PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Meteorite impact mass extinctions: Alkali feldspars as a record of impact energy, and an agent of environmental change
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Background and aims. The impact of a ~12 km diameter asteroid sixty-six million years ago caused one of the most devastating mass extinctions in Earth history. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - The geological evolution of C-complex asteroids and their role in the origins of life on Earth
Start date. 01 October 2025. This project asks whether the terrestrial planets including Earth were made habitable by carbonaceous chondrite meteorites delivering bio-essential ingredients including water, organic compounds, nitrogen and phosphorus. . Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Planetary Analogues – Exploring Earth to aid Mars Sample Return
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Aim. This research will identify similarities and differences between the rocks and sand collected on Mars by the NASA Perseverance rover, the associated NASA/ESA Mars sample return analogue materials, and Martian meteorites. Read more
Measuring wind on Mars using orbital imaging data
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
