  • PhD Studentship: Machine Learning and Data Assimilation for accurate wildfire predictions

    20th May, 20 / Opportunities

    Project Description This project aims to incorporate machine learning algorithms in data assimilation processes to improve efficiency and accuracy of wildfire estimations and predictions. The resulting models will assimilate data of wildfire variables (fire incidence, burnt area, fire duration, emissions etc) and wildfire drivers (a wide range, e.g. vegetation-related variables, climate related variables, human/society related […]

  • PhD Studentship: CO2 impacts on past and future fire regimes and their consequences for biodiversity

    26th February, 20 / Opportunities

    Project Description Much of the discussion of the drivers of recent changes in fire regimes has focused on the impact of climate change and anthropogenic activities. However, the direct impacts of changing atmospheric CO2 on plant growth and water-use efficiency could also affect biomass production and hence fuel loads, and therefore influence future fire regimes. […]

  • PhD Studentship: Contested fire management: Understanding trade-offs between traditional and government approaches to fire management

    10th January, 20 / Opportunities

    Project Description Fire is a critical component of many agricultural and livestock-based land use systems in the Global South where its management benefits from generations of local experience in how, when and where to set fires for maximum local benefit. In many countries, governments and conservation organisations have implemented a range of fire-related policies (from […]

  • PhD Studentship: Physical and socio-economic drivers of changing fire dynamics in Ethiopia’s drylands and impacts on ecosystem services

    10th January, 20 / Opportunities

    Project Description Fire is a critical component of the ecology of African savannas and it is used by humans as a tool for rangeland management. Across much of northern Africa there has been a decreasing trend in burned area, but the drivers and impacts of these changes are not yet fully understood. These changing fire […]
