    SUPER DTP – Year 4 Call for PhD Studentship proposals The Scottish Universities Partnership for Environmental Research Doctoral Training Partnership (SUPER DTP) is pleased to announce its third call for PhD studentship proposals. The SUPER DTP addresses an interdisciplinary "catchment to coast" research portfolio, supporting the holistic study of the ecological dynamics of systems from headland rivers and catchments through lowland regions and riparian systems to estuarine and coastal waters and marine ecosystems. The three themes under the SUPER "Catchment to Coast" umbrella are: • Environmental dynamics: hydrology, sedimentology, coastal processes, erosion control, ecosystem engineering, river ecology and flood management • Biodiversity and ecosystem function: Ecosystem services, ecology and conservation • Challenged ecosystems: climate, multiple stressors, resilience, resource management, societal well-being, legacy waste The fourth call under the SUPER DTP remains broad in scope, and we invite applications across the full SUPER remit, which embraces terrestrial, freshwater and all marine habitats. This includes, but is not limited to, studies of: ecology; biodiversity; biological invasions; ecosystem change; environmental physics and chemistry; modelling; mechanistic studies; social and economic studies; and emerging issues. We would particularly welcome applications covering: • Freshwater, terrestrial and truly-catchment wide projects • The Deep Sea • Inter- and transdisciplinary projects Non-HEI SUPER DTP Collaborating Partners
