Decision support tools/systems for the remediation of geogenic and emerging contaminants in groundwater in the Global South
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Introduction. Globally, the contamination of groundwater from geogenic (e.g. 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
Development of materials for environmental monitoring and remediation
. A healthy environment brings enormous benefits, however, our current lifestyle causes continuous release of a broad range of harmful contaminants. Read more
Environmental remediation of persistent organic pollutants, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances
PFAS are a group of >4,700 man-made chemicals used across a range of applications such as fire-fighting foams, waterproofing for clothes, and non-stick cookware, among others. Read more
AI-Embedded Robotic Multi-Sensory Characterisation and Decontamination “Toolkit”
Fully Funded PhD Studentship. AI-Embedded Robotic Multi-Sensory Characterisation and Decontamination “Toolkit”. Project Description. Read more
Modelling biochar-colloids fate and transport in the subsurface
Groundwater and soil pollution is a cause of concern for drinking-water sources, as toxic chemicals continue to contaminate subsurface reservoirs via wastewater, agricultural runoff, storm water, air pollution, and polluted soils. Read more
Nature-based solutions: reducing the environmental impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antibiotics in constructed wetlands for sewage treatment PhD
This exciting fully funded PhD is sponsored by EPSRC and UK water utilities, with a stipend of £18,000 per annum (plus fees). This project will deliver strategies to eliminate the emerging contaminants (e.g. Read more
Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces
Droplet interactions with functional surfaces play a crucial role in many important physical processes, from preventing virus laden droplets passing through face masks to reducing the build-up of ice on the surfaces of flying aircraft. Read more
Sustainable Alternative Routes to Chemicals and Fuels via Hydrothermal Processing
The global climate emergency presents pressing challenges around identifying sustainable routes to fuels and chemicals, the production of which currently relies on fossil and other unsustainable resources. Read more
Engineering Active Colloids for Applications
Active Colloids are nano and micron scale particles that can move autonomously within fluid environments, powered by surface chemical reactions. Read more
Foam improved oil recovery
Typically in oil and gas production, only a small fraction of the oil present manages to flow out of an oil reservoir under the reservoir’s own pressure. Read more
Structural Changes in Metal-Organic Framework Materials
A 3.5 year fully funded PhD studentship may be available in the following area. Please contact Tom (tdb35@cam.ac.uk, @thomasdbennett) in the first instance. Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in inclined gravity currents
Recent research indicates that microplastics – plastic pieces measuring 5 mm or smaller -- are now ubiquitous in the environment, having been found in lakes… Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in partially saturated soils
Recent research indicates that microplastics are now ubiquitous in the environment. Read more
Macroscopic capillary pressure in multi-phase porous media flows
