We have 28 Environmental Sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students in Newcastle
Department of Social Sciences (Advert Reference: RDF25/ADSS/SOCIALSCIENCES)
These studentships are extremely popular and very competitive. Read more
Impact of recycling on multi-terawatt photovoltaic systems (ReNU+24/EE/MPEE/BEATTIE)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+) is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Unravelling past dryland hydroclimate (RS25/EE/GES/MARKOWSKA)
Our planet's drylands are at the centre of an intriguing climate mystery. These regions, which cover nearly half of Earth's land surface and support 2 billion people, are predicted to expand significantly as our planet warms. Read more
Building a Digital Twin of the Tees estuary to evaluate the resilience of nature-based solutions for nutrient (N & P) capture
Award Summary. PhD in Water Infrastructure & Resilience (WIRe) CDT tax-free annual living allowance of £24,000 (increased by £300 in years 2, 3 and 4 each) + research training support grant + UKRI fees paid. . Read more
PhD Studentships - Process Industries: Net Zero – Development of Sustainable Manufacturing Processes for Confectionery Products
The PINZ CDT will train the next generation of process and chemical engineers, and chemists, to develop the new processes, process technologies and green chemistries required for the process industries’ transition to Net Zero. . Read more
PhD studentship: Understanding the retention and treatment of highway runoff pollutants within roadside bioretention systems – and implications for design and long-term maintenance
Award Summary. This project is part of the Water Infrastructure & Reslience (WIRe) CDT with a tax-free annual living allowance of £24,000 (increased by £300 in years 2, 3 and 4 each), a generous research training support grant + UKRI fees paid. . Read more
Energy-SuDS: The potential of heat exchange in Sustainable Drainage Systems for decarbonising heating and cooling.
Award summary. This project is part of the Water Infrastructure & Resilience (WIRe) CDT with a tax-free annual living allowance of £24,000 (increased by £300 in years 2, 3 and 4 each), a generous research training support grant + UKRI fees paid. . Read more
Assessing the proximity of tipping points in Antarctica using numerical modelling and Earth Observation (ESA25/EE/GES/REESE)
This project will investigate the proximity of tipping points in Antarctica using numerical modelling and Earth Observation. Climate tipping points are critical thresholds that if crossed, can lead to rapid and irreversible changes in the climate system with dramatic consequences for societies worldwide. Read more
PhD Studentship: Using Data-Driven Methods to Model Planetary Atmospheres and Oceans
Award summary . 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). . Read more
Resilient Levees: The impact of changing climate on the performance of UK Flood Embankments
There is no more important challenge in engineering than that presented by climate change. This project aims to establish the vulnerability of the UK levee (flood embankment) network to the impacts of prolonged drought, intense rainfall and ever extreme inundation events. Read more
Water quality monitoring and forecasting through integration of geospatial and remotely sensed data
How can geospatial data from diverse sources, such as satellites, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs), be combined to effectively map, monitor, and predict pollution in freshwater and coastal ecosystems?. Read more
Monitoring the Impact of Green Infrastructure using Citizen Science in Urban and Rural Catchments
Urban and rural environments face a range of pressures and impacts as a result of extreme weather events, including flooding, which are projected to increase in frequency and severity with climate change. Read more
Future-Proofing Urban Water Supply: Antifragile Design for Flood Resilience
In the wake of increasing climate variability, urban areas worldwide are experiencing more frequent and severe flooding events, posing significant threats to water supply systems. Read more
Weighing the Antarctic Ice Sheet: using GNSS observations of solid Earth deformation to understand contributions to sea level change
Recent studies suggest that much of West Antarctica is underlain by weak mantle. This matters, because ice sheet mass balance estimates must be corrected for the process of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and this correction requires modelling of the solid Earth. Read more
An agent-based cellular automata model for analysing climate change risks to rapidly growing cities
In order deliver objective and sustainable future urban development a new suite of modelling tools are required that can assess the temporal dynamics of urban development in relation to multiple climate change hazards (e.g., heat, flooding, drought, vector borne diseases etc). Read more
