Investigating the Generation, Consumption and Migration of Natural Hydrogen
Hydrogen is an essential component of the energy transition replacing fossil fuels as a carbon-free alternative. Hydrogen can be sourced in many ways, all of which produce different by-products. Read more

Open project in the Geosciences: UCL Earth Sciences PhD Scholarship (Kathleen Lonsdale scholarship)
UCL Earth Sciences Ph.D. scholarship (Kathleen Lonsdale scholarship). This scholarship supports a full 4-year doctoral studentship at UCL’s Department of Earth Sciences to promote the most talented students, and create a greater diversity in academia. Read more
Tracking the fate of ocean carbon within the ice shells of icy moons
Project highlights. Conduct pioneering experiments investigating the fate of oceanic carbon within the ice shells and at the surface of Europa, Enceladus and other icy ocean worlds. Read more
4D multiscale characterization of the hydromechanical behaviour of clay rich rocks – understating the engineered barrier-natural system interface for GDF
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Any GDF system will be located in a highly complex geological host lithology that will have multiple units each with different mechanical, thermal, compositional properties and different permeabilities. Read more
Tracing the evolution of mantle volatiles through time and space
Over the course of Earth history, volcanism and tectonic processes have concentrated volatile elements at Earth' surface, where they have been fundamental in sustaining life. Read more
Towards net zero: Materials characterisation to improve the chemical safety case for deep geological disposal of waste
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear energy is a clean energy source with one of the smallest carbon footprints which produces more electricity on less land than any other clean energy source, such as windfarms. Read more
Heat and liquid CO2-induced carbon alteration and cycling in a back-arc hydrothermal system
Overview. Hydrothermal systems in the Western Pacific are predomiantly associated with back-arc spreading. Among these, the Okinawa Trough stands out as one of the most extensively studied back-arc system globally. Read more
Macaronesian climate change, early human occupation and erosion
New lake evidence suggests that humans reached the Azores 700 years earlier than historical records show, possibly a result of different wind directions associated with warmer conditions of the early Middle Ages. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Sink or Swim? Modelling Crystal Settling and Flotation in the Lunar Magma Ocean
Start Date. 01/10/2025. Aims. This project will develop a new generation of dynamic magma ocean models that incorporate thermo-chemical convection and crystal segregation of a crystallizing magma ocean cooled from the top. Read more
A novel low-energy technique for cleaning up radioactively contaminated soils
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear energy will play a key role in the UK’s strategy to achieve net zero carbon by 2050. However, the high cost and intergenerational burden of decommissioning and waste management remains high and there is a need to reduce the costs of decommissioning and clean-up. Read more
PhD Studentships in the School of Environment, Earth and Ecosystem Sciences
The School of Environment, Earth and Ecosystem Sciences at The Open University (Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) invites applications for the following full or part-time PhD studentships open to all nationalities. Read more
TARGET: Tracking critical minerals using ice sheet dynamics
Project Highlights. ● Critical mineral dispersal. ● palaeo ice sheet dynamics and glacial sediment prospecting. Read more
Volcanic fluid flow and release of greenhouse gases as drivers for the Paleocene-Eocene hyperthermals
Simulations of Earth’s response to current and future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are limited by our current knowledge of Earth-climate feedbacks, creating large uncertainties in numerical climate models. Read more
Investigating (bio)geochemical trapping of CO2 on geological timescales
Geological carbon storage will be critical to lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. However, the inability to ensure safe storage and assessing leakage risks has resulted in delays in issuing permits and slowed industry growth1. Read more
Iron oxyhydroxide nanoparticle crystallisation and transformation during radioactive effluent treatment: Application to the Enhanced Actinide Removal Plant
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The treatment of radioactive effluents is a key process in the decommissioning of nuclear sites in the UK and worldwide. Read more
