Research opportunities in the Department of Environment and Geography
We offer an outstanding, dynamic and interdisciplinary space in which to carry out PhD research in all aspects of human geography and environmental science, including lab-based, field-based, desk-based and policy-oriented research. Read more
SAVE (Smartness Against Violence in Environments) - Developing smart urban environments to fight violent knife crimes
Despite the alarmingly increasing number of knife-operated incidents reported to occur in urban public spaces globally, the knowledge gaps are identified in perceptions of knife crime as a different type of crime. Read more
Spatial and temporal patterns in baleen whale density estimated using Ocean Bottom Seismometers and other large-scale opportunistic acoustic datasets
Research Group:
Scottish Oceans Institute
Uniting the disciplines of biology and statistics can help us to better understand and ultimately conserve the environment. For example, monitoring the abundance of animal populations over time is important for effective conservation and management. Read more

Wildlife risk assessment for offshore wind energy
Research Group:
Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling
Many nations are developing offshore wind farms as part of the drive towards net zero carbon emissions. Installation and operation of turbines can affect marine fauna, and quantifying the potential risk through environmental impact assessments is an essential part of the permitting process. Read more
Time-to-event statistical models for ecological surveys
Research Group:
Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling
Ecological surveys are the foundation on which evidence-based conservation of the planet’s biodiversity and wildlife resources is built. Read more
Machine learning, data science and mathematical modelling for global health and global environmental health
Global Environmental Health Research Group, School of Public Health, Imperial College London. 2023 – PhD studentship opportunities. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Prediction of environmental-related properties of ionic liquids using group contribution methods
The versatility and wide range of applications of ionic liquids (ILs) offer industry with endless possibilities for sustainable innovation. Read more
Removing organic contaminants from drinking water; testing the effectiveness of a novel water treatment technology
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Although the United Nations General Assembly, through resolution 64/292, explicitly recognized the human right to water and acknowledged that clean drinking water is essential to the realisation of all human rights, still around 663 million people worldwide lack access to an improved water source, making this one of the biggest environmental problems of our time.

Reliability Modelling and Lifecycle Management of Offshore Wind Energy Assets
Offshore wind energy is growing rapidly in the UK and all over the world with thousands of wind turbines installed annually. Read more
The use of exposure models to determine pharmaceutical usage data from measured environmental concentrations
In recent years occurrence of antibiotics in aquatic systems has attracted significant attention, particularly in rivers which receive sewage treatment effluent where they have been found to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms, albeit in trace amounts. Read more
Effect of ground water composition on the design of a nuclear waste disposal facility
Supervision. Prof. Lidija Zdravkovic (ICL), Prof. David M. Potts (ICL), Dr Jon Harrington (BGS). Funding. EPSRC CDT in Nuclear Energy Futures and Nuclear Waste Services (NWS). Read more
Process Industries Modelling to Improve Resilience to Changes to Deliver and as a Result of the Drive to Net Zero
Process industries typically use a large amount of energy to product their products, to reduce environmental emissions and need significant improvements to rise to the challenges of net zero. Read more
Microbial activity on glaciers and ice sheets: an integrated modelling and empirical approach.
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
Glaciers and ice sheets are important microbe-dominated ecosystems, that are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change. Supraglacial (glacier surface) ecosystems contain organisms from all three domains of life, which drive carbon and nutrient cycling, and cause ice darkening, thus enhancing ice mass loss. Read more
