How much carbon can heathland ecosystems reabsorbe? In this project you will get both field and lab experience. Read More …
Direct and indirect climate impacts on the biodiversity and Functioning of the UNDERground ecosystem
Alpine grasslands harbour a vast biodiversity and contribute to the terrestrial carbon store. Climate change is predicted to cause shifts in plant community composition in alpine environments. These shifts are likely to also change the functioning of the belowground system and affect soil organisms as well as the interactions between the aboveground and belowground components of the ecosystem. We need to understand the effect of changed climate in order to protect the alpine grassland systems. Read More …
Growth in Pearlside – a new fisheries resource
Would you like to learn how scientists measure and study growth in mesopelagic fish, a new and perhaps a valuable future food resource from the ocean? Read More …
Experimental evolution in guppies
Do you want to fish guppies in experimental populations? Do you want to see how their life histories respond to fishing-induced selection? Do you want to get hands-on measuring fish and determining their sex and maturation stage? Read More …
Otolith shape analysis to discriminate herring populations
