Effect of bed roughness on the spreading and dilution of gravity currents

University of Bradford
Faculty of Engineering and Informatics

Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments

Prof Y Guo

Applications accepted all year round

Gravity current is frequently encountered in natural (e.g. saltwater intrusion in estuary) and men-made environment (e.g. mining solution; desalination).

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Development of a mobile platform for Quantum Technology gravity instrument

University of Birmingham
Department of Civil Engineering

Dr N Metje, Prof D N Chapman

Applications accepted all year round

Understanding what is buried in the ground and what is the condition of the ground (soft areas, low density) is vitally important to deliver safe and in budget construction projects, especially large projects such as HS2 and Crossrail and reduce the risk due to buried hazards such as mineshafts.

Developing exercise countermeasures for the prevention of musculoskeletal deconditioning in reduced gravity (RDF19/HLS/SER/WINNARD)

Northumbria University
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Dr A Winnard

Application Deadline: 25 January 2019

Exposure to hypogravity environment causes musculoskeletal deconditioning. Primarily, this deconditioning is seen in the lower limbs and spine.

Queen Mary University of London
School of Mathematical Sciences

Dr M Godazgar

Applications accepted all year round

The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a PhD project commencing in January 2019.

NERC Panorama Doctoral Training Partnership - Wave-induced transport of chemically active species in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere

University of Leeds
School of Chemistry

Prof J Plane

Application Deadline: 7 January 2019

Tides, planetary waves and gravity waves play major roles in establishing the thermal structure and general circulation of the mesosphere/lower thermosphere (MLT) region of the atmosphere (70 - 120 km).

SCENARIO: Trapped lee waves as a source of low-level drag on the atmosphere

University of Reading
Department of Meteorology

Research Group: SCENARIO NERC DTP

Dr MA Teixeira, Dr SL Gray

Application Deadline: 25 January 2019

Atmospheric models used for numerical weather prediction and climate modelling have large uncertainties in their representation of small-scale processes that contribute to uncertainties in the large-scale movement of air termed the atmospheric circulation.

University of Bath
Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering

Prof N J Mitchell

Application Deadline: 7 January 2019

This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the NERC Great Western Four+ Doctoral Training Partnership (GW4+ DTP).

The Milky Way’s Super Massive Black Hole

University of Leicester
Department of Physics and Astronomy

Dr S Nayakshin, Dr R Alexander

Application Deadline: 21 January 2019

In the first decade of the century, observations firmly established existence of a supermassive black hole called Sgr A* residing in the very heart of the Milky Way.
