We have 65 Marine Sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Southampton
Remote sensing of Arctic Sea ice from seismo-acoustic observations with autonomous underwater vehicles
Project overview. Sea ice is vital for global climate, and coverage is reducing with global warming; Current sea-ice thickness measurements have large uncertainties. Read more
Pump it down - Tracking Carbon in the Labrador Sea’s Climate-Critical Ecosystem
Project overview. You will investigate a key process for ocean carbon storage – sinking particles – in a region identified as climate-system tipping point. Read more
Antarctic biogeochemical changes in response to mixing by internal tsunamis
Project overview. Calving glaciers generate internal tsunamis in the surface ocean mixed layer, a phenomenon accelerating with climate change. Read more
How will macroalgae sinking to reduce atmospheric CO2 impact seafloor organisms?
Project overview. Climate change has focused attention onto whether atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations may be lowered by direct intervention. Read more
Smart integration of geotechnical and geophysical parameters across kilometre-scale offshore wind farms
Project overview. Geoscience plays a pivotal role in delivering offshore wind power. The aim of this project is to optimise the characterisation of the seabed over kilometre-scale offshore wind farms at the accuracy required. Read more
Blowing in the wind. Tracing the transport of diatoms to Antarctic ice cores
Project overview . The Westerly Winds are among the main drivers of climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere. This PhD will contribute to the development of a novel Antarctic ice core proxy for reconstructing past westerly wind changes. Read more
Keeping up with ocean change: Using robots to push the envelope in ocean carbon observing
Project overview. Ocean robots (sensors and vehicles) can offer the spatial and temporal coverage required to observe ocean acidification and the rapidly changing carbon cycle. Read more
From carbon cycling to microstructure: echinoderms as a control on global climate and ocean biogeochemistry
Project overview . Sea urchins and the echinoderms more broadly probably biomineralise as much calcium carbonate as coral reefs, although they have received a fraction of the attention. Read more
It’s getting hot in here – coral-based reconstructions of ocean warming
Project overview. The upper ocean has warmed by ~1oC since pre-industrial times. However, sea surface temperature measurements before the 1980s carry considerable uncertainty. Read more
Impact of Submarine Burial Environments on the Power Flow of High Voltage Cables
Research Group:
Electrical Power Engineering
As a research project within the Doctoral Centre for Advanced Electrical Power Engineering this project will investigate the impact of heterogeneous burial environments on the power flow capacity of high voltage submarine cables. . Read more
Evaluating the Nature-based solutions for Coastal Resilience and Effectiveness (ENCORE)
The Leverhulme PhD Programme for Interdisciplinary Resilience Studies is administered by the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences. Read more
Tackling the geotechnical challenges of floating offshore wind
Co-Supervisor. Professor Susan Gourvenec. Join the UK-wide Offshore Renewable Energy Supergen Hub project, and contribute to the geotechnical engineering of floating offshore wind. Read more
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Strategic Maritime Operations
This research project will explore how AI can be strategically integrated into maritime operations to enhance decision-making, improve operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and mitigate risks associated with navigation, logistics, and sustainability. . Read more

Is carbon dioxide release from sedimentary rocks a missing driver of geological climate change?
This multi-disciplinary project will combine state-of-the-art organic geochemistry and Earth system modelling to study rock organic carbon oxidation in past environments. Read more
Polar amplification of climate change
Project overview. Polar amplification¾where enhanced warming in polar regions outpaces global temperature change¾is poorly understood. Read more
