Fund your Geography and Environmental Science PhD through the NERC INSPIRE DTP bursary
Applications are now open for the 2023 entry round of PhD bursaries, funded by the NERC INSPIRE Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). Read more
Building flood resilience via effective communication
This research will consider a crucial element of disaster risk, our resilience, specifically our resilience to flood disasters. Flooding is a prominent and dangerous challenge to many communities, and one of the main challenges that the UK faces because of the changing climate (DEFRA, 2015). Read more
Particles, Pollutants and Microplastics: Particle Tracking for Environmental Solutions
In 2019 around 90% of the world population was exposed to concentrations of fine particles (less than 2.5 µm diameter) that exceeded World Health Organisation air quality guidelines. Read more
Arctic Dust from Above and Below: Estimating the Unseen Contributions of Northern High Latitude Dust Sources
The global distribution and seasonality of dust emissions are reasonably well constrained, but certain data sources cause dust emissions to be under-estimated and this under-estimation may be particularly biased towards particular types of dust events. Read more
After the Ice: Evolution of Emerging Post-glacial Landscapes induced by a Changing Climate
Emerging post-glacial landscapes are highly dynamic and transient, with periglacial and fluvial processes at work in settings that exhibit a strong legacy of recent glaciation. Read more
Exploring policy interventions to improve equitable access to healthy food
We would expect the candidate to develop a research proposal around the following topic. This project provides an opportunity for the candidate to shape research methods in collaboration with supervisors from academic and local authority organisations, which supports implementation of findings where appropriate.

Understanding the materiality of biodiversity tipping points and using it to enable positive action in the boardroom. NERC RENEW PhD Studentship 2022/23
General Information. The ‘Renewing biodiversity through a people-in-nature approach’ (RENEW) project will work with landowners, businesses, and communities to restore woodlands, wetlands and farmland across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Read more
Fingerprinting storm and tsunami sediment signatures: Assessing future coastal resilience challenges from extreme events
The number of deaths attributed to natural hazards continues to rise, despite progress in implementing disaster risk reduction strategies. Read more

The role of online/social media platforms in climate change information sharing and adaptation policy in Small Island States
Research Group:
Geography and Environmental Studies
There is growing attention on how the public is being informed about environmental challenges and climate change. Read more
Developing a high-resolution spatial model to assess solar photovoltaic panel suitability for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs
Research Group:
Geography and Environmental Studies
Low Carbon Technologies such as solar PV can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and generate electricity for self-consumption, which cut down the import of energy from the grid which is susceptible to energy price shocks. Read more
The Cultural Geographies of Food
Enquiries and applications are invited for PhD project on the Cultural Geographies of Food. Project should encompass one or more of the following themes. Read more
Geographies of disaster risk, climate change adaptation and development
Enquiries and applications are invited for a PhD project on the geographies of disaster risk, climate change adaptation and development. Read more
The relationship between vegetation and morphology in saltmarsh restoration schemes
Managed realignment, where coastal flood defences are breached or lowered to introduce tidal inundation to the coastal hinterland, is becoming an increasingly popular approach to coastal management to restore saltmarsh environments and compensate for habitat and ecosystem service loss elsewhere.
