The impact of peat free compost alternatives on the physical, nutritional and sensory quality of kale
Peat is a finite resource that has been exploited by the horticulture industry, leading to damage of peatland habitats. Peat products are being phased out in the UK and Ireland and replaced with peat-free alternatives, such as biochar, coir, and bark composts. Read more
Re-wetting of peatlands for enhanced restoration (WET-PEAT)
Fully funded EPA PhD Opportunity. “Re-wetting of peatlands for enhanced restoration (WET-PEAT)”. Background. Read more
Predicting impact of climatic warming and its remediation on both discharge and aquatic carbon flux from an upland peat catchment
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Climatic warming has more pronounced impacts in upland areas and these areas are important for water collection, flood control and carbon storage. Remediation and adaptation measures have been developed for impacts on each of these but there is a requirement to assess interaction of these measures to maximise their overall benefit. Read more
Atmospheric transport and orographic rainfall of microplastics
Microplastics are transported in the natural environment by a wide range of processes and as a consequence are found in all environments, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, in urban environments and polar ice caps. Read more

PhD studentship on the restoration of upland peatlands: Sphagnum establishment and peatland carbon balance
Upland peatlands across the UK have been impacted by erosion and pollution which have led to degradation of peatland function. Read more
Removing organic contaminants from drinking water; testing the effectiveness of a novel water treatment technology
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Although the United Nations General Assembly, through resolution 64/292, explicitly recognized the human right to water and acknowledged that clean drinking water is essential to the realisation of all human rights, still around 663 million people worldwide lack access to an improved water source, making this one of the biggest environmental problems of our time.
