Understanding anomalous glacier fluctuations

Summary. This field-based project will utilise geomorphology, tephrochronology and remote sensing to better understand how Icelandic glacier fluctuations can be decoupled from climate drivers. Read more

Community benefits of landscape restoration in Scotland – measuring, mapping and monitoring social impacts

Summary. Landscape restoration is expanding in Scotland, with unclear and contested impacts on local communities. This PhD project will identify ways to capture those impacts and assess whether appropriate benefits are created. Read more

Arctic climate variability and societal impacts 500-1500CE

Summary. The project will investigate the variability of the Greenland climate during the period 500-1500CE to better understand its role in driving societal change for the Dorset culture, Norse and Thule Inuit. Read more

Bayesian Modelling the Spatial-Temporal Evolution of Natural Hazards

Summary. You will develop a new Bayesian framework for forecasting the occurrence and evolution of natural hazards by adapting a cutting edge spatio-temporal modelling package, originally developed for ecological systems. Read more

Sounds of the River: Hydroacoustic and seismic monitoring of sediment transport

Summary. In order to better understand sediment transport as bedload, you will deploy new monitoring technology alongside machine learning of the output on key rivers in Scotland impacted by rewilding and nature-based engineering. Read more

Impacts of volcanically induced climate change on medieval Icelandic farm abandonment

Summary. This interdisciplinary project uses down-scaled climate predictions to explore Medieval Icelandic farm settlement and abandonment patterns and possible links to global volcanic-induced climate change. Read more
