Interpretable probabilistic AI for quantifying climate impacts on health

University of Exeter

Mathematics and Statistics

Background. Climate change is affecting human health, but evidencing how and by how much, is a challenge. The effects are often indirect, driven by interacting factors like temperature and air quality, while health data are frequently patchy or incomplete. Read more

Supervisors: Dr T Economou, Dr J Salter

13 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Reducing uncertainty in the impact of climate on biodiversity

University College London

Department of Earth Sciences

Background. Species distribution models (SDMs) aim to constrain the response and distribution of organisms to climate change. However, these models are built on ecological monitoring records spanning decades rather than the hundreds of thousands of years and broader climatic landscapes that species have persisted in.

(PhD) Mobile Genetic Elements as key drivers for sustainable Wheat-Fungus Adaptations in a Changing Climate

The University of Manchester

Division of Informatics, Imaging and Data Sciences

As the world confronts pressing global challenges like a projected population surge to 9.7 billion by 2050, climate change, and the rise of pest pressures, innovative strategies to enhance crop resilience are essential for food security and environmental stability. Read more

What causes the ocean to tip? New models for predicting Abrupt Atlantic Ocean Circulation Changes

University of Leeds

School of Earth & Environment

Research Group: Climate-Ice Research Group, Institute for Climate & Atmospheric Sciences

Combining mathematical modelling, palaeoclimate observations and advanced climate model simulations, this exciting and cross-disciplinary project aims to unify the different theories on past and future abrupt climate changes and test the early warning detection of ocean circulation tipping points.

Understanding uncertainty in risk modelling of European windstorms: the East Atlantic pattern and history matching

University of Exeter

Mathematics and Statistics

Background. Extra-tropical cyclones are fascinating storms that have devastating impacts on society. For example, in winter 2013/14, more than 10 extreme storms passed over Europe, leading to total insured losses of more than $3.3 billion. Read more

CENTA 2027-B26 Thermal sensitivity of West African tropical moist forests

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Global air temperatures and the occurrence of heatwaves are increasing and set to continue over the coming century. Plant physiological processes such as photosynthesis are highly temperature sensitive and therefore there are significant potential consequences of climate change for plant function. Read more

Supervisor: Dr SF Fauset

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Integrating Remote Sensing and Field Measurements to Monitor Amazon Forest Climate Risk

University of Leeds

School of Geography

Context. Climate Change in Southern Amazonia. The Southern Amazon faces the greatest climatic threat of all Amazon regions. This region is drier and warmer than ‘core’ areas of the Amazon and has been subject to the most pronounced drying and warming trends. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Galbraith, Dr MA Adami, Prof E Gloor

12 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B27 Mangroves in a changing climate: how increasing salinity alters carbon gain and water use

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Climate change is accelerating sea-level rise, increasing saltwater intrusion into coastal wetlands and exposing mangrove ecosystems to increasingly saline conditions (Acosta-Motos et al., 2017; Dessu et al., 2018). Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Gauthey

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

AI-Integrated Urban Flood Modelling with Adaptive Building Design for Climate-Resilient UK Cities.

Edinburgh Napier University

School of Computing, Engineering & the Built Environment

Urban flooding is becoming increasingly frequent and severe across the UK due to climate change, ageing infrastructure, and intensified land use. Read more

Supervisors: Dr ND Dan-Jumbo, Dr MJ Jowkar

Are European Trees at a Tipping Point? Assessing the impact of recent European heatwaves and droughts on tree growth and mortality

University of Leeds

School of Geography

Forests provide vital ecosystem services by regulating the hydrological cycle (Spracklen et al. 2012), cooling the land surface (Bonan 2008), and storing large amounts of carbon (Pan et al. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Brienen

12 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Physiological detection and tree growth impact of cloud lift in tropical mountain forests

University of Liverpool

School of Environmental Sciences

Tropical cloud forests are biodiversity hotspots, yet their future under climate change remains uncertain. Read more

Supervisor: Dr B Fadrique

18 January 2027 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

CENTA 2027-B11 Learning the changing extremes of European precipitation in a warming climate

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

One of the major challenges for the current and future climate diagnostics is the occurrence of very rare, but extreme intense precipitation events. Read more

Supervisor: Prof G C LECKEBUSCH

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Modelling the Impact of Air Conditioning Demand on the Future UK Electricity System

University of Reading

School of the Built Environment

The UK electricity system is currently undergoing significant transformation as the country moves towards a low-carbon and more sustainable energy future. Read more

Supervisor: Dr R Jones

Identifying climate-proof mechanisms of plant acclimation to freezing temperatures

Durham University

Department of Biosciences

Climate change brings many challenges for the planet’s plants and one of these is the vulnerability caused by erratic temperatures. Read more

Supervisor: Dr PH Knight

How will changing fire reshape carbon storage in African savannas?

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Terrestrial ecosystems absorb approximately a quarter of human CO₂ emissions, helping to slow climate change. Yet efforts to protect and enhance this carbon sink have focused heavily on forests, which are increasingly vulnerable to wildfire and other disturbances. Read more
