QUADRAT DTP: Biogeochemical cycling in paddy soils: Impact of climate-smart water management
BACKGROUND. Rice is a dominant human food but also the most water-demanding staple crop globally. This high-water use is due to its cultivation; in flooded field it requires 2-3 times more water than other arable crops. Read more
Water-table management in lowland agricultural peatlands for climate change mitigation
Project overview. Peatlands are carbon-rich wetlands that occupy just three per cent of the world’s land surface area (12% in the UK) but store a similar amount of carbon to all terrestrial vegetation, as well as supporting unique biodiversity. Read more
Understanding the economic consequences of changes in water availability and water policy in Scotland: a computable general equilibrium analysis
The focus of this project is to analyse the economic consequences of changes in water availability in water abundant regions, with a focus on Scotland. Read more

QUADRAT DTP: The future of irrigated agriculture in Europe's mountainous regions; exploring trade-offs and synergies for climate adaptation
This project will address the need for sustainable agricultural water management strategies under climate change. It will explore the trade-offs between (changes in) water availability, crop water demand, irrigation practices, and other socio-economic factors. Read more
High frequency water quality sensor networks for monitoring hot spots and hot moments of urban and rural water pollution in real-time
Urban water pollution and quality concerns within densely populated river catchments are amongst the most pressing environmental and public health challenges faced by societies on the planet, impacting ecosystem functioning and water and food security. Read more
Stream synchrony: understanding the synchrony of nutrients, pollution, and water in river ecosystems
Rivers convey and transform the water, nutrients and pollutants they receive from the landscape. High concentrations of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus may act as pollutants, damaging freshwater and estuary ecosystems through processes such as eutrophication. Read more
Overcoming socio-economic barriers to develop a ‘beyond compliance’ culture of water reuse in Scotland.
Globally, populations face water shortages driven by growing demand alongside an increasingly unpredictable supply exacerbated by climate change. Read more

Identifying and monitoring sustainable, climate-resilient management alternatives for UK lowland peatland using remote sensing PhD
This is an exciting PhD opportunity combining novel field, analytical and remote sensing techniques to develop an evidence-based strategy for managing fenland peat. Read more
‘Manure trading’: a novel socio-economic lever to promote effective diffuse pollution management in agricultural catchments?
We are seeking a highly motivated individual to carry out PhD research in the field of water quality protection and environmental economics. Read more
Using sensors, satellites and artificial intelligence to improve catchment-scale modelling and nowcasting of microbial risks to water quality
Background. Scotland’s rivers, lakes and public bathing waters provide substantial benefits to local economies and the broader wellbeing of its citizens, but these benefits can be significantly impaired where episodes of poor microbial water quality impose restrictions on recreational use of water bodies. Read more
Does antimicrobial resistance in river water pose a risk to human health?
Project Background. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms adapt, such that they no longer respond to antimicrobial drugs, making infections harder to treat. Read more
NERC Panorama DTP - Estuarine morphology: Understanding atypical behaviour and evaluating flood management scenarios
Overview. The Humber estuary and surrounds are home to 500,000 people, 120,000 ha of agricultural land, and industries worth over £17.5bn GVA. Read more
Hydrological response to agricultural land degradation in the Lesser Himalayas
India, as many areas of the world, is experiencing widespread rural to urban migration, coupled with rapid population growth. Read more
