Can car sharing schemes work in rural areas of Scotland and can this achieve sustainable transport?
Shared mobility practices such as. Car sharing systems (CSS) are intended to reduce car ownership, reduce the private car fleet, improve mobility, and traffic congestion while offering advantages for drivers such as total cost of ownership (TCO) and flexibility for drivers. Read more
A new model for information literacies of community representatives
Cycling routes have been identified as an area for development to significantly reduce carbon emission and support health and wellbeing by encouraging active travel. Read more
Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) for transformative change: Addressing multi-hazard vulnerability in the context of risk-informed development.
Summary. Disaster risk weakens climate adaptation. This PhD will explore the DDR-CCA nexus by assessing the vulnerability of adaptation assets to multi-hazards; and examining the transformative potential of risk-informed development. Read more
Life Cycle Energy Saving Strategies and Evaluation Framework for Pre-1919 Constructions
Background. Buildings account for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 30% of carbon emissions in the UK. Energy saving in the built environment is a critical focus area to meet government targets for reducing carbon emissions, which are supported by the continuous updates to building regulations.

Sustainability as a Target Value to Strengthen Decarbonization in the Built Environment!
Our time is characterized by climate changes that impose sustainability in every industrial activity, an additional objective to our design and construction processes. Read more
Spatio-temporal drivers of insect biodiversity and conservation
The School of Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. Read more
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
Fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete utilising waste materials
The UK's vision for net-zero is a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. The UK's net-zero strategy outlines proposals to decarbonize all sectors of the UK economy. Read more
[HUMS Bicentenary PhD] High-resolution modelling and geo-visualisation of socio-spatial inequalities in infrastructure access in England
The PhD project aims to provide a more robust approach to differentiate socio-spatial inequalities, in terms of area type and different socio-demographic group, in access to infrastructural amenities and services across multiple spatial scales in England. Read more
Assessment Framework for Inclusive Sustainable Public Places
Traditional social life. While the social aspect is the most recognisable benefit known for urban places, many other benefits could be identified. Read more
Digitally twinned rating systems for low energy housing in Scotland.
This PhD Project aims to develop innovative ‘digitally twinned’ rating systems for low energy housing in Scotland. Energy efficiency is becoming a pressing issue that must be addressed in current and future housing developments. Read more
Communicating the air: identifying better methods to support public engagement with air pollution to help minimise air pollution exposures
Air pollution is a public health emergency (Holgate, 2022), responsible for an estimated 8.1 million global premature deaths every year (Health Effects Institute, 2024). Read more
Spatial decision support analysis for sustainable mobility policies.
This PhD project aims to develop a spatial framework to integrate sustainable mobility into current urban transport planning policies. Read more
Aiding emergency services by detecting floods in urban areas using radar satellite data and machine learning
In this novel and timely research, we aim to improve the management and protection of urban areas floodplains and wetlands by using cutting-edge satellite images and drone data to develop field-tested methodologies to monitor flood level and extent on a weekly basis to inform flood risk management strategies.
