*Cumulative impacts and the resilience of coastal ecosystems* A PhD research project is available working on the potential for thresholds in estuarine and coastal soft-sediment ecosystems. The research will involve a mix of data analysis investigating non-linear change in spatial and time-series data and changes in ecosystem interaction networks. The research will also invovle field experiments that attempt to investigate the response of ecological interaction networks to cumulative stressors. A PhD scholarship is available as part of the Tipping Points project in the Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge. This will provide an opportuntiy for interaction with staff and students from Waikato, Canterbury and Otago Universities, NIWA and the Cawthron Institute.
