PhD Studentship: Rapid characterisation and modelling of marine biofilm deformation for estimating biofouling frictional drag
Overview. Maritime transport emits around 940 million tonnes of CO2 annually. Ships are often fouled by marine biofilms, resulting in increased frictional drag and fuel penalties that can range from minor to very costly, and which contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions.

What does the future hold for European shelf seas ecosystems?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) content has been increasing from the industrial revolution onwards, predominantly due to the combustion of fossil fuel that had trapped the carbon deep underground and away from the atmosphere. Read more
EPSRC iCASE PhD Studentship: AI on the edge: Real-time sea level and wave field calculations on the Mayflower Autonomous Ship
Overview. This project involves the optimisation of the processing and analysis of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to determine accurate measurements of the sea surface from the Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS: . Read more
Exploring The Utility of Transcriptomics Data in Toxicology
One of the challenges for the future of agriculture is to sustainable increase food production, using only the same or ideally less land area, to provide the quality and quantity required to meet the needs of an increasingly affluent & growing human population and simultaneously mitigating climate change and protecting or regenerating biodiversity.

Offshore wind farms effects on ocean fronts and seabirds
Research Group:
Institute of Life and Earth Sciences
The UK is a global leader in marine renewables, and offshore wind farms (OWFs) are predicted to expand rapidly in future. However, potential deleterious biodiversity impacts mean we must do more to quantify and mitigate such effects and guide policy decisions. Read more

Energy, Technology, Behaviour, Culture and Regulation; The complex problems and transition engineering solutions for the future of local, sustainable fishing
Research Group:
Institute of Life and Earth Sciences
Picture an idyllic fishing village in the British Isles. City dwellers flock to these places for respite and to soak up the quaint historical scenery and great fresh seafood. Read more

Characterising the dynamics around offshore wind farms by combining machine learning and oceanographic techniques.
Project Description. This project will use data science techniques and satellite data sets to better understand how offshore wind farms can impact the ocean. Read more
Last chance to apply
Using an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate pollution impacts and antimicrobial resistant pathogen dynamics across terrestrial, estuarine and marine environments
Project Description. The impact of environmental change on pathogen dynamics and AMR evolution from catchment to coast. Coastal environments are particularly vulnerable to chemical and microbial pollution that impact ecosystem services and human health. Read more

Exploring geovisualisations as place-based planning tools for collaborative marine and coastal management
Research Group:
Institute of Life and Earth Sciences
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate with strong GIS and analytical skills, individuals with experience in computer programming languages are particularly encouraged to apply. Read more
Oceanographic drivers of habitat use in tropical atoll lagoons: a hydrodynamic numerical modelling approach
Applications are invited for four-year PhD studentship. The studentship (funding) is available for 3.5 years and will aim to start on 1 October 2022. Read more

Revealing the hidden identity and toxicity of priority chemical pollutants released during microplastic degradation and additive leaching in marine and coastal environments
Applications are invited for a three-year 8-month PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 1st October 2022. Micro- and nanoscale plastics produced from the decomposition of marine plastic debris pose a severe threat to marine and coastal ecosystems. Read more
