University of Birmingham invites applications for a PhD project examining how micro- and nanoplastics affect plankton and the biological carbon pump in UK coastal waters. The work integrates field surveys, lab experiments, and advanced analytical techniques.
You will quantify MNPs in water and plankton, study uptake in algae, trace trophic transfer to zooplankton, and contribute to ecological risk models and policy-relevant insights.
