Depositional and diagenetic controls on fluid flow in fractures in a potential Geological Disposal Facility in the Mercia Mudstone Group, UK
Objective. The main objective of this PhD project is to develop an understanding of the depositional and diagenetic heterogeneity in the Mercia Mudstone Group and their implications for fluid flow in fracture networks at depth. Read more
Early Warning Signs of Abrupt Climate Change: Annual-scale isotopic analysis of Holocene climate events
There is increasing concern that as the world warms the climate system may move across a series of thresholds and tipping points and experience abrupt change. Read more
A New Generation of Dam Assessment: An Artificial Intelligence Approach
A significant number of dams are in service to supply domestic and industrial water, generate hydroelectric power as well as control flood effects on the society they serve. Read more
PhD studentship in Environmental Engineering: Building water treatment infrastructure resilience to climate change-induced changes in freshwater sulphate concentrations
Overview. This exciting . WIRe CDT. project, in collaboration with . Northumbrian Water,. Read more
PhD Studentship in Geoscience: Mechanochemical-UV generation of perchlorates and reactive nitrogen on Mars (funded by the UK Space Agency)
Overview. Interested in understanding the past and present habitability of Mars? This PhD will investigate the mechanisms and rates of perchlorate and nitrate generation on Mars, linking to past and future in situ measurements on the Martian surface. Read more
PhD in Cosmic Landscapes: disambiguating cosmogenic nuclides in detrital populations
The most common way to estimate the erosion rate at the landscape scale is to calculate the mean residence time of sediment in a river basin by measuring the accumulation of cosmogenic nuclides (rare isotopes formed in the near surface due to the bombardment of cosmic radiation) within the modern river sediment.

Timing is critical: improving our understanding of global landslide risk
Background. Landslides that reach catastrophic failure cause extensive damage to global infrastructure every year, as well as a high number of casualties. Read more
EPSRC/NNL - Upscaling fundamental controls on fluid migration in the Mercia Mudstone Group based on 3D multi-scale imaging and modelling
Objective. The main objective of this PhD project is to better understand and upscale the fundamental controls on fluid migration in the Mercia Mudstone Group based on 3D multi-scale imaging, modelling of large 3D data sets, and the application of machine learning approaches. Read more

An isotope-based approach to quantifying carbon burial in the Proterozoic ocean
Project background. The burial of organic matter in the ocean is a major component of the global carbon cycle, which impacts on global climate. Read more
Depositional controls on subsurface architecture in reservoirs and repositories: A reservoir modelling study. SAFARI5
The SAFARI project is a Joint Industry Project which has been running for 14 years which is starting it’s fifth phase. The overall goal of SAFARI is to facilitate access to geological analogue data for improved understanding of subsurface reservoir and repositories. Read more
From outcrop to subsurface – generation and application of synthetic well logs - SAFARI5
The SAFARI project is a Joint Industry Project which has been running for 14 years which is starting it’s fifth phase. The overall goal of SAFARI is to facilitate access to geological analogue data for improved understanding of subsurface reservoir and repositories. Read more
Multi-scale characterisation of the subsurface system for decarbonation energy (Digital Rock Manchester)
The subsurface system can act as a large-scale, low-cost and safe system for huge storage for either energy or waste, which provides provide important solutions to carbon management in order to tackle the global climate crisis and meet the Net-Zero target. Read more
Deep learning assisted imaging analysis and upscaling (Digital Rock Manchester)
Multi-scale and dynamic imaging techniques have been demonstrated to be one of the powerful tools in materials characterisation. However, the images cannot always satisfy the scientific of industrial requirement. Read more
