Can car sharing schemes work in rural areas of Scotland and can this achieve sustainable transport?
Shared mobility practices such as. Car sharing systems (CSS) are intended to reduce car ownership, reduce the private car fleet, improve mobility, and traffic congestion while offering advantages for drivers such as total cost of ownership (TCO) and flexibility for drivers. Read more
Rural, grid-independent vehicle charging microgrids.
The push towards net zero is leading to the increased electrification of systems, especially transport. Rural locations are increasingly more vulnerable to increased electrification, as the existing utility grid is significantly weaker, and less likely to be able to support the required increase in electrical load.

Elucidating interactions between rumen-derived fungi and bacteria via a biobank of simplified microbial communities
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
Are rural e-bike routes manageable and cost-effective?
Cycling routes have been identified as an area for development to significantly reduce carbon emission and support health and wellbeing by encouraging active travel. 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
Power Generation in Rural Communities
