Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2024 / Sara Pini
In the first phase of her research, she will explore innovations in this field by engaging with practitioners and reviewing scientific literature. In the second phase, she plans to delve deeper into aspects such as enhancing specific ecosystem services and modeling interventions, transitioning from a site-specific scale to a watershed scale.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2018 / Alexa Wrede
During her project Alexa Wrede investigated methods to quantify the macrofaunal impact on biogeochemical turnover in the sediments of the German Bight. Her poster at the EGU 2018 presents the newly developed index of bioirrigation potential (IPc) that is based on body mass, abundance, burrow type, feeding type and injection pocket depth of bottom dwelling animals.
Home / Jobs / One Funded PhD Opportunity - Predicting CO2 Emissions and Removals from Irish Peatlands - AIMINGPEAT Research Project
The PhD position provides coverage of EU University fees and a stipend of €25,000 per annum for no longer than four years . PhD will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Alina Premrov ( alina.premrov@atu.ie ) at the Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Faculty of Science, Department of Environmental Science, Sligo, Ireland, in close collaboration with Dr.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / Ocean Conservation with Rebecca Helm
The webinar will conclude with an audience Q&A, so come prepped with your own questions! Rebecca R. Helm is an assistant professor of Biology and the University of North Carolina Asheville, and a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History. Dr. Helm studies the ecology and evolution of life in the open ocean, and this research ranges from the developmental biology of life cycles to the broad-scale distribution of species on the high seas.

Home / Policy / Science-policy publications / Climate change & its impacts
This is roughly the same temperature difference between present day readings and the last ice age (~12,000 years ago). Current and future climate change effects include: sea level rise an increase in the number and severity of extreme weather events decreased frost periods increased growing periods in the higher latitudes changes in global precipitation patterns an increase in the number and severity of droughts a potentially ice-free Arctic Current EU policy EU emissions represent about 10% of total global GHG emissions.

Home / Education / Planet Press / Articles / Building walls underwater to slow down glacier collapse
20 September 2018 Human activities – such as industry, agriculture and transportation – release greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and make the planet warmer. This increase in temperatures (called global warming or climate change) is especially severe in the Arctic, at the very north of our planet, and in parts of Antarctica, the frozen continent at the south of our planet.
