coastal PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 92 coastal PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Investigating the role of coral reefs in wave dissipation
Project overview. The research will investigate the wave dissipation effects of coral reefs based on three-dimensional modelling of storm waves using a supercomputer. Read more
Are extreme rainfall events more frequent in a warmer world?
Project overview. Predicting future rainfall patterns remains highly challenging and there is a profound disagreement amongst climate model projections. Read more
Assessing sedimentary Blue Carbon to inform marine management
Project overview . Marine sediments contain massive amounts of ‘blue carbon’ isolated from the atmosphere for millennia. Net carbon flux into sediments and the influence of human activity and changing climate is poorly quantified. Read more
PhD student in ocean flow and flow-structure interaction
A PhD student position is potentially available (depending on funding availability) in as early as Spring 2025 or Fall 2025 semester at the City College of New York (CCNY) of the City University of New York (CUNY). Read more
How do sandy clinoforms develop?
Clinoforms are inclined stratigraphic surfaces that encompass rounded sedimentary bodies which build out from shallow to deeper water environments. Read more
A multidisciplinary study of dune environments; past to present
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
When blue spaces turn brown: understanding the influence of poor water quality on blue health (dis)benefits
Water environments, or blue spaces, such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and coastal waters are an important natural resource that support biodiversity, underpin food and energy production, supply drinking water, promote tourism and enable recreational opportunities. Read more
CR2025_61: Quantifying trends in global wetland-associated biodiversity loss
The world’s wetlands are of critical importance to human health and well-being, providing key ecosystem services including protecting coastal areas from storms, food and fuel provision, improving water quality and recharging groundwater aquifers (Zedler & Kercher 2005). Read more
