Understanding and predicting sensitivity of Amazonia’s forests to increasing heat and drought

Tropical forests fulfil important roles both for climate and biodiversity. They are exposed to a range of pressures including an increasingly hotter and erratic climate as well as changing atmospheric composition (particularly CO2 and N2O levels raising) (Lapola et al., 2023). Read more

The Impact of Climate Change on Timber in Construction

Construction delivery and operation accounts for 34% global final energy use and 37% energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions whilst extracting finite resources and destroying natural habitats. Read more

Native tree reinforcement of slope stability during establishment at the A83 Rest and Be Thankful

This 4-year project, funded through Forest Research, aims to evaluate mechanical and hydrological mechanisms of slope stabilisation during the ongoing establishment of native tree species at A83 Rest and Be Thankful, an area prone to extensive and disruptive debris flows that are widely reported in the media. Read more

Identification of tree species based on UAV captured images

Computer Computer vision technology has been found to be an important application in remotely sensed data understanding. This research exploits high‐resolution images captured by UAV payload cameras to identify tree species. Read more

Advancing dispersion modelling of radioactivity releases resulting from increasingly frequent Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (ChEZ) wildfire events.

The April 2020 fires that ravaged the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (ChEZ) were the most extensive to have ever occurred - burning large areas of heavily contaminated land that could have released significant quantities of radioactive material across the whole of Europe. Read more

Mechanochemical greenhouse gas capture into silicate-based rocks

This PhD project will explore how mechanochemical carbon dioxide capture process can be translated into industrial ore processing systems for three major ore deposits (copper, iron and platinum group ores). Read more
