Autogenous diagenesis of limestone waste (FES-PhD-2425-01)
Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical and biological processes that ‘turn’ sediments into rock (1,2). As sediments become buried by natural processes, they are subject to overburden pressure and raised temperatures, albeit lower than those that cause metamorphism (2,3). Read more
The gas geochemistry of hydrothermal resources in the Eastern Caribbean
Volcanoes provide the heat and fluids that drive active geothermal systems, and their hydrothermal features. Read more
Plastic everywhere: novel analytical approaches to quantifying nano-plastics in the environment
The vast industrial production of plastic products over the last 50 years has produced a new set of widespread environmental contaminants. Read more
Multiparametric geophysics and geothermal resources
Geothermal fluids are rich in heat and can hold a wealth of valuable minerals. A key challenge is finding these fluid reservoirs and assessing important parameters such as porosity, permeability and conductivity. Read more
Metal Transport by Colloids and Particles
Metals typically attach to a wide range of carriers in waters, which can include micron-sized mineral grains and biological material, organic compounds, and colloidal nanoparticles. Read more
Granular geophysics: models of particle-laden flow
This project is defined by its methodology rather than the applications. Applications will be determined by the student in discussion with the supervisors. Read more
Fate of past submarine volcanic input to the ocean
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are extremely large volumes of extrusive igneous rock, created during relatively short-lived volcanic events during the Phanerozoic, often coinciding with major environmental (e.g., Cenozoic hyperthermals and Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events or OAEs) and biotic change (e.g., mass extinctions). Read more
Hydrological controls on the Vaiont landslide
The Vaiont landslide occurred in 1963 in northern Italy and has perplexed researchers ever since. Recently, however, new geological information and interpretations have led to an entirely new framework for understanding the event. Read more
PhD Studentship: NERC Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT). Improving flood protection across scales: novel geophysical methods to investigate vulnerable linear flood defences.
Award Summary. 100% of home fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate), plus research project costs. Read more
Investigating (bio)geochemical trapping of CO2 on geological timescales
Geological carbon storage will be critical to lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. However, the inability to ensure safe storage and assessing leakage risks has resulted in delays in issuing permits and slowed industry growth1. Read more
PhD Studentship: NERC Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT). Assessing the eco-hydrological and geomorphic effects of floodplain restoration
Award summary . 100% of home fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate), plus research project costs. . Read more

Fluid-rock interaction in the Cretaceous Atlantic rift and influence on rift lake chemistry, diagenesis, and sources of CO2
The connection between tectonic evolution, magmatism, and hydrothermal fluid flow along continental margins is critical to predicting mineralizations, petroleum and geothermal energy systems. Read more
