In partnership with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), University of Newcastle researchers are investigating the role of invasive species eradication programmes in supporting ecosystem resilience in dedicated field sites throughout the Pacific. A PhD scholarship is being offered to identify and implement practical monitoring methods prior to and post eradication of rat populations. The project seeks to understand the relationship between rats, climate change and ecosystem recovery, as well as inform capacity building training for Pacific Island communities.
