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
Digitally enabled development of sustainable metamaterials to create circular alternatives to current unsustainable parts widely used in industry
Manufacturing causes ~20% of global carbon emissions and ~50% of energy use [e.g. 1]. The UK’s third climate change risk assessment [2] suggests the climate crisis has caused irreversible damage. Read more

CR2025_58: Windstorms in a changing climate
Windstorms, a particularly hazardous form of the low-pressure systems that typically occur in the mid-latitudes in the autumn and winter, are one of the most important natural hazards impacting the UK. 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

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
