Back to the Future: Ice sheet collapse, ocean circulation slowdown and abrupt climate change
Background. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning circulation (AMOC) – a large-scale system of ocean currents – is critical for keeping North American and European climates mild. Read more
Protecting UK infrastructure from landslides triggered by climate extremes
Background. Landslides impact the railway network on average three times per week, and their frequency has increased by >50% in the last ten years. 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
Millennia of sea-level rise awaits: Quantifying spatial uncertainty
Background. Sea-level rise presents one of the greatest environmental challenges for the global community. However, there is deep uncertainty in future projections beyond 2100. Read more
Understanding uncertainties in the measurement and simulation of Antarctic ice sheet dynamics
Background. The Antarctic Ice Sheet is the largest reservoir of freshwater on Earth. If it were to melt entirely, global sea levels would rise by an average of 58 metres. Read more
Tectonics, sea-level change, and submarine landsliding in the South Caspian Basin
This project aims to determine the tectonic and sea-level history within and at the margins of the South Caspian Basin, in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, and the timings of major shelf collapse within the basin interior. Read more
Seismic noise sources and background seismicity in London
Local geology and seismic hazards are generally investigated through the analysis of seismic data. In urban environments, estimating back-ground seismicity and seismic imaging is complicated by high levels of anthropogenic seismic noise, i.e. Read more
Co-producing age-friendly and just indoor spaces: indoor environmental quality and Net Zero transitions
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
With the UK Government committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050, decarbonising the built environment is essential to meet these goals. Read more
Variability and future changes in European wind storm risk
Background. This project offered as part of https://unrisk-cdt.ac.uk/. European wind storms cause insured losses of around €1.4 billion per year. Read more
Reducing uncertainty in the effect of clouds on climate change
Background. Clouds are the cause of very substantial uncertainty in climate models and the reliability of climate projections. Read more
Hidden Ocean Forests: Understanding the Ecological and Physiological Properties of Phytoplankton in Subsurface Layers
Satellite sensors have provided an unprecedented view of changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll in the surface ocean. Yet in many ocean regions, from the poles to the tropics, the maximum concentration of chlorophyll occurs at depths which are invisible to earth-orbiting satellites. Read more
Earthquake and related hazards of the South Caucasus
The South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkiye) is a region prone to earthquake and related hazards, with an abundant record of earthquakes (e.g. Read more
Space-based water quality and light field prediction to support coastal aquaculture operations.
Aquaculture in coastal waters is critically dependent on water quality. Satellite remote sensing has the potential to provide water quality on unprecedented spatio-temporal scales but is currently hampered by fundamental limitations including atmospheric correction and algorithm failure in turbid waters.

Re-evaluating BOEM's Guidelines for Identifying Submerged Pre-Contact Archaeological Sites in the Gulf of Mexico: an Extensive Geoarchaeological Approach
Research Group:
Archaeological and Forensic Sciences
The Submerged Landscapes Research Centre at the University of Bradford is recruiting a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated PhD candidate to undertake research on the submerged archaeological landscapes of the Gulf of Mexico, U.S.A. Read more
How does climate change influence dynamics between saline and freshwater coastal wetlands?
This project is part of the NERC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, ECOWILD. For more details, and for a full list of projects offered under this programme, please visit. Read more
