Research Themes
ECORISC draws together a critical mass of internationally recognised scientists from the universities of York, Cardiff, Exeter, Lancaster, Sheffield, and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrolody (UKCEH) who are ranked among the best in the UK in Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Environmental Science.
Our institutions have a research focus on environmental sustainability, demonstrated by significant capital investments made in the environmental sciences area.
Individual PhD projects address one or more of six primary ECORISC research themes, identified as priorities for research in recent horizon scanning exercises and through our interactions with our associated partners in industry, government and third sector organisations.
Detection, fate, transport and uptake of chemicals in the natural environment
Development of mechanistic understanding of the integrative effects of chemicals on individuals
Effects of chemical mixtures, including in combination with other environmental stressors
Landscape-scale risk assessment across different spatial and temporal scales
