PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences: Scaling up Greening the Grey and Eco-engineering Science through partnership with coastal infrastructure asset managers: creating co-benefits for science and operational practice
Do you want to do cutting edge research that is also useful for improving ecosystem services in our coastal cities and towns? Are you interested in using marine ecology and coastal geomorphology science to enhance ecosystem services on coastal engineering assets? If yes, this project will hopefully excite and appeal to you!. Read more
Impacts of environmental change on UK coastal ecology for nature based solutions
Project Rationale. Nature-based solutions to natural hazards and environmental change offer the potential to protect, sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems while providing multiple other benefits for health, the economy and society. Read more
New techniques to monitor the evolution of coastal hazard from space
Background & Motivation: Coastal flood and erosion risk is a global issue influencing communities and critical infrastructure. Read more
Developing resilient hospitals through agent-based modelling
Approximate one-fifth of UK confirmed COVID-19 cases and the majority of the infected frontline healthcare workers are associated with healthcare-acquired infections due to contaminated built environments. Read more
Coastal Protection with Nature
This opportunity will close as soon as a suitable candidate has been found and so early applications are encouraged. Read more
The transport of plastics and alien particles under waves
While substantial fundamental research has been conducted in recent decades on sediment transport under waves,, little is known about the behaviour of alien particles dispersed within a sand bed mobilised by waves. Read more
Analytical and numerical modeling of innovative strengthening materials (Fiber Reinforced Polymer and Textile Reinforced Mortar) applied on brittle supports
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites and Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) materials represent an effective retrofitting strategy for the rehabilitation of masonry and concrete structures. Read more
Abalone larval dispersal networks: Toward a sustainable future for regional harvesting in South Africa
Project Advert. In South Africa (SA) the wild abalone fishery (Haliotis midae), the most valuable fishery per unit harvest, has suffered extensive poaching since the 1990’s (10 times legal quota), causing stock collapse. Read more
Large Scale Restoration of Coastal Ecosystems: Assessing Protective Benefits (NICHOLLSR_U21ERC)
This studentship is funded for three years nine months and is part of the European consortium project REST-COAST (Large Scale Restoration Of Coastal Ecosystems. Read more
PhD Degrees in the Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering
Our interdisciplinary approach to research, encompassing the fields of Architectural History and Theory, Architectural and Structural Conservation, Lightweight Structures, Hydraulics and Earthquake Engineering and Dynamics and Climate Resilience of the Built Environment. Read more
MPhil opportunity: Development of a water quality model for predicting indicators of Harmful Algal Blooms in coastal waters
The Master research study will be conducted as part of the Artificial Intelligence-powered Forecast for Harmful Algal Blooms (AIHABs) project funded under the EU Aquatic Pollutants Joint Transnational Call 2020 (. Read more
NERC GW4+ DTP PhD project: Composite Beaches - Can we protect our coastlines by mimicking nature?
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the NERC Great Western Four+ Doctoral Training Partnership (GW4+ DTP) for entry in October 2022. Read more
Contaminant behaviour during seawater attack on legacy coastal wastes.
The UK has a large legacy of waste disposal from both industrial and municipal sources. In the past much of this was disposed of with little thought about any potential environmental impacts, therefore these wastes can release contaminants into the surrounding environments. Read more
NERC-funded PhD studentships: Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Materials and Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London
The Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet (SSCP) Doctoral Training Partnership integrates six host partners and several business and policy sector partners, to offer an exciting programme that trains and inspires the next generation of environmental experts and leaders to address some of the toughest challenges of our time.

Controls on sub-arctic coastal zone dynamics, Skeiðarársandur, SE Iceland (OP2250)
Background. Climate change is driving rapid changes in sub-arctic glacier fed coastal systems worldwide, resulting in concomitant changes in proglacial topography and sediment flux. Read more
