Population genomics can reveal the evolutionary processes that underlie the history and diversity of a species. Many studies have been done on endangered and extinct species, but little attention has been given to the flip side of the coin: thriving species. To understand what sets ...
In Africa, the Plio-Pleistocene hominin fossil record is represented by a diversity of species within the genera Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo. In some cases, these species overlapped in time and space. This project will involve extraction of ancient protein remains from ...
Organic colourants have been widely used in global cultural heritage. This project will examine the possible effects of solvents on the solid-state structure of a historically important crystalline organic pigment. Piuri, often referred to as Indian Yellow or gaugli among other names, is a ...
The River Trent is one of the major fluvial environments in the UK. It has been highly mobile throughout the Holocene, leading to the preservation of significant organic-rich sediment sequences containing archaeology. The combination of aggregate extraction and recent erratic climate events mean ...
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who holds a completed Master of Science in Earth Science or related disciplines. The selected candidate will reconstruct a high resolution paleo precipitation record of the Bolivian Amazon by analysing the hydrogen isotope composition (δD) of plant ...
Les biomolécules constitutives des matériaux d’art renferment les secrets de fabrication d’une œuvre, contribuent à son apparence actuelle ou à son évolution au fil du temps. Comprendre ces recettes complexes et les interactions chimiques qui y siègent indiquent de l'importance des matériaux ...
In this interdisciplinary PhD research the effect of socio-economic differentiation on land use and landscape change during past and present periods of accelerated growth and urbanization in Southwestern Anatolia, Turkey, will be explored using Agent-Based Modelling (ABM). ABM are widely used ...
