University of Southern Queensland (Australia) is offering an HDR/PhD scholarship in physics-informed and explainable AI for water security . The project focuses on uncertainty-aware modelling from multisource environmental observations, combining in-situ water-quality measurements, flow data, hyperspectral reflectance, and satellite imagery (including Sentinel and Landsat) accessed through CSIRO’s EASI environment. The research uses real-world CSIRO Aqua-Watch pilots and Hunter Water Corporation...

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...
