Overview

At University of Nottingham, in the Environmental Sciences programme, we carry out research to understand how climate has varied over time, what has caused this variation, and how it has impacted on plants and animals, shaping evolution. In this way, we use the past to understand how climate change will impact the natural world and the agro-ecosystems upon which we rely.

Features

We also study how climate change impacts ecosystems today. This ranges from melting permafrost in the Arctic, to UK agricultural systems and warming forests in the Tropics.

As part of this work, we are demonstrating the importance for natural ecosystems as they offer important climate mitigation tools and improve the resilience to climate change.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

A PhD is an independent in-depth research project. You will be able to develop additional skills through training programmes to help you complete your PhD.

In each year you will have regular meetings with your supervisor and an annual review.
