Vegetation-based climate change adaptation measures for earth infrastructure
Climate change will affect the performance of existing earth infrastructure. Read more
Micro-Bio-Mechanical Modelling of root growth in soils
The extent and the way roots grow in the ground is known to have a fundamental impact on the growth of crop plants as well as on the resistance to lodging induced by storms. Read more
Unravelling the true climate effect of peatland restoration
This is an exciting project, linking science to policy, and with lots of fieldwork, including the option to do some sampling in Sweden. Read more
Disentangling land use and climatic roles in sediment delivery to upland British lakes
Changes to agricultural land use practices and climate represent serious challenges to the future management of rural landscapes, as humans have dramatically altered the European landscape over thousands of years. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: How are changing environments on our farms driving antifungal resistance in clinical fungal pathogens?
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
Nonequilibrium two-phase flow in disordered media: Memory, hysteresis and energy dissipation
The displacement of a fluid by another in a disordered porous material, for example migration of water and gases in soils and rocks, is often out-of-equilibrium. Read more

THE ROLE OF REWILDING IN RESTORATION: SOIL MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS
The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (HIE) is offering a research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to work on a project focussed on the role of rewilding in restoring soil microbial biodiversity and their functions. Read more

Simulating soil waterlogging: Designing multiple pathways to resilience in soil waterlogging stress
Soil waterlogging has caused severe impacts in agricultural production in the high rainfall zones of Australia. Robust projections of waterlogging impacts on crop growth underpinned by process-based models are fundamental in the quest to design effective adaptations. Read more

Simulating soil carbon: Next generation artificial intelligence for quantum gains in soil carbon
Soil carbon sequestration has tremendous potential to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Read more
The influence of particle characteristics on the field-scale geomechanical behaviour of soils
It is well recognised that many geotechnical phenomena, such as liquefaction, crushing, dissolution effects and failure are affected by macro-scale properties such as initial density, anisotropy, permeability and compressibility, amongst others. Read more
Unsaturated soil hydrology – Soil water retention technology for agricultural production improvement
WATER retention and nutrient recycling in soils and streams for improved AGRIcultural production (WATERAGRI) is a H2020 Research and Innovation project that aims to re-introduce and enhance sustainable solutions for water retention and nutrient recycling to enable agricultural production that can sustain growing populations and cope with present and future climate change challenges. Read more
Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture
Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more
High dimensional modelling of environmental conditions for large scale solar
Equity and Diversity at UNSW. “UNSW was one of the first cohort of research and higher education institutions in Australia to receive Bronze Athena Swan accreditation in 2018. Read more
