PhD studentship - Decarbonisation of Heating (Fixed Term) - at the BP Institute University of Cambridge
The project will explore some of the challenges associated with the decarbonisation of heating through use of a combination of approaches of energy efficiency and use of renewable heat generation systems, with particular reference to challenging buildings such as in Cambridge Colleges, and with a view to establishing some general principles through modelling and data collection and analysis.

Ripple formation under different atmospheric conditions
Aeolian ripples are the common self-organized bedforms formed by wind-blown sand on Earth and some extraterrestrial surfaces. They are characterized by periodical wavy morphology with wavelength (ripple spacing) in a few centimeters and amplitude (ripple height) in a few millimeters. Read more
