Bundling benefits from peatlands to enable nature recovery
Supervisors. Dr Lydia Cole (University of St Andrews). Prof Frans de Vries (University of Aberdeen). Charlie Davis (Corrour). Prof Bert Scholtens (University of St Andrews). Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Probabilistic Modelling and Uncertainty Quantification for Micro-to-Mesoscale Peatland Dynamics
Peatlands like the Flow Country of northern Scotland are among the world’s most effective carbon sinks. Covering just 3% of the Earth’s land surface, peatlands store around one-third of global soil carbon and significantly moderate atmospheric CO. Read more
Measuring and modelling drained peatland CO2 emission responses to hydrological variations
We are seeking a talented applicant to undertake a PhD with us to measure and model the response of drained peatland CO. 2. emissions to hydrological variations in New Zealand. Read more
Deconstructing blanket peatlands in Northern Ireland towards an understanding of their genesis, hydrology and ability to store carbon
This fully funded PhD project is part of the QUARTILES Doctoral Landscape Award, a BBSRC and NERC-funded research and training programme designed to equip… Read more
IN-PEAT: Impact of Nitrogen deposition on PEATlands in Northern Ireland

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

Assessing Effect of Greenhouse Gases Emission Reduction with Variable Renewable Energy Implementation in Marine Climate Islands
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The UK has set a Net Zero target by 2050, which means no longer adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Read more
Fee Waiver PhD Scholarship: Exploring the market demand and potential for paludiculture crops in the UK
Applications are invited for a PhD Scholarship with tuition fee waivers funded by the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) as part of the University of East London (UEL) Year of Science Festival celebration. Read more
Informing evidence-based perspectives and scenarios on past, present and future landscapes in North Yorkshire
North Yorkshire’s moorlands are shaped by their history of human use and associated social-ecological systems. Demand for medieval wool sustained rough grazing for moor sheep, whilst recently, grazing and heather burning for grouse shooting were preferred to woodland regeneration. Read more
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
Deep Learning for Woodland Soil Biodiversity Identification and Monitoring
Soils are one of the most important reservoirs of biodiversity [1], and soil fauna is a critical component of functioning ecosystems across the world. Read more
