Ecosystem responses to environmental change: past, present and future
Our aim is to understand how the structure and function of ecosystems change in response to external environmental drivers (e.g. climate change, ocean acidification, fishing, eutrophication, pesticides), and in turn, how these changes feedback on the environment. Ecosystems are complex systems of intricately linked processes and feedbacks between biota and their geophysical and geochemical environments. The multi-disciplinary nature of ecosystem change research means that we collaborate with expertise across the Faculty of Science (in particular Geographical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Archaeology, Interface Analysis Centre, Nanoscience and Quantum Information, Chemistry and Physics). Current research themes include:
