Fingerprinting storm and tsunami sediment signatures: Assessing future coastal resilience challenges from extreme events
The number of deaths attributed to natural hazards continues to rise, despite progress in implementing disaster risk reduction strategies. Read more
Development and exploitation of a high-resolution sea level product in the coastal ocean - SENSE CDT
Scientific background and motivation. Changes in sea level are a well-documented result of global climate change but how these changes impacts on communities requires detailed knowledge of sea level in coastal regions. Read more

Ecological and Environmental Impacts of Extreme Compound Floods: Past, Present and Future Coastal Hazard
The main objective of this PhD is to identify the combination of physical conditions that cause degradation of estuarine ecosystem services during extreme flooding events. Read more
The role of grazing in ecosystem service delivery in saltmarsh restoration schemes
Managed realignment, where coastal flood defences are breached or lowered to introduce tidal inundation to the coastal hinterland, is becoming an increasingly popular approach to coastal management to restore saltmarsh environments and compensate for habitat and ecosystem service loss elsewhere. Read more
Effects of flexible vegetation on oscillatory flow hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics
Coastal vegetation such as seagrass protects against coastal erosion by attenuating wave energy and demobilising suspended sediments. Read more
The relationship between vegetation and morphology in saltmarsh restoration schemes
Managed realignment, where coastal flood defences are breached or lowered to introduce tidal inundation to the coastal hinterland, is becoming an increasingly popular approach to coastal management to restore saltmarsh environments and compensate for habitat and ecosystem service loss elsewhere. Read more
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle with multi-sensors prototype for underwater onsite monitoring
Maritime activities remain a crucial factor to the economy with high expectations for future growth. According to the United Nation, there are more than three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. Read more
Gate Rudder Integrated Wind Assisted Propulsion (GRASP)
Shipping is a vital component of the global economy, but it is also a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
Characterization of the species and functional diversity of mangrove sediment fungi and other microbes
Mangroves are one of the most carbon-rich ecosystems and are the major coastal blue carbon sinks. Read more
Feathered Witnesses: Unravelling the Impact of Habitat Loss on Neotropical Avifauna with Stable Isotope Analysis
Introduction. The Tachyphoninae are a group of Neotropical lowland tanagers. Read more
Light-weight High Performance Concrete for Floating Structures (FAC23/EE/MCE/BRABHA)
This is an exciting project, addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change and the need for sustainable infrastructure, developing light-weight high performance concrete (LWHPC) for modular floating structure through laboratory testing and lots of modelling. Read more
On Analysis and Design of Submerged Wave Energy Devices
We invite applications for a Ph.D. position in Marine Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering at the University of Dundee, Scotland. The project aims in analyzing new generation of wave energy devices that are fully submerged, namely an Oscillating Submerged Disc, and a Wave Carpet. Read more
Exploration of the submerged palaeolandscapes of South East Asia
Research Group:
Archaeological and Forensic Sciences
The University is seeking to a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated PhD candidate to undertake research on the Submerged Archaeological Landscapes of South East Asia, under Dr Fitch’s UKRI FLF funded project “Life on the Edge” (LOTE). Read more
