On Analysis and Design of Submerged Wave Energy Devices
We invite applications for a Ph.D. position in Marine Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering at the University of Dundee, Scotland. The project aims in analyzing new generation of wave energy devices that are fully submerged, namely an Oscillating Submerged Disc, and a Wave Carpet. Read more
Extensions of the Alber equation and statistical modulation instability analysis for crossing seas
It is well known that nonlinear dispersive equations exhibit modulation instability, a phenomenon linked to extreme events such as rogue waves. Read more
Ocean Mixing Parameterisation via Categorisation of Nonlinear Flow Structures - Project 1: Mathematical Model Development
One of the key challenges for large-scale climate models is to accurately parameterise the mixing which occurs in the oceans. Such mixing occurs at small-scales, well below the grid-resolution of the climate models, and consists of the turbulent exchange of heat and salt between neighbouring regions of fluid. Read more
Ocean Mixing Parameterisation via Categorisation of Nonlinear Flow Structures - Project 2: Experimental Validation
One of the key challenges for large-scale climate models is to accurately parameterise the mixing which occurs in the oceans. Such mixing occurs at small-scales, well below the grid-resolution of the climate models, and consists of the turbulent exchange of heat and salt between neighbouring regions of fluid. Read more
[Ecology and sustainable management of gulls on offshore platforms], [Ecology, Marine biology, Zoology, Conservation] – PhD (Funded)
Location. Environment and Sustainability Institute and Centre for Ecology and Conservation, Penryn Campus, Cornwall. The University of Exeter is inviting applications for a PhD studentship fully-funded by RSKBiocensus to commence on 26 September 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter. Read more
Photocatalytic methanation membrane: A low-energy, low-resource route to biomethane expansion for net-zero
Decarbonising heat and vehicle fuels are the most difficult challenges in delivering net-zero for the UK by 2050. Biomethane already has the potential to replace 18% of natural gas consumption. Read more
Effects of Coastal Change in the selection of a Geological Disposal Facility
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London. Supervisor(s). Dr Ioannis Karmpadakis (IC) and Dr James Lawrence (IC). Read more
Silicon Photonics for methane emissions reduction
Supervisory Team. Professor Goran Mashanovich (UoS/ZIPN). Co-Supervisor. Dr Milos Nedeljkovic (UoS/ZIPN). Co-Supervisor. Read more
Improved time-stepping schemes in weather and climate models
"The task of predicting weather and climate may be reduced to the following iterative procedure. First, given the state of the system at any time (the input), use the governing equations to compute the state at a slightly later time (the output). Read more
Fully-funded PhD positions in several natural sciences & engineering disciplines
Join an internationally renowned scientific community with the Hector FellowPhD program. PhD students benefit not only from the experience of the program, but also from the network of Hector Fellows. Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in inclined gravity currents
Recent research indicates that microplastics – plastic pieces measuring 5 mm or smaller -- are now ubiquitous in the environment, having been found in lakes… Read more
Application of digital holography for marine science
Underwater digital holography is a powerful technique to study marine organisms and marine pollution (e.g. micro-plastics), marine evolution, etc. Read more
