How polluted is our World? Investigating air pollutant long-range transport using state-of-the-art geostationary satellite constellations and chemistry transport modelling!
Poor air quality is one of the largest environmental stresses on human health (Cohen et al., 2017) and most severely impacts on countries with large dense populations and intense industrial/economic activities. Read more
Natural and human effects on clouds and climate over the ocean
Aim of the PhD project. This PhD project aims to improve our understanding of how emissions of natural and pollutant aerosol particles over marine regions affects climate. Read more
A Machine-Learning approach to understanding and predicting the East African Long Rains
The East African Long Rains (March-May) are of vital importance to food security in East Africa. Agriculture in the region is largely rain-fed, and the performance of the long rains influences the availability and affordability of food in the region. Read more
Exploring Biogenic Emissions and Air Quality Impacts from Climate-Resilient UK Woodlands: Insights from Gair Wood
In June 2019, the UK Government passed legislation that commits the nation to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050. Read more
Exploring how industrial aerosol particles create ice in clouds and alter climate?
Over the last few years it has become increasingly clear that atmospheric ice-nucleating particles (INPs) play a pivotal role in clouds and climate. … Read more
Ice speed & Artificial Intelligence (AI): Using satellite data and machine learning methods to detect change on the Greenland Ice Sheet
Global sea level rise and the associated flood and coastal realignment that accompanies it, is recognized as posing the greatest climate change risk to the UK and coastlines around the world. Read more
Imaging 3-D deformation from space, for volcanoes and earthquake-prone regions
This project aims to take advantage of a new satellite mission to extract 3-D displacement maps for volcanoes and slowly-deforming tectonic regions, by combining the new data with data from existing missions. Read more
Do Heatwaves Increase Rock Fall Hazard ?
Project Summary. The southwest coast of Dorset is one of the most landslide-active regions in the UK. Coastal processes, including wave erosion, rainfall, and temperature variations may all contribute to increased rock fall activity along coastal cliffs. Read more
ACCE+ Studentship - The importance of land-atmosphere interactions for water resources in the Andes-Amazon transitional region
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Assessing the role of upland fires in air pollution and public health in the UK
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
Cryospheric and hydrological responses to a warming High Mountain Asia
Summary. This project investigates the impact of a warming climate by mapping the rate the ice loss across High Mountain Asia and analysing its impact on water sustainability and flood risk in the downstream. Read more
Quantifying reciprocal ecological flows across riparian zones - PhD
This PhD studentship covers fees and stipend for a home (UK) student to conduct new research on ecological flows between land and water through riparian zones. Read more
Understanding reproductive success to evaluate the impact of global warming on Andean trees.
Background. Tropical forests are among Earth’s most vital ecosystems in terms of carbon storage, climate regulation, and biodiversity, but their response to climate change remains deeply uncertain. Read more
Monitoring Scotland’s fresh waters from space: re-engineering the state-of-art using artificial intelligence
Scotland’s freshwater ecosystems are under significant pressure from a range of stressors including inputs of diffuse pollution from agriculture, wastewater spillages from combined sewer outflows, and the increasing occurrence of hydroclimatic extremes (Marsden & Mackay, 2001). Read more
Gaming/Gambling Harms and Inequalities: The Experiences of Diverse and Marginalised Communities (Ref: YGAM-25-LU)
The PhD will take a social sciences approach to examine underlying social and economic inequalities potentially leading to gaming/gambling harm, with a specific focus on diverse and marginalized groups. Read more
