NERC GW4+ DTP Studentship: Using Indicators to Advance Multi-(Hazard)-Risk Management
Project Background. This project aims to understand whether existing risk management indicators (observable and measurable characteristics to understand a current state or monitor change) support “multi-(hazard)-risk management” and identify opportunities to strengthen their application in this context.

Investigation of biogeophysical controls on human-landscape-ecology interaction for resilient transportation networks under hydro-hazard risks
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Overview. Hydro-hazards, including floods, droughts, onshore and offshore landslides and storm surges, can pose direct threats to lives and impact livelihoods worldwide by damaging and destroying critical lifeline infrastructure (e.g. Read more

Pandemic Potential of Avian Influenza in the UK: Modelling Cross-Species Transmission and Spillover to Humans
The 2022 Avian Influenza outbreak in the UK is largest on record and the first time farm-to-farm transmission and animal-to-human transmission has been identified[1]. Read more
NERC Panorama DTP - Can you stop a PDC? Assessing the impact of natural and engineered barriers on deadly volcanic flows
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are a major hazard at explosive and dome-forming volcanoes, impacting communities around the world. Read more
Integrated Earth Observation (EO) mapping change across the land and sea
Project Rationale. Satellite data allow the assessment of historic coastal change in the context of natural variability at a global scale. Read more
Multi-hazard earthquake-fire behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular columns
Our futuristic vision for Sustainable and Resilient Structures is one that has transparent expectations of structural performance against time, increased loads, environmental changes and natural disasters. Read more

Hidden depths: deformation and seismic hazard in continental collision zones
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
Ice ablation controlled by natural and anthropogenic particles
Glaciers and ice sheets store 77% of Earth’s freshwater and are key for utility supply, irrigation, and hydropower. Read more
Crustal Deformation and Active Tectonics of Afghanistan
This exciting project aims to advance our understanding of active crustal deformation and continental tectonics for the region of Afghanistan using high-resolution satellite SAR interferometry. Read more
SCENARIO: How do environmental factors and hazards affect the vulnerability, reliability and resilience of small-water supply infrastructure? (SC2023_08)
The provision of safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 requires robust infrastructure. Small drinking-water supplies are used by millions of people and are the foundation of rural water supply. Read more
The dynamics of the earthquake cycle: New insight from field work, experiments and novel microstructural investigations
Slip behaviour at and around faults has been shown to be highly dynamic with variability in behaviour occurring both spatially and temporally. This exciting project explores the underlying physical processes that lie at the core of dynamic slip behaviour by probing the rock record of fault slip. Read more
Investigating magmatic processes and eruption dynamics at basaltic volcanoes by integrating 4D petrological experiments, numerical models of conduit magma ascent and field observations
Volcanoes are amongst the most powerful and dangerous natural manifestations on Earth, and basaltic volcanism is the most common form of volcanic activity. Read more
Fingerprinting storm and tsunami sediment signatures: Assessing future coastal resilience challenges from extreme events
The number of deaths attributed to natural hazards continues to rise, despite progress in implementing disaster risk reduction strategies. Read more
