peat PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 11 peat PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Modelling and measuring agricultural management on peat soils to enhance removals and sequestration of carbon (MAPSERS-C)

Ireland and New Zealand aim to at least halve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and reach net zero carbon by 2050. A significant contribution common to both countries national GHG estimates comes from grassland over drained organic (peat) soils with upper estimates of approximately 9Mt CO. Read more

Sensor platform for large scale monitoring of peatlands

Sensor platform for large scale monitoring of peatlands. About the project. Aim. The health of our peat bogs is vital in the fight against climate change because they are one of the most effective natural carbon sinks, storing vast amounts of carbon dioxide over thousands of years. Read more

Does peatland restoration mitigate or liberate metal contamination from historic tin mining sites? Karen

Quantifying the aquatic and terrestrial impacts of historic metal mining sites is crucial, as surface waters from these protected historic environment features are commonly used for drinking water, despite failing water quality standards for metals (manganese, nickel, cadmium, lead) and metalloids (arsenic). Read more

Quantifying the impact of upland valley mire restoration activities on ecohydrological function

Quantifying the effects of upland valley mire restoration activities is critical given these often-overlooked components of inter-dependent peatland complexes are themselves in poor condition and are negatively impacting the blanket bogs surrounding them. Read more

Environmental Impact of Construction on Peatlands

Reducing greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions is one of the main goals of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement (signed in 2015 during COP21) which seeks to limit the global raise in temperature to 1.5 °C. Read more
