Integrating modern and long-term ecology to inform UK peatland fire management in a changing climate
Applications are invited for a 3.5 years PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 01 October 2025. Project Description. Scientific background . Read more
Deep learning for surface water flood risk mapping and forecasting (Ref: FCDT-25-LU7)
Flooding – the most wide-spread natural hazard – affects every country and region of the world. Flood risk is expected to increase due to climate change, as evidenced by recent recurring UK summer and winter floods. Read more
Heathland flammability responses to environmental change (CENTA 2025-B18)
More extreme weather events are being felt across the globe, driven by increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Shifts in regional climate and weather are a critical influence on wildfire occurrence and behaviour, influencing the spread and intensity of burning of vegetation. Read more
Building a comprehensive, climate-conditioned, environmental modelling system using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
This project will. · Address several pressing environmental challenges by using expertise in computational and environmental modelling, data analysis, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Read more
Predicting Synergistic Effects of Multiple Stressors on Estuarine Hydro-Ecological Resilience

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
University of Bath URSA project: Reducing Urban Heat Risk for Deprived Neighbourhoods
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
Investigating the effects of environmental change on tropical montane bats
Project overview. PhD opportunity to investigate the impact of environmental change on tropical montane bats in Malaysia. The project combines ecological research methods and pollen analysis to study bat community composition, pollination network, and environmental influences. Read more
Inclusion in green jobs: Exploring policy and programmes which can Foster Inclusive Green Employment
Research Group:
Business and Management Studies
The transition to a decarbonised economy is not only essential to halting climate change, but is also a driver of economic growth with the potential to create millions of green jobs. Read more
Understanding the role of complexity and diversity in riparian woodland resilience to extreme events.
Maintaining the quality of freshwater habitats is essential for the health and wellbeing of people and wildlife. Native woodlands within the riparian zone (riparian woodlands) play multiple roles in the functioning of freshwater ecosystems. 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
Timing is critical: improving our understanding of global landslide risks (CENTA 2025-B21)
Landslides produce an estimated €6Bn in damage to global infrastructure and cause ~14000 deaths per year worldwide. However, given the poorer coverage of the global south, these figures are also likely to be underestimates. Read more
The midlatitude jet and multivariate compound weather extremes: risks to UK infrastructure (CENTA 2025-B10)
Storm Isha (21st -22nd January 2024) brought gusts of 69-81 mph to the northern UK. Damage to infrastructure resulted in widespread power cuts and travel disruption. Read more
