Interpretable probabilistic AI for quantifying climate impacts on health

Background. Climate change is affecting human health, but evidencing how and by how much, is a challenge. The effects are often indirect, driven by interacting factors like temperature and air quality, while health data are frequently patchy or incomplete. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr T Economou, Dr J Salter

Quantifying the extent and intensity of marine heatwaves in a changing climate

Background. Marine heatwaves are prolonged periods of unusually warm ocean temperatures that can disrupt marine ecosystems, fisheries and coastal communities. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr B Youngman, Dr T Economou

Tracking uncertainties from future storms to hazards and decisions

Background. Extratropical storms are a major driver of weather and climate variability across the mid-latitudes, bringing strong winds and heavy precipitation that can cause widespread disruption and economic losses. Read more

Understanding uncertainty in risk modelling of European windstorms: the East Atlantic pattern and history matching

Background. Extra-tropical cyclones are fascinating storms that have devastating impacts on society. For example, in winter 2013/14, more than 10 extreme storms passed over Europe, leading to total insured losses of more than $3.3 billion. Read more

Devolution of agri-environmental policy for enhancing nature and achieving net zero

Background. Land-use policy must reconcile food production with net zero, biodiversity recovery and water-quality goals, often on the same land. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof D Williamson, Dr A Binner
 13 January 2027  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Humanitarian risk pools responding to a changing climate

Background. In order to meet humanitarian needs both before and after disasters happen, risk pools such as Start Ready, African Risk Capacity, and the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility pay out pooled funds to members based on a defined set of triggers, such as flood forecast probabilities.

Compound Wind and Rainfall Extremes over Europe: understanding uncertainties from climate to financial risk

Background. Europe’s most damaging weather rarely occurs as a single hazard. Winter windstorms can coincide with heavy rainfall, severe events can cluster within weeks, and a single weather system can affect multiple countries. Read more

Testing the ability of AI-based regional models to capture hydroclimate changes of the geologic past

Background. Before the Anthropocene, climate changed naturally over the course of thousands of years. However, without instrumental observations, we only can indirectly reconstruct climate from proxies in geologic archives. Read more

Reducing uncertainty in the impact of climate on biodiversity

Background. Species distribution models (SDMs) aim to constrain the response and distribution of organisms to climate change. However, these models are built on ecological monitoring records spanning decades rather than the hundreds of thousands of years and broader climatic landscapes that species have persisted in.
