Improving our understanding of the atmospheric sulfur cycle and its impact on air pollution and climate
Project summary. Particulate matter (PM) is a major air quality challenge, estimated to be responsible for >29,000 equivalent deaths a year in the UK alone, and also represents a major uncertainty in current climate model predictions due to both the direct and indirect effects on the earths radiative budget.

NERC GW4+ DTP Studentship: Marine arsenate to phosphate ratios as a modulator of global marine primary production and oxygenation
Project Background . Phosphorus is a macro-nutrient important for all life forms. It is the backbone of nucleic acids responsible for faithfully preserving and transferring genetic information from parents to offspring. Read more
How do natural and ship emissions influence marine atmospheric sulfur, aerosol composition and acidity?
This project has been shortlisted for funding by the. ARIES NERC DTP. Applications are invited for a 3.5 years PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 01 October 2023. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP PhD project: Understanding the Impact of Pollutants on Aquatic Life: Machine Learning, Synthesis and Transport Mechanisms
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the NERC Great Western Four+ Doctoral Training Partnership (GW4+ DTP) for entry in October 2023. Read more
The role of biofouling on the performance and survivability of dynamic subsea cables in floating offshore renewables
This PhD scholarship is offered by the Aura CDT in Offshore Wind Energy and the Environment; a partnership between the Universities of Durham, Hull, Newcastle and Sheffield. Read more
The Bottom-Up Ocean: Do marine sediments control ocean chemistry?
In this project you will use new and exciting experimental and analytical approaches to investigate how minerals in marine sediments help control the concentration and isotopic composition of rare earth elements (REE) in sediment porewaters and seawater. Read more
Submerged peatlands – Characterisation, Vulnerability and Management
Marine sediments store almost twice as much organic carbon as terrestrial soils, and can remain buried for millions of years if left undisturbed. Read more
Testing the links between mass extinctions, volcanism and ocean chemistry
Why do some large volcanic eruptions create mass extinctions whilst others don’t? There is an emerging link between volcanically driven mass extinctions, such as those at the Permo-Triassic boundary and the end-Triassic, the development of anoxia, and low concentrations of sulfate in the oceans (He et al, 2020).

Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Chemistry project: Cryo-electron microscopy study of the molecular mechanism of genome packaging by dsDNA viruses
Lead supervisor. Prof Fred Antson (Department of Chemistry). Co-supervisors. Dr Paul Fogg (Department of Biology) Dr Oliver Bayfield (Department of Chemistry). Read more
The Molecular Blueprint for Marine Biomineralization in a Changing Climate
Contribute to our understanding of the ocean’s feedback mechanisms on atmospheric CO2 through application of molecular tools to investigate the genetic control of calcification in marine organisms. Read more
Worms v sediment: the rise of burrowing and oxygen levels in the early Paleozoic
Nearly all marine strata are intensely reworked by the burrowing activities of animals, especially worms. These produce churned-up sediment in which the thin bedding is destroyed. Read more
Investigating the stoichiometry and binding of trace elements to marine particulate matter
This project has been shortlisted for funding by the. ARIES NERC DTP. Applications are invited for a 3.5 years PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 01 October 2023. Read more
Improving future predictions of the ocean biological pump in climate models
Project Background . The ocean regulates the Earth’s climate via, in large part, the biological carbon pump (BCP). The BCP comes from the coupling between the marine ecosystem and the settling of particles into the deep sea, resulting in a net removal of atmospheric CO2. Read more
Antimicrobial discovery from marine actinomycetes using genome mining approach
Research Group:
Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP)
Huge progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of natural product biosynthesis has been made in the last two and a half decades. Read more
E4 DTP The rise of coccolith calcification
Summary. This project will address the evolution of biomineralization in haptophytes, potentially triggered by changing oxygen concentrations in the oceans in deep time. Read more
