CR2025_01: Understanding the risk of extreme U.S. winter weather
The United States is particularly vulnerable to extreme winter weather, and in February 2021, December 2022, and January 2024, the U.S. Read more
Using new high-resolution ensembles to quantify uncertainty in projections of African climate processes
Background. Global models underpinning future projections struggle to capture African weather and climate change, to a large extent because the convective storms that generate tropical rainfall are below their coarse grid scale and have to be parameterised. Read more
Innovative geomorphic approaches to support better management of flood risk and ecosystem health (Ref: FCDT-25-LU5)
Flood risk is controlled by both the hydrology and the physical shape and behaviour of a river and its floodplain (e.g., river type and behaviour; impacts of artificial modifications). Read more
Can the lifecycle of oak be adapted to coming climate change? (CENTA 2025-B25)
Oak (Quercus robur) is an ecological keystone tree species within the UK, with each tree a habitat for up to 200 other species (Mitchell et al., 2019). Read more
CR2025_49: EMBRACE - Examination of Mangrove Biodiversity, Resilience, and Adaptation for Climate and Ecosystems
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Sub-Saharan African countries face severe environmental and climate challenges directly impacting livelihoods and biodiversity. Read more

Implications of wetland creation for mosquito-borne disease risk
Wetlands are crucial habitats for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem integrity. However, newly constructed wetlands could have implications for mosquito communities and disease risk by increasing habitat availability. Read more

Modelling climate adaptation futures in the Arctic
One full scholarship is available in the School of Geography in 2025. This scholarship is open to UK applicants and covers fees plus maintenance, and associated fieldwork costs. Read more
Implications of diverse risk perceptions within and across coastal communities for adaptive capacity and community engagement.
This PhD is being advertised as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT). Further details about FLOOD-CDT can be seen here https://flood-cdt.ac.uk/. Read more
Predicting and Mitigating Megafires under Climate Change (JONES_UENV25ARIES)
Scientific Background. Megafires, characterised by their extraordinary size, speed, and intensity, are increasingly threatening society, ecosystems, and ecosystem services such as carbon storage (1-4). Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Habitat networks designed for all - ensuring climate-resilience for a wide diversity of species
Biodiversity is threatened by habitat degradation and fragmentation, which hampers the ability of species to successfully shift their ranges in response to climate change. Read more
Epistemology of weather and climate prediction: What certainty can we have in the future of our environment?
Background. This project will use mathematics, meteorology and philosophy to explore the epistemology of weather and climate prediction. Read more
Re-imagining energy retrofit and home adaptation to deliver safe and resilient homes during interconnected energy, health, housing and climate crises
Project ID. SS_19. Theme: Safety and Sustainability. The Ministry of Defence warns of cascading risks, including flooding and energy insecurity, leading to homelessness and increased civil unrest (MoJ, 2024). Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Improving power distribution network preparedness to severe weather events involving compound hazards now and in the future
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
