Depositional and diagenetic controls on fluid flow in fractures: Implications for a potential Geological Disposal Facility hosted in the Mercia Mudstone Group, UK
Objective. The main objective of this PhD project is to develop an understanding of the depositional and diagenetic heterogeneity in the Mercia Mudstone Group and their implications for fluid flow in fracture networks at depth. Read more
EPSRC/NNL - Upscaling fundamental controls on fluid migration in the Mercia Mudstone Group based on 3D multi-scale imaging and modelling
Objective. The main objective of this PhD project is to better understand and upscale the fundamental controls on fluid migration in the Mercia Mudstone Group based on 3D multi-scale imaging and modelling. Read more
How is climate change driving the re-emergence and evolution of anthrax
Bacillus anthracis is the spore-forming bacteria which causes Anthrax. It persists in the environment as inert spores which are ingested/inhaled by susceptible grazing animals. Read more
GREENCDT Evolution of properties of clay and mudstone rocks governing fluid flow in an Excavation Disturbed Zone around a geological disposal site for nuclear waste storage
The excavation disturbed zone (EDZ) is a zone of rock that has experienced enhanced stress relative to the ambient far-field stress field. Read more
Data-driven upscaling for heat transfer and reactive flow in fractured porous media
Research Group:
Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering
Project Ref. JWS2023-JMA. Understanding flow, heat transfer and reactive transport in fractured rocks is of critical importance for a wide range of subsurface processes, including geothermal energy, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen storage and nuclear waste storage. Read more
[UoM / IISc Joint Award] Deep learning assisted image enhancement and analysis to accelerate energy decarbonisation in the subsurface
Multi-scale and dynamic imaging techniques have been demonstrated to be one of the powerful tools in subsurface energy storage materials characterisation to understand how geothermal energy, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and storage solutions for wind, solar and tidal energy can reduce our carbon emissions.

Computational research of multiphase flow in porous media. Reservoir modeling, CO2 storage, upscaling.
The Subsurface Reservoir Flow Group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Tel Aviv University lead by Dr. Avinoam Rabinovich is seeking students for a PhD position in the field of multiphase flow modeling in porous media. Read more
Investigating compositional pathways from source to eruption in the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc using crystal scale isotopes
PROJECT BACKGROUND. Magma compositions at subduction zones control eruptive behaviour and provide critical insight into global geochemical cycles. Read more
Coccolithophore production during recent past warm intervals: unlocking the Southern Ocean’s deepest secrets (acronym: HINTS)
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three-year PhD to commence in October 2023. The PhD will be based in the School of the Environment, Geography & Geoscience, and will be supervised by. Read more

Enhanced crustal fertility facilitates mineral endowment in Meso- to Neoarchaean cratons
Summary. Many late Archaean economic mineral deposits are associated with the re-melting or leaching of older source rocks. Understanding the controls on crustal metal endowment will allow exploration efforts to be focussed on the most favourable crustal regions. Read more
PhD project in Environmental organic chemistry at the Chair for Biogeochemistry at Uni Freiberg (Germany)
The Technical University of Mining and Resources in Freiberg, Germany is a public university in the East German. state of Saxony. Read more
Geochemical impact of CO2 and H2 injection on geomechanical and petrophysical properties of caprock to ensure safe containment: an experimental and analytical approach
The overall aim for the PhD is to develop a comprehensive understanding of geochemical effects on the geomechanics and petrophysics of a wide range of caprocks which can be utilised by bp to understand the potential risks of CO. Read more
