Long-term climate change risk scenarios for nuclear disposal and storage
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The Project. The long-term safe geological disposal and storage of nuclear waste represents one of the most significant challenges to the nuclear energy sector, with implications spanning timescales far beyond typical human decision-making frameworks. Read more
QUARTILES DLA: Historic Erosion, Erosion Susceptibility and Heritage at Risk: Effective Heritage Management Strategies in the Face of Climate Change at Scotland’s Coastal Promontory Forts
This fully funded PhD project is part of the QUARTILES Doctoral Landscape Award, a BBSRC and NERC-funded research and training programme designed to equip… Read more
Unravelling past dryland hydroclimate (RS25/EE/GES/MARKOWSKA)
Our planet's drylands are at the centre of an intriguing climate mystery. These regions, which cover nearly half of Earth's land surface and support 2 billion people, are predicted to expand significantly as our planet warms. Read more
An agent-based cellular automata model for analysing climate change risks to rapidly growing cities
In order deliver objective and sustainable future urban development a new suite of modelling tools are required that can assess the temporal dynamics of urban development in relation to multiple climate change hazards (e.g., heat, flooding, drought, vector borne diseases etc). Read more
Unravelling climate pressures on fish life histories in the world’s hottest sea through a novel proteomic and isotopic approach
Fish life histories can change in response to global warming. Climate-driven alterations in life history traits, such as size, growth, and reproduction, could profoundly impact ecological risk assessment and ecosystem-based fisheries management. Read more
AI-Based Predictive Analysis of Climate Influence on Vector-Borne Disease
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Machine Learning for Assessing Impact of Stress Cycling due to Temperature Changes on Damage Accumulation in Rail (C4-MAC-Jones)
Rolling contact fatigue and wear of rail contribute heavily to Network Rail’s £1,800 annual track renewal and maintenance costs. Many studies have focussed on the mechanical aspects of the damage, but ignored the impact of temperature changes, particularly those occurring over a single day. Read more
