ARIES DTP PhD Studentships

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) in collaboration with Forest Research. The project, titled Future-proofing British conifer forests , asks how forests can be made more resilient to Phytophthora ramorum , an important invasive tree pathogen. The research will investigate the biology, ecology, and evolution of this organism and will contribute to sustainable forestry and tree health. This is an interdisciplinary PhD with training across plant path...

This funded PhD project investigates what happens on land when temperatures exceed 1.5°C and examines the long-term consequences of climate “overshoot.” The research will combine geochemical datasets with climate model simulations to determine how land systems respond to past, present and future warming. By connecting evidence from different climate periods with modelled future conditions, the project will contribute to improved assessments of the environmental consequences of exceeding 1.5°C of...
