Are you passionate about marine ecology, biodiversity, and environmental science? Interested in exploring how seagrasses contribute to our planet’s future? Then this is for you!
The WATER Lab (Institute of Biology) and the EnviSAGE Lab (Department of Geodetic Engineering) of UP Diliman are looking for thesis students to engage in cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on seagrass biodiversity and blue carbon!
🌿 Possible thesis topics include:
- Vegetation and sediment characterization
- Biodiversity and seascape ecology
- Blue carbon stocks and flux
- Remote sensing & GIS mapping
📍 Field Sites: Oriental Mindoro & Tawi-Tawi
This research will directly contribute to the Philippines’ commitments under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) and the UNFCCC on climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Interested? We’d love to have you on board!
