CR2025_18: Migration strategies and activity in a wide-ranging tropical seabird
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted by the Institute of Zoology, London*. Seabirds have complex life cycles, with breeding attempts at colonies on land interspersed with migrations to non-breeding areas at sea. Read more

New nature markets at sea: evaluating stakeholder attitudes to guide policy and practice
Supervisors. Dr Flurina Wartmann (University of Aberdeen). Dr David Bailey (University of Glasgow). Prof Robbie McDonald (Office for Environmental Protection). Read more
Integrating Electrical Machines into Wave Energy Converters
Wave energy is a potential source of renewable electricity production. There is a huge national and global potential, yet relatively few devices have been demonstrated at scale, and almost no commercially viable devices have been demonstrated at sea. Read more
Fate of microplastics in waste waters and sewage sludge used in agriculture – impacts on the terrestrial environment
Microplastics and fibres are widespread in the environment with significant work undertaken in marine environments looking at the fate and uptake of microplastics through the food chain. Read more
COCO-VOC studentship: Sniffing organic gases emitted from atmospheric particulates and understanding their importance
Scientific background. The surface oceans are both a source and sink of a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In the marine atmosphere, these gases react with hydroxyl radicals (OH) and determine the reactivity of the atmosphere. Read more
The impact of ocean warming on nutrient and carbon acquisition of marine plankton
In the evolution of complex life, the uptake of and development of the primary endosymbiotic plastid by the ancestral heterotroph represents a singularity i.e. Read more
ReefNet: Expert-informed Benchmarks and Machine Learning Systems for Coral Reef 2D /3D Visual Understanding
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the University of Reading*. Over the last two decades, ecological monitoring of coral reefs has undergone rapid digitalization. Read more
Enhancing Marine Biodiversity Through Repurposing Manmade Structures with Secondary Coastal Flood Defence Benefits
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Manmade marine structures, such as decommissioned cooling water intake tunnels from power stations, represent significant infrastructural assets that can be repurposed to address pressing environmental challenges. Read more

EASTBIO: Genetic regulation of crustacean shell colour patterning
Shell colour patterning in crustaceans is fundamental to providing them protective camouflage that has likely led to their success in many marine environments. Read more
Metal Transport by Colloids and Particles
Metals typically attach to a wide range of carriers in waters, which can include micron-sized mineral grains and biological material, organic compounds, and colloidal nanoparticles. Read more
Turbulent encounters: Direct Numerical Simulation of a vertical submerged jet interacting with surface waves
Submerged jets play an important role in a number of environmental and industrial processes. Read more
Non-causal High Precision Marine Operations and Monitoring Based on Large Language Model
Project ID: 2531ad1561 (You will need this ID for your application). Research Theme: Engineering. UCL Lead department: Mechanical Engineering. Read more
Electrosensory Dynamics of Crustaceans: Investigating Bioelectric Fields and Climate Change Impacts on Marine Interactions
Exploring Electrical Field Ecology. Unveiling Crustacean Sensory Mechanisms and Climate Change Impacts. Electrical fields (EFs) represent a critical, yet understudied, component of sensory ecology in marine environments. Read more
