  Structural controls on gold mineralization in the Palaeoproterozoic Mako Volcanic Belt, Senegal
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Earth and Ocean Sciences
  Dr J Lambert-Smith, Prof T Blenkinsop
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Project Background. Orogenic gold deposits have strong structural controls on their location and geometry at all scales.

  Weathering of volcanic products in the tropical environment of the Panama Canal area
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Earth and Ocean Sciences
  Dr D Buchs, Dr P Renforth
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Project Background. Weathering of volcanic products in the tropical climate is key to the formation of soils that constitute a critical zone between the lithosphere and biosphere, are associated with significant geotechnical challenges and could possibly play a significant role in the global carbon budget.

  PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences: Antarctic glaciers and rock weathering: Using meteorites to explore ice sheet dynamics and climate change
University of Glasgow College of Science and Engineering
  Prof M Lee, Dr LH Hallis
Applications accepted all year round
Antarctica is our most important source of meteorites. These extraterrestrial rocks have accumulated within glaciers over millions of years, and have been recovered in large numbers from ‘blue ice fields’, which are regions where meteorites are concentrated by the ablation of glacial ice.

  Process Design for Efficient Metal Extraction from Concentrates
University of Leicester Department of Chemistry
  Prof A P Abbott, Dr GRT Jenkin
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
Traditional ore processing is generally carried out using either hydrometallurgy (high cost, low volume, reasonable selectivity) or pyrometallurgy (lower cost, high volume, low selectivity).

  What can hydrocarbon fingerprints tell us about fracking in organic-rich shales?
University of Leicester Department of Chemistry
  Prof P S Monks, Prof S Davies
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
The accurate estimation of the hydrocarbon content of potential source rocks is increasingly important as unconventional sources of hydrocarbons become economically viable and we look manage of our environment responsibly as we try to meet our energy needs.

  (MERI) High temperature properties of airborne dusts and their behaviour in aircraft engines
University of Manchester School of Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Research Group: Atmospheric Science
  Dr M Jones, Dr A Pawley, Prof M Gallagher
Application Deadline: 6 February 2019
CASE STUDENTSHIP WITH ROLLS-ROYCE. Every year, an estimated 2,000 million tonnes of dust is carried up into the atmosphere, mainly during sand and dust storms.

  Olivine, magma and fluids: exploring the origin(s) of platinum-group element mineralization in the Main Zone of northern Bushveld Complex of South Africa.
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Earth and Ocean Sciences
  Dr I McDonald, Dr M A Millet
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Project Background. Long considered barren of metalliferous ore deposits, the gabbronorite dominated Main Zone of the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex of South Africa is now established as a new frontier for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization [1].

  Volcanic ash, soil development and resilience in a changing climate: a case study from Montserrat (BARCLAYUENV19ARIES)
University of East Anglia School of Environmental Sciences
  Prof J Barclay, Dr B Reid, Dr M Cave
Application Deadline: 8 January 2019
Scientific background. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a volcanic island in possession of some ash must become extremely fertile.

  PhD Geographical and Earth Sciences: Meteorite bombardment of Earth at the Triassic/Jurassic boundary
University of Glasgow College of Science and Engineering
  Prof M Lee
Applications accepted all year round
The history of Earth has been punctuated by a series of highly energetic impact events, some of which have significantly affected the terrestrial biosphere.
