PhD Ecology
Course Overview
This course offers a dynamic exploration of ecology, combining foundational theory with hands-on field research in diverse locations from Merseyside to global sites. Students will investigate pressing environmental challenges, including the sustainable management of marine species and the impact of land use on carbon storage and biodiversity. The program is supported by a significant £7 million investment in state-of-the-art facilities, including a new research vessel.
Key Program Highlights
- Gain hands-on experience using a new, multi-million-pound research vessel for marine studies
- Investigate critical global issues like ecosystem carbon storage and sustainable resource management
- Learn from research that directly informs policy for government and international agencies (e.g., Defra, ICES)
- Conduct fieldwork in a variety of environments, from local Merseyside sites to international locations
- Study under experts engaged in cutting-edge research on marine vulnerability and upland ecosystem impacts
