PhD Studentship: Using Data-Driven Methods to Model Planetary Atmospheres and Oceans
Award summary . 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). . Read more
NERC IAPETUS PhD Studentship: Laboratory modelling of internal tsunami generation due to ice calving
Award Summary. 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Significant additional funding given to cover laboratory costs and, national and international travel (conferences and collaboration). Read more
Modelling ice sheet response to abrupt climate changes to understand their role in Dansgaard–Oeschger events
This PhD project will use complex and state-of-the-art coupled climate-ice sheet modelling to investigate how ice sheets responded to abrupt climate changes that occurred during the last glacial period (80,000-30,000 years ago). Read more
Predicting Abrupt Atlantic Ocean Circulation Changes
Combining mathematical modelling, palaeoclimate observations and advanced climate model simulations, this exciting and cross-disciplinary project aims to unify the different theories on past and future abrupt climate changes and test the early warning detection of a tipping point in Atlantic Ocean circulation.

Monitoring Scotland’s fresh waters from space: re-engineering the state-of-art using artificial intelligence.
Scotland’s freshwater ecosystems are under significant pressure from a range of stressors including inputs of diffuse pollution from agriculture, wastewater spillages from combined sewer outflows, and the increasing occurrence of hydroclimatic extremes (Marsden & Mackay, 2001). Read more
Investigating the Impact of Warmer UK Summers on Urban VOC Concentrations and Air Quality
This PhD project aims to evaluate how projected increases in summer temperatures, driven by anthropogenic climate change, will influence volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in the UK and their role in shaping future urban air quality. Read more
Afroalpine food webs: predator response to land use and climate change in high mountains
Species can adjust to change through changes in their behaviour and ecology in response to specific disturbances from human activities, including competition with domestic animals. Read more
Weighing the Antarctic Ice Sheet: using GNSS observations of solid Earth deformation to understand contributions to sea level change
Recent studies suggest that much of West Antarctica is underlain by weak mantle. This matters, because ice sheet mass balance estimates must be corrected for the process of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and this correction requires modelling of the solid Earth. 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
Integrated Food and Water Planning for the Blue Nile Basin
Providing food security is one of this century’s most important challenges and can be affected by a range of factors, including global crises such as pandemics… Read more
Adaptation strategies, environmental impacts, raw materials and costs of infrastructure systems
This project will quantify the material requirements and costs for infrastructure systems such as Air conditioning units, flood defences in cities. Read more
Predicting marine biodiversity heatwave vulnerability at management relevant scales: A novel approach for adaptive conservation
Applications are invited for three 3.5 year PhD studentships with the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth. The studentships are due to start on 1st October 2025. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Traits innovation and elaboration in marine ecosystems
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
The evolutionary genomics of life-history adaptations in pinnipeds
Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus) are keystone marine predators, and sentinels for marine ecosystem health. Read more
Adaptation to extreme environmental change: Consequences of multiple stressors for species interactions and their extinction risk
The increasing rate at which climate change is occurring, and the frequency and magnitude of change, means that environments can be unpredictable, they can change abruptly, and they can be extreme. Read more
