| Description | Rewilding is a novel ecosystem restoration technique aiming more room for natural processes simply by stepping back and letting nature repair the damage, or by reintroducing species or restoring habitats. In this project, you will investigate how and where can we rewild coastal marine ecosystems in ways that enhance resilience in the face of global change. You will focus on coastal systems, like seagrasses or salt marshes and will analyse the resilience based on the ability to recover from disturbance. We will map rewilding hotspots. Your project could lean more towards literature review or data analysis/GIS analysis. |
