LEC is one of the largest and broadest environmental research organisations in Europe and so this list represents one of the most comprehensive Masters Dissertation opportunities anywhere in the world. Not only does it draw on the expertise of over 300 researchers spanning the full range of disciplines from natural to social sciences, it also includes a number of industry placement projects developed through our CGE projects and Enterprise and Business Partnerships team. We also offer a significant number of joint projects with partners in Asia, South America and Africa. We hope you find the right research project for your dissertation. However, if you have your own ideas for a project please remember that all supervisors are open to project ideas from you. In this case you should use the listed research interests of each academic staff member as a guide to who you approach to discuss your ideas. If you want to combine ideas from more than one area, please talk to two supervisors, or more. If you want to make use of some of your existing contacts, skills or facilities, then please feel free to do so. Additionally, if you feel that a project is relevant to your interests, but is not indicated as suitable for your degree scheme, please talk to your Director of Study, as there will often be some flexibility. More information about the scope of the research being done in LEC, and individual members of staff, can be found on the LEC website: http://www.lec.lancs.ac.uk/research/. A competitive bursary of up to £350 (from the Lune & Wyre Fisheries Association) is available to support any ecology, hydrology or water quality MSc project that involves work on the River Lune or River Wyre, together with the link: http://www.es.lancs.ac.uk/wyre_project/, please contact Nick Chappell for further details. 2 LEC Staff Projects 2012-13 Name of Supervisor: Jos Barlow Contact details (room no, tel no, email LEC 3, Room B34. [email protected] address): Research Interests: Biodiversity & Conservation, Tropical Forests, Fire in the Earth System, Amazonia Project#1 Project Title: Impacts of wildfires on the functional diversity of Amazonian vegetation Project Description: The student will develop a database of the functional traits of Amazonian trees, which will be used in conjunction with existing data on the impacts of forest disturbance on tree diversity. Degree schemes: MSc Ecology and Conservation Project#2 Project Title: Biodiversity conservation in human-modified tropical forests Project Description: Examine the impact of human activities on tropical forest biodiversity, either through meta-analysis of exiting studies, or through fieldwork in a tropical forest setting (the latter may require funding). Degree schemes: MSc Ecology and Conservation 3 Name of Supervisor: Keith Beven Contact details (room no, tel no, email [email protected] address): Research Interests: Hydrological modelling, residence time and water quality modelling and load estimation, uncertainty estimation Project#1 Project Title: Application of a random particle tracking model of hillslope response to data from a lysimeter experiment or Hafren catchment at Plynlimon (2 projects) – co-supervised with Dr Jess Davies Project Description: This project will contribute to a NERC funded development of novel hillslope hydrology modelling based on random particle tracking techniques (the particle animations are cool!!; some details are given in Davies et al., Hydrological Processes, 2011). Data from some lysimeter experiments are available from EPFL, Lausanne and can be used to test the predicted changes in residence time distributions of the model. The model can also be applied to data from a brownfield site using data supplied by the Environment Agency. The model would be applied to one of these data sets with a view to testing different hypotheses about velocity distributions. Degree schemes: MRes Science of the Environment MSc Environmental Informatics MSc Environmental Science and Technology (plus international variant) MSc Sustainable Water Management 4 Project#2 Project Title: Application of dynamic Topmodel to the Llyn Briane catchments (link to NERC funded DURESS project) Project Description: As part of the NERC DURESS project, the Llyn Briane experimental catchments (that date back to the acid rain research program) are being revitalised. This project will look at the representation of the rainfall-runoff processes in the catchment using a new version of dynamic Topmodel (Beven and Freer, Hydr. Process. 2011) Degree schemes: MRes Science of the Environment MSc Environmental Informatics MSc Environmental Science and Technology (plus international variant) MSc Sustainable Water Management Project#3 Project Title: Flood Forecasting on the River Nith – co-supervised with Dr Paul Smith Project Description: Back in 1991, Lancaster University implemented a flood forecasting system for the town of Dumfries on the River Nith in Scotland (see Beven, Rainfall-Runoff Modelling, 1st edition, 2001). Even at that time it included real-time data assimilation and uncertainty estimation. This work successfully for some years but fell into disuse when the original PC was upgraded. SEPA are now reviewing their flood forecasting methods and we have obtained up-to-date records for the Nith. This project will develop a new forecasting system using improved methods for the Nith. Some knowledge of using Matlab would be an advantage in getting started. Degree schemes: MRes Science of the Environment MSc Environmental Informatics MSc Environmental Science and Technology (plus international variant) MSc Sustainable Water Management 5 Project#4 Project Title: Hysteresis in hillslope and catchment hydrological responses. Project Description: Models of hillslope and catchment hydrology are generally based on conceptual storage elements in which the outwards flux is a unique function of storage (see Kirchner, WRR 2009). This should not be the case where the length scale of the system is significant relative to storage. Then the outwards flux should depend on the wetting and drying of the system in some broadly hysteretic way (see Beven, HESS 2006). In fact, classic unit hydrograph or transfer function principles embody a form of hysteresis in their asymmetry. This project will look to see whether such hysteresis can be detected in hydrological records and if so how it might best be represented. Degree schemes: MRes Science of the Environment MSc Environmental Informatics MSc Environmental Science and Technology (plus international variant) MSc Sustainable Water Management 6 Name of Supervisor: Paul Smith & Keith Beven Contact details (room LEC1 B505, x92736, [email protected] no, tel no, email LEC1 B538, X93892, [email protected] address): My research is focussed on the appropriate representation of Research Interests: the uncertainties associated with environmental modelling and data. I have a background in statistics and hydrological forecasting, particularly of floods. Project#1 Project Title: Does knowledge of spatial rainfall patterns lead to improved hydrological forecasts? Project Description: In many situations, such as flash floods, the discharge at a catchment outlet may be the response to an intense localised rainfall event within the catchment. Such rainfall events are often poorly characterised by a network of rain gauges which observed precipitation a specific spatial locations. This in turn may lead to biased, inaccurate and imprecise hydrological forecasts. Radar allows the spatial pattern of rainfall to be observed but providing quantitative precipitation estimates from a radar image may introduce unknown biases. The effects of this on any resulting hydrological forecasts are poorly understood. Working with data from Europe this project aims to test the hypothesis that the availability of radar derived rainfall estimates allows the construction of more accurate flood forecasting models of the type considered in Romanowicz et al.(Advances in Water Resources, 31:1048-1056) Degree schemes: MRes Science of the Environment MSc Environmental Informatics MSc Environmental Science and Technology (plus international variant) MSc Sustainable Water Management 7 Name of Supervisor: Prof. Andrew Binley Contact details (room no, tel no, email B539, LEC1, tel. Ext. 93927, Email: [email protected] address): Research Interests: My research covers two general areas: hydrogeophysics and groundwater-surface water interaction. In hydrogeophysics we are trying to establish the link between geophysical and hydrological properties of subsurface materials so that we can use geophysics to map hydrological characteristics (e.g. permeability) at the field scale. My research group also uses geophysical methods (electrical resistivity, induced polarisation, ground penetrating radar)

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
    Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales.

  • Entomologiske Meddelelser
    Entomologiske Meddelelser Indeks for Bind 1-67 (1887-1999) Entomologisk Forening København 2000 FORORD Tidsskriftet "Entomologiske Meddelelser" - Entomologisk Forenings medlemsblad - blev grundlagt i 1887, og er således det ældste danske entomologiske tidsskrift, som stadig udgives. Det har siden sin start haft til formål at udbrede kendskabet til entomologien i almindelighed og dansk entomologi i særdeleshed. De første 5 bind udkom i årene 1887-1896 og omhandlede primært artikler af særlig relevans for dansk entomologi. Herefter skiftede det format, såvel rent fysisk som (mere gradvis) indholdsmæssigt, og fik efterhånden et mere internationalt tilsnit med en vis andel af bl.a. tysk- og engelsksprogede artikler. I forbindelse med overgangen til det nye format, benævntes tidsskriftet nu som "Entomologiske Meddelelser, 2. Række" og nummereringen af de enkelte bind startede forfra. Efter at have praktiseret denne nummerering i nogle år, droppedes dog betegnelsen "2. Række", og man vendte tilbage til at nummerere bindene fortløbende fra det først udkomne bind. Efter at tidsskriftet op igennem 1900-tallet havde fået et stigende indhold af artikler med internationalt sigte, blev det fra bind 39 (1971) besluttet at koncentrere indholdet til primært dansksprogede artikler af særlig relevans for den danske fauna. Samtidig overgik de enkelte bind til at udgøre årgange i stedet for, som tidligere, at være flerårige. "Entomologiske Meddelelser" har siden sin start bragt hen mod 1600 originale, videnskabelige artikler eller mindre meddelelser, næsten 500 boganmeldelser, over 100 biografier eller nekrologer over primært danske entomologer, samt enkelte meddelelser af anden slags. For at lette overskueligheden over den meget betydelige mængde af information disse publikationer rummer, har Entomologisk Forenings bestyrelse fundet tiden moden til at sammenstille et indeks over indholdet af samtlige udkomne numre af "Entomologiske Meddelser" til og med bind 67 (årgang 1999).
