SCENARIO - Moist processes and their interaction with storm tracks (SC2023_09)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Co-supervisors. Prof. Thomas Spengler, Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, Norway. Prof. Valerio Lucarini, Department of Mathematics, University of Reading. Read more
Nonlinear systems of PDE and vectorial Calculus of Variations in L∞ (L-infinity)
The calculus of variations is, roughly speaking, the mathematical theory of how to minimise or maximise magnitudes. Variational problems from science typically require minimisation of an average magnitude over a space-time region depending on unknown quantities. Read more
SCENARIO: New approaches to ocean state analysis for climate and forecasting applications (SC2023_43)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Reconstructing present-day and past ocean temperature salinity and circulation states is critical both to making long-range weather and climate forecasts and for understanding how the ocean has responded over the last century to imbalances in the Earth’s energy budget due to global warming.

Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics of Associative Polymers for Healthcare and Sustainable Applications: Computer Simulations and Mathematical Modelling
Introduction. Associative polymers are macromolecules containing associative groups, also called stickers, that undergo reversible association to physically cross link the polymers into transient networks. Read more
SCENARIO: Generating and evaluating the next generation of ensemble atmospheric dispersion forecasts (SC2023_42)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Many hazardous events including volcanic eruptions, chemical or radiation releases, industrial fires and wildfires, release aerosols and gases into the atmosphere. Read more
SCENARIO - Strengthening links between agri-environment management and pollination services for cost-effective bee conservation (SC2023_24)
Project. Pollination by bees and other insects is vitally important for UK agriculture, improving production by around £630M. However, despite these benefits, pollinator populations are in decline due to changes in land use, land management and climate. Read more
SCENARIO: Understanding the diversity in the AMOC response to climate change (SC2023_21)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a system of currents in the North Atlantic which involves warm water flowing northward in the upper ocean, balanced by a southward ‘return’ flow of cold water at depth. Read more
SCENARIO: Understanding and improving AMOC forecasts in inter-annual to decadal climate prediction (SC2023_22)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Decadal prediction is a rapidly growing field that forecasts the evolution of regional climate several years to decades ahead by using information from the current state of the climate. Read more
SCENARIO: The impact of high resolution modelling on mineral dust forecasts over West Africa using the ECMWF integrated forecast system (SC2023_02)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Dust storms are a major driver of poor air quality in many parts of the world, particularly in West Africa. During dust storms particulate matter thresholds are regularly exceeded, contributing to premature mortality. Read more
SCENARIO: New space-borne perspectives on the global carbon cycle: untangling role of complex vegetation canopies in novel satellite observations (SC2023_15)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Understanding the global carbon cycle is of the utmost importance to understanding climate change, and yet our observations of the individual components of the carbon cycle are surprisingly uncertain. Read more
SCENARIO: Maximising the value of observational data in ensemble data assimilation for hazardous weather prediction (SC2023_30)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
In a changing climate, an improved ability to forecast hazardous weather is key to the management of risk for society. In weather forecasting systems, large numerical models solve nonlinear equations describing physical processes in the atmosphere. Read more
SCENARIO: Machine learning driven balance relationships for next generation data assimilation systems (SC2023_27)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Are you fascinated by the complex models and systems that are used to produce weather forecasts? Are you a physicist/engineer/mathematician/meteorologist/computer scientist who would like to work towards a PhD with the Met Office in this important area of scientific endeavour?. Read more
SCENARIO: How will extreme weather affect the energy sector in Europe under climate change? (SC2023_19)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Weather affects both electricity supply and demand, for example during still and cold winter days when low supply from wind turbines coincides with high demand for heating. Read more
SCENARIO: Climate Feedbacks through reactive greenhouse gases (SC2023_06)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
How much climate change we might get in future depends on feedback loops that can amplify or dampen climate change. Atmospheric chemistry plays a crucial, but neglected part in these feedbacks. Read more
SCENARIO: Quantifying UK hydroclimatic variability on centennial timescales (ref. SC2023_01)
Water resources management systems have evolved to accommodate the range of hydrological variability experienced over decades – typically, the period from the 1960s/1970s, which is when most UK river flow records commenced. Read more
