yet, many stellar and planetary parameters remain systematically uncertain due to limitations in stellar modelling and data interpretation. This PhD project will develop Bayesian Hierarchical Models

Northwest Eurasia owes its anomalously temperate climate to the oceanic circulation cell known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Regional warmth is maintained by northward-flowing Atlantic surface currents – including the Gulf Stream – that lose their heat...

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 time lags occur...

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 volatile...

Fossil tracks and trackways (a type of trace fossil or ichnofossil) provide highly complementary information to the body fossil record. Tracks are more abundant than body fossils as organisms have one skeleton, but may leave many of tracks in their lifetime, often occur in stratigraphic levels...
