Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) for transformative change: Addressing multi-hazard vulnerability in the context of risk-informed development.
Summary. Disaster risk weakens climate adaptation. This PhD will explore the DDR-CCA nexus by assessing the vulnerability of adaptation assets to multi-hazards; and examining the transformative potential of risk-informed development. Read more
Climate change adaptation in construction organisations
The effects of climate change, including extreme weather conditions, temperature increases, and floods, are increasingly evident worldwide. Read more
CR2025_38: Shining a light on short-term response of insects and their predators to climate extremes: harnessing the potential of automated AI camera and audio systems
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology*. Declines in wildlife are increasingly being reported across the globe, giving stark warnings for the perilous state of biodiversity. Read more

Developing a Digital Twin for enhancing resilience of critical coastal infrastructure to compound, multi-hazard and cascading risks
We are recruiting new Doctoral Researchers to our EPSRC funded Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) PhD studentships starting 1 October 2025. Read more
Protecting UK infrastructure from landslides triggered by climate extremes
Background. Landslides impact the railway network on average three times per week, and their frequency has increased by >50% in the last ten years. Read more
Implications of wetland creation for mosquito-borne disease risk
Wetlands are crucial habitats for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem integrity. However, newly constructed wetlands could have implications for mosquito communities and disease risk by increasing habitat availability. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Improving power distribution network preparedness to severe weather events involving compound hazards now and in the future
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Physically-based Hydrological Modelling for National Climate Change Risk Assessments
The Climate Change Committee produces a UK-wide Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) every five years in accordance with the Climate Change Act of 2008. Read more
CR2025_24: Keeping pace with climate change: facilitating species dispersal through productive landscapes.
Protecting biodiversity underpins our ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The UK is one of the most biodiversity-depleted countries1, primarily due to land-use change (e.g. Read more
Uncertainty in the economy and in sea-level rise: gaming robust strategies for coastal resilience
Background. Sea-level rise (SLR) responses in coastal cities involve multi-decadal lead times, and human decisions face budgetary and climate uncertainties under scientific updates. Read more
Building social-ecological resilience to human-wildlife conflict in western Ethiopia
Crop-raiding by wild animals poses a significant livelihood challenge to rural communities worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where population pressure, environmental and socio-economic change is driving the encroachment of farming into new areas that puts people in conflict with wildlife. Read more
CR2025_43: Predicting the surprises: Extreme events in Northern Europe
Extreme weather events are increasingly causing physical and economic damages, and casualties. Read more
Adaptation to extreme environmental change: Consequences of multiple stressors for species interactions and their extinction risk
The increasing rate at which climate change is occurring, and the frequency and magnitude of change, means that environments can be unpredictable, they can change abruptly, and they can be extreme. Read more
