Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India (2024)
Thesis
Ali, I. (2024). Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India. (Thesis). University of Salford

The inevitable human interaction with wildlife often gives rise to human-wildlife conflicts inflicting tangible (e.g., financial, persecutions) and intangible (e.g., emotional) losses on both sides. Despite the lack of scientific records in Kargil... Read More about Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India.

The Characteristics of an Integrated Flood Warning and Response System that can Facilitate Evidence-Based Decision-Making: A Case Study in Sri Lanka (2024)
Thesis
Samansiri, R. (2024). The Characteristics of an Integrated Flood Warning and Response System that can Facilitate Evidence-Based Decision-Making: A Case Study in Sri Lanka. (Thesis). University of Salford

Flood is a frequently occurring hazard that imposes adverse effects on a significant number of human lives and causes substantial economic damage worldwide. Flood frequency and impact have increased drastically due to climate change issues and unpla...

Investigating the Efficiency of Environmental DNA (eDNA) for Detecting Terrestrial and Semi-aquatic Mammals (2024)
Thesis
Broadhurst, H. (2024). Investigating the Efficiency of Environmental DNA (eDNA) for Detecting Terrestrial and Semi-aquatic Mammals. (Thesis). University of Salford

The global decline of terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammals creates an urgent need for accurate information on species distributions for effective conservation efforts. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has emerged as a reliable, non-invasive, and novel approa...

Ecoacoustic Methods for Avifauna Analysis: A Case Study of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (2023)
Thesis
Whitehead, H. (2023). Ecoacoustic Methods for Avifauna Analysis: A Case Study of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. (Thesis). University of Salford

Birds are one of the most studied taxa in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), with previous studies reporting negative impacts of radiation such as reductions in abundance and diversity and an increase in albinism and cataracts incidence. This thesis... Read More about Ecoacoustic Methods for Avifauna Analysis: A Case Study of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.

A Holistic Approach for Fostering Community Engagement in the Decision-Making of Risk-Sensitive Urban Planning and Development (2023)
Thesis
Geekiyanage, D. (2023). A Holistic Approach for Fostering Community Engagement in the Decision-Making of Risk-Sensitive Urban Planning and Development. (Thesis). The University of Salford

In the face of increasing extreme climate events, communities are often excluded from decision-making during pre-disaster and urban planning, despite their tacit knowledge and experience in disaster response and recovery. This marginalisation poses a... Read More about A Holistic Approach for Fostering Community Engagement in the Decision-Making of Risk-Sensitive Urban Planning and Development.

Understanding the role of Building Regulation costs in the Irish housing crisis (2023)
Thesis
Brunton, A. (2023). Understanding the role of Building Regulation costs in the Irish housing crisis. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis examines the proportional impact that building regulation costs have on house construction costs in Ireland and considers how they affect development viability, purchaser affordability and housing supply in the housing market. It also c... Read More about Understanding the role of Building Regulation costs in the Irish housing crisis.
