There is widespread concern about the negative impacts of plastic and other anthropogenic solid waste (hereafter referred to as ‘plastics’) on global biodiversity (Law, 2017; Lau et al., 2020). Such materials are extremely slow to break down, which has resulted in discarded micro- and...

Decarbonising the building sector is vital for net-zero targets. In 2022, buildings produced around one-third of global energy-related CO₂ emissions—26% from operations and 7% from construction-related embodied emissions (IEA, 2023). Among which, residential buildings generated nearly 60% of the...

Urbanisation is a driving force in biodiversity change at a global level (McDonald et al. 2020), affecting species’ assemblages, and affecting functional ecology across multiple taxa (Hahs et al., 2023). Its impact is typically assessed using gradient approaches (McDonnell, & Hahs, 2008)....

, few people are trained in its operation. This PhD project will involve training on, and the further development of native mass spectrometry technology. The student will operate within the Advanced Mass

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...

The marine biota provides an important component of our food systems, yet our knowledge of how many species are being harvested for human use is rather limited, especially among marine invertebrates. For example, marine bivalves – including the widely beloved scallops and oysters – are exploited...

Great apes held in captivity need resilience: the ability to ‘bounce back’ following setbacks. This is particularly true for apes entering sanctuaries or rehabilitation centres, as they have usually endured traumatic conditions, including killing of their mother and separation from their social...

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...

Growing evidence suggests that hydroclimatic compound events - where multiple hazards occur simultaneously or sequentially - are becoming more frequent and severe in some regions of the UK (Visser-Quinn et al., 2019). These events can lead to significant economic losses and are of particular...
