Primary supervisor - Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major greenhouse gas, with 300-fold greater warming potential than carbon dioxide. A major source of N2O comes from soil microbes utilising nitrogen-based fertilisers rather than oxygen to bre...
Primary supervisor - Abundance synchrony is a common feature of wild populations, with dispersal between sites identified as a key driving process. In birds, synchrony between populations is expected to be more strongly influenced by fema...
Primary Supervisor - Scientific Background The 2020s are critical years for curbing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel use to slow the pace of climate change. Successful implementation of the Paris agreement relies on co...
Primary Supervisor - Background: Seabirds are highly mobile organisms that connect distant regions across the world's oceans and seas. While being important contributors to marine ecosystems, seabirds are also particularly threatened by...

Primary Supervisor - We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate to investigate the drivers of sea-to-air fluxes of the twin climate-cooling gases methanethiol (MeSH) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Scientific background The oceans emit ...
Primary supervisor - The oceans release huge quantities of the gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) and this contributes to the formation and growth of atmospheric particles and clouds, reflecting solar radiation. DMS therefore is a key influence on...
