PhD opportunity in fire ecology , landscape ecology , remote sensing , hydrology , and conservation science focused on understanding how changing moisture conditions influence the persistence of fire refugia in the Northern Jarrah Forest of south-west Western Australia . The project will examine how spatial and temporal patterns of soil and vegetation moisture affect the vulnerability of mesic habitats to fire under a drying climate, with a particular emphasis on fire-sensitive refugia and habit...

PhD opportunity at the University of Technology Sydney in Interactions of Plant Diversity and Climate on Ecosystem Phenology and Resilience . This project sits at the intersection of plant biology , environmental science , ecology , geography , remote sensing , and climate change . It will investigate how climate and plant diversity jointly shape vegetation phenology—the timing of plant life cycle events—and how these changes affect ecosystem resilience across Australia. The research will combin...
