Project background. Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) involves the removal of atmospheric CO2 during silicate weathering of fine-grained basalt, which is spread on agricultural land. Read more
Context. The UK has been generating electricity from nuclear power for over sixty years. Consequently, the safe disposal of the UK’s existing ~750,000 m3 of radioactive waste is a clear priority. Read more
This is an EPSRC Industrial Cooperative Awards in Science & Engineering (ICASE) training grant, with industrial partner Schlumberger Cambridge Research Limited. Read more
One of most important engineering challenges of our generation is to ensure our infrastructure network is resilient to today's natural hazards and prepared for the future changing climate. Read more
Clinoforms are inclined stratigraphic surfaces that encompass rounded sedimentary bodies which build out from shallow to deeper water environments. Read more
The Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Manchester is looking for a highly motivated student to undertake an exciting PhD project on fractured/veined rocks. Read more
Project overview. Minerals play a pivotal role in shaping Earth's biogeochemical cycles, exerting control over the mobility, speciation and (bio)availability of key nutrients, pollutants and technology-critical elements. Read more
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
The Vaiont landslide occurred in 1963 in northern Italy and has perplexed researchers ever since. Recently, however, new geological information and interpretations have led to an entirely new framework for understanding the event. Read more
Society’s race to net zero emissions of CO2 will invariably involve the use of subsurface reservoirs. Fluids injected and extracted from deep fracture systems beneath volcanoes provide a source of geothermal energy. Read more
