Full waveform seismic processing for mineral exploration
The search for very deep deposits is becoming more and more important in mineral exploration. Due to the absence of surface indicators and the prohibitive cost of deep drilling, indirect methods, such as geophysical surveys, are essential in such context. Read more

Sports Science: Fully Funded PhD Scholarship: The effect of mineral rich Algae with and without plant-based protein supplementation on endurance exercise performance
Funding providers: Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering and Marigot Ltd. Subject areas: Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Thermal Physiology. Read more
Exploring reactions under stress in the mantle using mineral analogues
Convection in the Earth’s mantle controls Earth evolution. Different mineral assemblages occur at different depths in the mantle and variations over short distances are detectable as seismic discontinuities, thus providing key information on mantle conditions. Read more
PhD Studentship in Molecular Dynamics Modelling of Bone Tissue
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of mechanics of bone across the scales, leading to the award of a PhD degree. Read more
Understanding the role of microorganisms in the formation of iron sulfides in the sedimentary record
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
The iron sulfide mineral greigite, Fe. 3. S. 4. , is found widely in nature, especially in sulfate-reducing diagenetic sedimentary environments. Read more
Ph.D. Fellowship on ‘Reducing the carbon footprint of cement through the CO2 mineralization of recycled concrete’– Grenoble (France)
We are looking for a candidate for a Ph.D. fellowship application in the field of mineralogy and mineral trapping of CO2 in recycled concrete. Read more

Testing key assumptions in thermochronology: the case of Ar isotopes in muscovite
The University of Geneva, Switzerland has an extremely strong record in Isotope Geoscience, and is supported by in-house world class analytical facilities, including access to the modern and complementary laboratories at the University of Lausanne, which is located 50km away. Read more
Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials
Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more
Control of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion
The regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion is of fundamental importance for calcium homeostasis and in mineral conditions affecting bone and the kidneys. Read more
Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”
PROJECT TITLE. Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”. Lead Institution. Read more
Are oxidative stress and dysregulated mitophagy involved in the progression of feline chronic kidney disease?
Feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a heterogeneous syndrome responsible for >1 in 8 deaths of cats over 5 years of age. Mineral bone disturbance… Read more
Project at Cranfield University: Carbon sequestration in agricultural soils through silicate weathering
One of the most promising ‘geo-engineering’ methods to mitigate climate change is to capture CO. 2. from the air and react it with silicate rocks to form carbonate rocks, so permanently sequestering the CO. Read more
Fungal Ice nucleation: Moulding our environment?
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. · Work with Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and the University of Warwick to establish why various fungi cause ice to form in the environment. Read more
Development of a plasma process and spectroscopy measurement for the extraction of rare earth ions from aqueous solutions
The Biomaterials for Medical Imaging (BIM) laboratory of the CHU de Québec – Université Laval works in collaboration with a major Canadian research center on mineral technologies. Read more
