Current student (BIO299/ Masters) opportunities
Are you interested in plant-environment interactions? Chemical defence mechanisms in plants? Fieldwork in mountain environments or in greenhouse settings? In developing new tools to understand patterns of past environmental changes? We have multiple potential projects available at Bachelors/ Masters level at UiB
- Testing the effects of UV-B radiation on plant-pollen chemistry under controlled conditions
- Using UV-B screens on plants in the field and testing the pollen-chemistry response
- Developing/ testing new chemical extraction procedures to isolate sporopollenin from modern pollen grains (with Monica Jordheim, UiB)
- Reconstructing chemical variations from sediment cores in fossil sequences
