Assessment of Thermo-hydro-mechanical Response of Geo-Interfaces towards Energy Independence
Space heating and cooling is the world's largest energy sector, responsible for 50% of the final energy consumption and 30% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Read more
GREENCDT Evolution of properties of clay and mudstone rocks governing fluid flow in an Excavation Disturbed Zone around a geological disposal site for nuclear waste storage
The excavation disturbed zone (EDZ) is a zone of rock that has experienced enhanced stress relative to the ambient far-field stress field. Read more
From shallow geothermal energy systems to our buildings: The role of thermal conductivity for heat transfer and energy efficiency
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-MS. Space heating and cooling currently makes up the world's largest energy sector, accounting for approximately 50% of the final energy consumption. This figure is expected to grow rapidly over the coming decades due to economic and population growth, and inevitable increase in urbanisation. Read more
Multi-method field stiffness characterisation for offshore wind turbine foundation design
The School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting PhD project entitled ‘Multi-method field stiffness characterisation for offshore wind turbine foundation design’ within the Infrastructure and Environment Division. Read more

Advanced geophysical multi-sensor data inversion and integration into GIS
Although we have significantly improved our ability to map and monitor overground objects, our ability to detect and locate buried objects has not improved much in the last 20 years. Read more
Revealing the subsurface - Creation of real-time gravity maps for engineering targets
In 1500 Leonardo Da Vinci stated that we know more about the stars above us than the ground beneath our feet. That is as true today as it was then. Read more
Industry-linked PhD Studentship: Investigation of Suction Caisson Behaviour under Pressure Cycling
A full 4-year scholarship is available for a PhD student to conduct research on the behaviour of suction caisson foundations under pressure cycling installation. Read more
Robust Optimisation of Stormwater Treatment Devices using CFD Simulation
Project Description. The project will focus on robust optimisation of the geometry of stormwater treatment devices using a combination of Bayesian optimisation and CFD simulation. Read more
Nonequilibrium two-phase flow in disordered media: Memory, hysteresis and energy dissipation
The displacement of a fluid by another in a disordered porous material, for example migration of water and gases in soils and rocks, is often out-of-equilibrium. Read more
Optimizing the social impact of civil engineering projects
Large civil engineering projects alter the environment and can affect the community around them. For example, a big industrial block that would occupy previously green land (e.g. Read more
Multiphase flow in responsive media: Hydrate formation in Carbon Geosequestration
This interdisciplinary project aims to improve understanding of the physics underlying hydrate formation in porous media during carbon geosequestration. Read more
