PhD Opportunities in Spatial Analysis in Australia

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...

PhD opportunity at The University of Queensland for domestic Australian candidates only. Project title: Mineral security for food security: Mapping ASM-based agricultural mineral supply chains. This PhD explores how crushed rock minerals sourced from artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) can improve soil fertility and support food security in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific. The project sits within the Global Centre for Mineral Security at UQ’s Sustainable Minerals Institute , an interdiscip...
