NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Ice Meets Ocean: Investigating the Dynamic Behaviour of a Marine Terminating Greenland Glacier using a Combined Geochemistry-Modelling Approach
Project background. The Greenland ice sheet contains enough water to raise sea level 7m, and is currently losing over 250 billion metric tons of ice per year. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: The Oxidation State of the Earths Mantle
Project background. The mantle acts as the tape recorder of Earth’s history, preserving a record of early continent formation and the subsequent plate tectonic recycling of crustal material. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: To Eat or Not to Eat? Planktonic Predator-Prey Dynamics in a Warming Ocean
Project background. All consumers, from microbes to whales, exhibit preference for different food types through behaviour and physiological limitations (usually linked to prey size). Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Disappearing Soils: Understanding Timescales for Rehabilitation of Degraded Soils
Project background. Since the arrival of agricultural techniques to Europe around 6000 years ago, high rates of soil erosion have degraded soil across the continent, resulting in thinning soils. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Assessing Urban Resilience to Flooding for Adaptation Strategies Under Change
Project background. Urban resilience treats cities as integrated social-ecological systems capable of absorbing and adapting to disturbance while retaining essential structure and functions. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Microtextures, Microchemistry and Geochronology of the Upper Critical Zone of the Bushveld Complex: Constraints on Cumulate Formation and PGE-Chromite Ore Genesis
Project background. The Bushveld Complex is the world’s largest layered intrusion and ore deposit. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: The Heterogeneity of the Plume Mantle
Project background. Mantle plumes are one of the most spectacular geological features on Earth. They form from the buoyant rise, and subsequent melting, of deep-seated mantle components. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Early Evolution of the Palaeogene Mull Volcano: An Integrated Volcanological, Geochemical and Geochronological Approach
Project background. Volcanological and petrogenetic research in the various eroded volcanic centres of the North Atlantic Palaeogene Igneous Province (NAPIP) have greatly informed our understanding of processes in both caldera volcanoes and flood basalt magmatism (e.g., Gooday et al., 2018). Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Environmental and Health Impact Evaluation of Food Consumption Interventions in Developing Countries
Project background. The food consumption patterns in the developing countries have witnessed critical change in past decades. As a result of rapid socio-economic transformation, diets have been transitioning from starchy-food-dominant style to a more diverse pattern with increased animal-based products. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Physical and Social Recovery from Large Earthquakes, Wenchuan, China
Project background. The economic, social, and physical consequences of large earthquakes can extend for decades after the shaking stops. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Does Seamount Subduction Generate or Suppress Large Earthquakes?
Project background. In subduction zones, oceanic lithosphere is pulled beneath overlying ocean or continent, meaning that seafloor topography can exert a strong control on the plate boundary interface. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Future Weather Hazards and Compound Climate Risk
Project background. This project will explore causality between weather hazards/extreme climate events and underlying or concurring environmental conditions, identified as one typology ‘compound risk’ (Zscheischler et al., 2020). Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Carbon Dioxide Weathering of Glacial Rock Flour: Implications for Post-Snowball Increase in Seawater Phosphate Content and Atmospheric Oxygenation
Project background. It has been suggested that the delivery of glacial rock flour to seawater during the melting of the Neoproterozoic Snowball earth glaciations 720-650 million years (Myr) ago, stimulated ocean-atmosphere oxygenation by providing nutrients to primary producers. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Modelling the Impact of Surface Melt on Antarctic Ice Shelf Stability
Project background. Floating ice shelves modulate the flow of ice towards the ocean, and are vulnerable to changes in both the atmosphere and ocean. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP studentship: Tropical Weathering of Volcanic Products in the Panama Canal Area
Project background. Weathering controls the formation of soils that constitute a critical zone at the interface between the lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Read more
