What can the paleo-record tell us about tropical peatlands?” Geography – PhD (Funded)
Research Group:
Geography
Project Description. Project Background. Tropical peatlands are the most carbon-dense ecosystems in the world and they store the equivalent of ~10 years of global fossil fuel emissions in their soils (Page et al., 2011). Read more
Understanding and improving the assessment of wind risk to Irish forests
Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Furthermore, their ability to help regulate the atmosphere in terms of capturing and storing carbon means they are a key component in helping to battle climate change. Read more
Carbon Agri-Tools: Accounting and decision support systems for calculating emission reductions and removals in carbon farming initiatives
Teagasc Irish Agriculture & Food Development Authority
Johnstown Castle, Environment Research Centre
Context. Agriculture is an important contributor to the rural economy and is a key source of greenhouse gases (GHG’s), which are also collectively known as carbon emissions. Read more
Justice-oriented Energy Transitions and the Role of Smart Technologies in Emerging and Developing Countries
University College London
Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (UCL STEaPP)
UCL’s Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) is inviting PhD applications (including a 2-page proposal) on the topic “Justice-oriented energy transitions and the role of smart technologies in emerging and developing countries”. Read more
Developing new techniques to identify fugitive methane emissions and their sources
Methane is a major greenhouse gas and so contributes to climate change. Cranfield and Schlumberger are offering an iCASE PhD studentship, developing practical methods to monitor methane emissions from point source emissions such as oil and gas facilities. Read more
Climate Justice and Just Transition in South Lanarkshire
REFERENCE NUMBER. Please quote reference number SCEBE/21F/SLC/Mattar. Candidate should send a 1) CV and 2) a cover letter to demonstrate suitability and capacity to conduct this PhD. Read more
Photocatalytic methanation membrane: A low-energy, low-resource route to biomethane expansion for net-zero
Decarbonising heat and vehicle fuels are the most difficult challenges in delivering net-zero for the UK by 2050. Biomethane already has the potential to replace 18% of natural gas consumption. Read more

Microbial and biogeochemical processes through the ocean-sediment continuum
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
The interface between the ocean and subseafloor sediments is a critical boundary that influences life in the deep biosphere, the transport and transformation of organic carbon and nutrients, and the global carbon cycle. Read more
Microbial activity on glaciers and ice sheets: an integrated modelling and empirical approach.
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
Glaciers and ice sheets are important microbe-dominated ecosystems, that are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change. Supraglacial (glacier surface) ecosystems contain organisms from all three domains of life, which drive carbon and nutrient cycling, and cause ice darkening, thus enhancing ice mass loss. Read more
Using an ice core bubble barometer to answer: “How big was the Antarctic ice sheet in the past?”
Brief summary. Bubbles of air in ice cores remember the pressure of the overlying air when they are trapped and thus could be used to monitor of the height of the ice sheet over time - but only if the processes during bubble trapping are fully understood. Read more
