Project title: Woodland ecosystems - developing an inter-disciplinary method for characterising and mapping the environmental legacies of past human actions
The project aims to make use of historic (up to 400 year old) estate maps to document changing woodland cover and management and to identify potential "ancient" woodland sites. Ecological ground survey will be used to assess the linkages between woodland history and ecosystem services. Further information is available here: http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/postgraduateresearch/scholarships/kelvinsmith/recruitingscholarshipprojects/#WoodlandEco
Applications are welcome from international students and the scholarship covers fees (including those for international students), a stipend (ca. £14k per year) and research costs (£3.5k per year).
