University of Birmingham PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 310 University of Birmingham PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

University of Birmingham

For more than a century, the University of Birmingham has been pursuing and sharing knowledge through outstanding teaching and research. As a founding Russell Group member and the original ‘redbrick’ university, our high-quality teaching will help you take your career to the next level. We are of the country’s most consistently sought-after universities by the UK’s top graduate employers, and have been for the last decade. With a wealth of opportunities to choose from across study and research, Birmingham has one of the most extensive postgraduate course portfolios in the UK. Hosting an international community of more than 8000 staff and 38,000 students, you’ll work alongside world-leading academics in a diverse community.

CENTA 2027-B16 Ozone + BVOC Chemistry: From Critical Rate Coefficients to Atmospheric Mechanisms

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Atmospheric chemical processing determines the link between emissions to the air and atmospheric composition, which in turn affects climate and health. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Lehman

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-UKCEH01 HInterMap: drone-based mapping to improve monitoring and understanding of headwater and intermittent streams

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Intermittent streams (c. 50% of world rivers) and headwaters (c. 90% of rivers) are key riverine systems for hydrology, ecology and water quality, which are poorly monitored and lack data (Dugdale et al. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C L Laize

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B35 Go with the flow? Guiding sustainable dam flow releases to simultaneously promote ecological health and water security

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

There are >3000 dams in the UK that provide >75% of national public drinking water supplies (1). These unnaturally transform river flow regimes, where typically fixed ‘compensation flows’ are released for most the year except when reservoir spillovers cause rapid downstream flushes. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J W White

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B34 Extreme climatic events in a warming world: understanding limits to resilience in freshwater ecosystems

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Across the globe, extreme climatic events such as heatwaves and droughts have increased dramatically in frequency and intensity over the past 30 years, with potentially profound consequences for freshwater ecosystems. Read more

Supervisor: Prof M E Ledger

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B33 When does snow matter? Looking at the sensitivity of river flow to a warming climate

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Snow acts as a natural seasonal reservoir across many regions of the world. Water that falls as snow can be stored through winter and often released later during spring and summer, sustaining river flows, ecosystems, hydropower and water supplies. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Larsen

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B32 The third (plastic) pole – Microplastic accumulation and release within remote, snow-dominated environments

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Environmental plastic pollution is now ubiquitous globally, with high concentrations detected in indoor and outdoor environments that are of increasing concern for human and environmental health1,2. Read more

Supervisor: Prof S Krause

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B31 REWET-FIRE: Does peatland rewetting reduce extreme wildfire risk during drought?

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Peatlands are among the UK’s most important carbon stores. However, many peatlands have been degraded, leaving them vulnerable to drought and wildfire. Read more

Supervisor: Dr N Kettridge

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B30 Global exposure of critical infrastructure to wildfire

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Wildfire poses a growing threat to critical infrastructure, with consequences extending well beyond the burned area. Fires can damage electricity generation and transmission networks, disrupt rail and road systems and threaten data centres and drinking-water catchments. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Jones

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B29 Hot or not? Modelling river temperature dynamics to support restoration interventions along iconic chalk watercourses

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Climate change is exacerbating high river water temperature extremes by increasing energy (heat) inputs and drought (low flow) severities (1), which has significant implications for nature and people (2,3). Read more

Supervisor: Prof D M Hannah

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B28 AI-Enhanced Global Hydrological Modelling for Assessing UK Water Security Threats

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Global hydrology models (GHMs) play a crucial role in understanding threats to water security. Their global remit means they can be used to assess transboundary impacts from water security crises, e.g. Read more

Supervisor: Prof S Gosling

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B27 Mangroves in a changing climate: how increasing salinity alters carbon gain and water use

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Climate change is accelerating sea-level rise, increasing saltwater intrusion into coastal wetlands and exposing mangrove ecosystems to increasingly saline conditions (Acosta-Motos et al., 2017; Dessu et al., 2018). Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Gauthey

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B26 Thermal sensitivity of West African tropical moist forests

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Global air temperatures and the occurrence of heatwaves are increasing and set to continue over the coming century. Plant physiological processes such as photosynthesis are highly temperature sensitive and therefore there are significant potential consequences of climate change for plant function. Read more

Supervisor: Dr SF Fauset

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B25 Which floodplains are the most important? Characterising global connectivity between rivers and their flood corridors

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

When river flow is high enough to exceed the banks of its channels, it inundates the floodplain. Integrated over entire catchments, so-called river-floodplain exchange impacts a significant amount of the flow moving through river basins, carrying sediments, nutrients, and other materials. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C Brinkerhoff

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B24 Reconstructing Plio-Pleistocene Ice-Sheet Evolution in the North Sea Basin Using Paleomagnetism and Magnetic Fabric

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

IODP Expedition 507 (GLACE-NS) running in June-July 2027 will recover a unique Plio-Pleistocene sedimentary archive from the North Sea Basin (NSB), providing an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the onset, evolution, and variability of Northern Hemisphere glaciation and its links to environmental and oceanographic change. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C T Stevenson

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

CENTA 2027-B23 Functional morphology and ecology of the Pleistocene mammal fauna of Crete
