Assessing the coupled geothermal potential of abandoned coalfields and stability of mine workings in the Yorkshire region
1. Project Summary. Flooded mine workings can provide ambient temperature storage. Geothermal potential of abandoned coal mines in the UK is a greener energy solution. Read more
Seismic characterisation and monitoring of urban geothermal reservoir
Geothermal energy provides an attractive solution for decarbonising heating and cooling. systems in the urban environment. Many urban centres are underlain by potential geothermal. Read more
Developing a Digital Twin for enhancing resilience of critical coastal infrastructure to compound, multi-hazard and cascading risks
We are recruiting new Doctoral Researchers to our EPSRC funded Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) PhD studentships starting 1 October 2025. Read more
Enhancing CO2 injection well integrity with novel cements and predictive damage models
We are recruiting new Doctoral Researchers to our EPSRC funded Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) PhD studentships starting 1 October 2025. Read more
Concrete under fire
Concrete remains one of the mostly widely used materials in the world and fundamental to society. However, it is also a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions representing 8% of global CO. Read more
Shrinkage cracking in Fibre Reinforced Concrete
This project will investigate the early age cracking behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC). Large scale experiments are planned to investigate the cracking behaviour of restrained slab elements containing various amount of fibre reinforcement. Read more
Reliability Analysis of Fibre Reinforced Concrete Structures
Fibre reinforced concrete is characterised by its post cracking strength. Determining these properties can be subject to a high degree of scatter which may otherwise lead to low characteristic values which may be adopted in design. Read more
Could in service life concrete carbonation lead to negative emissions?
Research Group:
CDT in Green Industrial Futures
This advert will close once a suitable candidate has been found. This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). Read more
Effect of accelerated carbonation on the microstructure of lime-stabilised earth bricks
The University of Bath Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change invites applications for the following PhD project which is part of a joint PhD programme between the University of Bath and Monash University in Australia. . Read more
Breathing Materials: Regenerative catalysts for healthier exhalative structures
The University of Bath Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change invites applications for the following PhD project which is part of a joint PhD programme between the University of Bath and Monash University in Australia. . Read more
Water quality monitoring and forecasting through integration of geospatial and remotely sensed data
How can geospatial data from diverse sources, such as satellites, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs), be combined to effectively map, monitor, and predict pollution in freshwater and coastal ecosystems?. Read more
Monitoring the Impact of Green Infrastructure using Citizen Science in Urban and Rural Catchments
Urban and rural environments face a range of pressures and impacts as a result of extreme weather events, including flooding, which are projected to increase in frequency and severity with climate change. Read more
New design methodologies for open pit mines of reduced carbon footprint for the extraction of green economy metals
A key policy objective of the United Kingdom government is to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. This requires the decarbonization of all the major sources of emissions direct and indirect, i.e. Read more
Investigation of thermal properties of soils for offshore wind power cable design
The offshore wind industry is growing exponentially to meet climate change and energy transition goals. Power is transmitted to shore via cables trenched into the seabed. Read more
Achieving Material Efficiency in Modern Floor Design based on Human Acceptability
Background. The production of construction materials is a significant source of carbon emissions, and the way of achieving low carbon in construction is to enhance material efficiency. Read more
