Sustainable soil strengthening technique using natural fibres

Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3-year full-time or 6-year part time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Civil Engineering and Surveying, and will be supervised by Dr Mehdi Rouholamin,  Dr Alireza Tatari and Dr Muhammad Ali. Read more

Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture

Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more

Soil biodiversity function in enhancement of tree establishment and growth in urban settings.

It is expected the successful applicant will commence January/March 2024. Project Description. Within the built environment, there is a growing desire to have the presence of a natural element, to assist with general wellbeing of those who work and live there. Read more

Computational modelling of mineral-organic binding in soil

Soils contain large amounts of organic matter (also called “soil organic carbon”). there is three times as much carbon stored in soil than in the atmosphere as CO. Read more

Unsaturated soil hydrology – Soil water retention technology for agricultural production improvement

WATER retention and nutrient recycling in soils and streams for improved AGRIcultural production (WATERAGRI) is a H2020 Research and Innovation project that aims to re-introduce and enhance sustainable solutions for water retention and nutrient recycling to enable agricultural production that can sustain growing populations and cope with present and future climate change challenges.

THE ROLE OF REWILDING IN RESTORATION: SOIL MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS

The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (HIE) is offering a research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to work on a project focussed on the role of rewilding in restoring soil microbial biodiversity and their functions. Read more

MScR: Species-rich grassland creation – analysis of soil samples.

Since World War II, approximately 97% of species-rich lowland meadows in the UK have been lost due to land use changes. Attempts to restore such biodiverse habitats, through agri-environment schemes and restoration of derelict land, indicate that soil conditions are often key influences on biodiversity. Read more

Particle-scale modelling informed by experimental evidence to improve the prediction of macroscopic responses in geomaterials

Soils are discrete geomaterials, composed of i) a particulate solid phase, and ii) a fluid phase, filling up the porosity. Despite their discrete nature, soils are regarded as continua in the theories of soil mechanics and in conventional geotechnical design. Read more
