PhD / Early-stage researcher (ESR) position - Volcano Geophysics
An early-stage researcher (ESR) position is available in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol to work on volcano geophysics. Read more
Nanoscale boundaries: understanding size effects on the reactivity of ultra-small particles
Background. Nanoscience and nanotechnology explore the special properties and processes that occur in the nanoscale. the size range conventionally considered as 1-100nm. Read more
Understanding Cement-Superplasticiser Interactions in Blended Portland Cement Wasteforms
In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning, by either encapsulating it in cement, or another method, to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more
Understanding Cement-Superplasticiser Interactions in Geopolymer Encapsulants for Safe Disposal of Radioactive Waste
In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning by encapsulating it in cement to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more
PhD at SUERC - Tracking the source of Helium in the huge Virginia Gas Project, Witswatersrand Basin, South Africa.
Summary. Natural gases found in the Witswatersrand Basin, South Africa, contain up to 15% helium, making them the richest helium deposit ever discovered. Read more
Hydro-geochemical evolution of clay-based barriers during infiltration of saline groundwater
Deep geological disposal concepts are preferred solutions for the long-term management of high- level radioactive waste (or higher activity waste) in many countries. Read more
Exploring reactions under stress in the mantle using mineral analogues
Convection in the Earth’s mantle controls Earth evolution. Different mineral assemblages occur at different depths in the mantle and variations over short distances are detectable as seismic discontinuities, thus providing key information on mantle conditions. Read more

Toxic plastic additives and their impact on Antarctic aquatic foodchains
Project Description. This is an exciting and unique opportunity to carry out research at Lancaster University and the British Antarctic Survey on persistent chemicals. Read more
Efficient Compositional Simulation of Reactive Transport in CO2 Storage
CO. 2. injection into geological formations triggers complex physical and chemical interactions at different time and length scales, which are critical to the evaluation of subsurface capacities, operational risks, and storage safety. Read more
Controls on high-grade stratiform Co mineralisation in the Central African Copperbelt (CRITICAL)
Fully-funded 4-year Ph.D position in Critical Metals. Supervision team. Dr. Lingli Zhou (lead supervisor) . School of Earth Sciences, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland. Read more
Novel Additives to Enhance the Performance of Low Carbon Cements for a Net Zero Future
Cement is the ‘glue’ in concrete, the foundation upon which our modern civilisation is built. However, this comes with a huge environmental cost - cement production generates 8% of global CO. Read more
Decision support tools/systems for the remediation of geogenic and emerging contaminants in groundwater in the Global South
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Introduction. Globally, the contamination of groundwater from geogenic (e.g. Read more
Quantifying carbon content in European agricultural land
Farming practices and interventions that sequester and store carbon in agricultural soils can significantly contribute to climate change mitigation, as well as support farmer’s adaptation to increasing frequency of extreme events, droughts and floods. Read more
Application of deep learning to characterise transport of waste-derived gas in Lower Strength Sedimentary Rocks (LSSRs)
This is a 4-year PhD project funded by Nuclear Waste Services after a competitive call for PhD bursary. The topic of research is on use of machine learning for characterising the complex transport of gas in LSSRs. Read more
Testing key assumptions in thermochronology: the case of Ar isotopes in muscovite
The University of Geneva, Switzerland has an extremely strong record in Isotope Geoscience, and is supported by in-house world class analytical facilities, including access to the modern and complementary laboratories at the University of Lausanne, which is located 50km away. Read more
