Tracking ocean circulation in the Cretaceous ‘Chalk Sea’
Ocean circulation is a fundamental component of the modern climate system but may have operated very differently in the geological past, especially when palaeogeography was different, climates were much warmer and sea-levels were considerably higher. Read more
Towards a holistic understanding of carbonate mineralisation controls
Calcium-carbonates (CaCO. 3. ) are climate-controlling minerals, acting as long-term sinks in the biogeochemical carbon cycle, and playing the role of stable carbon stores in many carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies. Read more
Tectonics, sea-level change, and submarine landsliding in the South Caspian Basin
This project aims to determine the tectonic and sea-level history within and at the margins of the South Caspian Basin, in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, and the timings of major shelf collapse within the basin interior. Read more
Reconstructing the Mesozoic record of extra-terrestrial dust flux: implications for seawater chemistry and the solar system
Micrometeorites (<mm particles of extra-terrestrial or interplanetary dust) can be found in ancient sedimentary rocks (e.g. Read more
Milankovitch, tides and marine mixing: drivers of plankton speciation and productivity
A 400 kyr cycle in the carbon cycle has been observed over much of Earth history but has never been rationalised and understood. One of the curious aspects of e.g. Read more
Fate of past submarine volcanic input to the ocean
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are extremely large volumes of extrusive igneous rock, created during relatively short-lived volcanic events during the Phanerozoic, often coinciding with major environmental (e.g., Cenozoic hyperthermals and Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events or OAEs) and biotic change (e.g., mass extinctions).

Cycling of Trace Metals in Framvaren Fjord - Understanding Proxies for Past Marine Conditions
There have been many dramatic changes in climate and the carbon cycle in the geological record, including periods of widespread ocean anoxia and related global climate shifts during Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs). Read more
C3.5-MAC-Leonardi - Building resilient offshore infrastructure: centrifuge modelling of submarine landslides
This PhD project investigates strategies to protect underwater infrastructure, such as subsea power cables, from the impacts of submarine landslides—a growing concern as the UK expands its offshore wind capacity. Read more
Re-evaluating BOEM's Guidelines for Identifying Submerged Pre-Contact Archaeological Sites in the Gulf of Mexico: an Extensive Geoarchaeological Approach
Research Group:
Archaeological and Forensic Sciences
The Submerged Landscapes Research Centre at the University of Bradford is recruiting a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated PhD candidate to undertake research on the submerged archaeological landscapes of the Gulf of Mexico, U.S.A. Read more

Constraining the tempo of Mesozoic Oceanic Anoxic Events using extra-terrestrial He isotopes
Reconstructing past climatic and environmental change from the pre-Quaternary rock record relies on having a robust chronology of events that can be confidently correlated from place to place. Read more
Blind source separation in seismology: exploiting small-amplitude shaking to track ocean waves or subsurface structure
The surface of the Earth moves nearly continuously. It is shaken by wind, ocean waves, meteor impacts, earthquakes, cars, and trains, among other sources. Read more
