The project aims to develop and apply a rapid assessment toolkit for determining the biological impact of pollution in the Galapagos archipelago. The student will join a friendly and supportive team of award-winning scientists and conservation professionals who collectively offer training and support in all techniques necessary for the project to succeedDespite the iconic status of the Galapagos archipelago as a biodiversity hotspot, the impacts of human activities on these remote islands has received almost no attention. The novelty of the project also lies in its blend of science and testing of practical interventions to reduce pollution.The student will gain a portfolio of highly employable skills including methods for measuring and assessing the impacts of pollution, and for determining the success of interventions designed to reduce pollution. They will gain in depth knowledge of how to bring cutting edge research evidence into local environmental management.

该项目旨在开发和应用一个快速评估工具包，以确定污染对加拉帕戈斯群岛的生物影响。学生将加入一个由获奖科学家和保护专业人士组成的友好和支持团队，他们共同提供项目所需的所有技术培训和支持，尽管加拉帕戈斯群岛作为生物多样性热点的标志性地位，但人类活动对这些偏远岛屿的影响几乎没有受到关注。该项目的新奇之处还在于它将科学与减少污染的实际干预措施的测试相结合。学生将获得一系列高度就业的技能，包括测量和评估污染影响的方法，以及确定旨在减少污染的干预措施是否成功的方法。他们将深入了解如何将尖端研究证据带入当地环境管理。
