oceanography PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 88 oceanography PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
ACCE+ DLA programme: Understanding and predicting regional sea level variability using simple models
Please note that this project is mainly based at the National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool. Understanding of coastal sea level dynamics is essential for predicting it. Read more
Listening out for marine snow, NERC GW4+ DTP PhD studentship for September 2025 Entry Ref: 5411
Supervisors. Lead Supervisor Katy Sheen, Department of Earth and Environmental Science. Additional Supervisors. Sari Giering, National Oceanography Center Southampton, Ocean BioGeosciences . Read more
Acoustics, marine mammals and canyons: using underwater sound to monitor dynamic marine environments
Project Overview. Sound can be used to understand ocean biophony, geophony and anthropogenic processes and their interactions. Read more
Coupling of seismic and electromagnetic signals at ocean floor sensors
Project overview. We can obtain complementary information about the composition of Earth’s mantle and crust from seismic and electromagnetic signals. Read more
Keeping up with ocean change: Using robots to push the envelope in ocean carbon observing
Project overview. Ocean robots (sensors and vehicles) can offer the spatial and temporal coverage required to observe ocean acidification and the rapidly changing carbon cycle. Read more
Phytoplankton diversity: changes in community composition and function in the NE Atlantic
Project overview . The NE Atlantic Ocean is warming, and consequently plankton communities are shifting towards smaller cells. Read more
Assessing sedimentary Blue Carbon to inform marine management
Project overview . Marine sediments contain massive amounts of ‘blue carbon’ isolated from the atmosphere for millennia. Net carbon flux into sediments and the influence of human activity and changing climate is poorly quantified. Read more
Windstorms and atmosphere-ocean coupling around Greenland in a changing climate (RENFREW_UENV25ARIES)
Scientific background. Arctic climate change and the associated sea-ice retreat are having significant impacts on both the atmosphere, the ocean and their interactions. Read more
Ocean’s Methane sensing using novel surface plasmon resonance technology
Supervisory Team: Rand Ismaeel, Matthew Mowlem. Project description. Ocean monitoring is a critical need, and it is closely related to human survival. Read more
Understanding Reversals of Earth’s Magnetic Field
Background. Earth’s core has generated a magnetic field for billions of years. However, the nature of that field has varied considerably through time for reasons that are still poorly understood. Read more
NERC IAPETUS PhD Studentship: Laboratory modelling of internal tsunami generation due to ice calving
Award Summary. 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Significant additional funding given to cover laboratory costs and, national and international travel (conferences and collaboration). Read more
Connecting warming patterns to clouds: the role of atmospheric circulation
We invite applications from qualified and highly motivated students for 3.5-year PhD Studentships in the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences (SEES) at the University of St Andrews. Read more
Compound Extreme Events in a Warming World: From Drivers to Impacts
We invite applications from qualified and highly motivated students for 3.5-year PhD Studentships in the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences (SEES) at the University of St Andrews. Read more
