We have 53 Soil Science PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Non-European Students in the UK
Project at Cranfield University: Evaluating suitability of graphitic carbon from methane cracking to improve soil nutrient retention for crop uptake
Methane is a potent greenhouse (GHG) with a half-life shorter than CO. 2. and can oxidise to form CO. 2. Minimising methane emission by converting it to hydrogen and carbon (C) will reduce CO. Read more
Surveillance of the environment: monitoring ecological restoration and biodiversity in the Scottish uplands using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Supervisors. Ian Lawson (University of St Andrews). Richard Streeter (University of St Andrews). Sarah Watts (Corrour Estate). Kirstie Ball (University of St Andrews). Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Awakening the dormant soil microbiome
Healthy and productive soils are foundational for agriculture. In turn, the microbial communities of soil are critical determinants and indicators of soil health. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Mapping the farm-scape of antibiotic resistance: metagenomes, antibiotic resistance genes, and mobile genetic elements
Antibiotic resistance poses a significant risk to human health, as the effectiveness of antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections is increasingly compromised. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Biochar Interventions to Improve Soil Health Under Oil Palm : Ensuring Agronomic and Environmental Sustainability of the Fastest Expanding Equatorial Crop
Oil-palm is the most productive oil crop in the world, capable of serving both human food and energy needs. Alarmingly though, land conversion to oil-palm is associated with biodiversity loss, regionally significant fire, toxic-haze and GHG emissions. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Optimising above and belowground ecosystem services for sustainable crop production
UK agriculture could play a central role in reaching NET ZERO by 2050 and halting biodiversity loss. Agriculture is a significant contributor to UK emissions (10%), and intensive farming practices and habitat loss are key drivers of species declines. Read more
PhD project at University of Reading: Beyond nitrogen and the nodule: How rhizobial trait diversity enhances crops, soil and environmental health
The global demand for food is set to double by 2050, creating an urgent need for sustainable farming solutions. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Novel transition pathways to regenerative agriculture
Current food production systems are major contributors to climate change and biodiversity loss. To create a sustainable future, farming practices must adapt to enhance nature, reduce environmental impact, and ensure resilient food supply chains. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Translocation pathways of gadolinium from wastewater into the food chain: accumulation, distribution and speciation in crops
The use of rare earth elements (REE) has dramatically increased over the last 30 years, due to their extensive use in technological equipment and in medical applications. Read more
Project at University of Lincoln: Revealing the potential of Organo-Mineral Fertilisers to enhance crop productivity, as well as improve soil health and sustainability.
The UK imports a significant amount of unsustainably mined phosphorus, with low deployment efficiency leading to environmental issues like eutrophication. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: Multi-omics analysis of nitrogen metabolism by the soil microbial community
This is a bioinformatics project aiming to develop new tools to analyse multi-omics long-reads sequencing data, for a better understanding of nitrogen metabolism in soil. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: Greenhouse gas removal using plants and soil: enhanced rock weathering on land
Project description. Achieving net zero emissions of greenhouse gases requires dramatic reductions in emissions, particularly of CO2. Read more
