PhD Position in Geography, Coventry University, United Kingdom

Remote sensing, earth obHurricanes cause widespread damage to agriculture, resulting in vegetation loss and decreased productivity. The Caribbean region, specifically, is affected by three major hurricanes (on average) each year with island nations identified as particularly vulnerable. Importantly, while the immediate impact of hurricanes on agriculture can be detrimental to short-term production, the long-term impact on agricultural systems is less certain. Coupled with this, it is likely that the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes (associated with climate change) may affect recovery in the long-term. This project will address this knowledge gap by assessing the impact of hurricanes on agriculture in the Caribbean, 2010-2020.

The purpose of this research is to conduct a regional assessment of all hurricanes that made landfall in the Caribbean, 2010-2020, to determine the overall impact of hurricanes on agriculture and the factors that contribute to agricultural loss. Utilising satellite imagery, a standardised methodology will be developed that will enable the short-term damage and long-term recovery of agricultural land to be identified, as well as compare hurricane events and farming systems. The findings of this research will drive innovations in resilience by determining disaster-resilient farming systems that are able to withstand and recover from future events.

This is a fully-funded studentship, including tuition fees and stipend/bursary.

Requirements  

  • A minimum of a 2:1 first degree in a relevant discipline/subject area with a minimum 60% mark in the project element or equivalent with a minimum 60% overall module average.
  • The potential to engage in innovative research and to complete the PhD within a 3.5 years.
  • A minimum of English language proficiency (IELTS academic overall minimum score of 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in each component).
