Humid heat extremes in the Global (sub)Tropics (H2X)
Humid heat is a serious risk to human health, reducing the body's ability to cool itself through sweating. The impact on humans will increase under climate change, particularly in...
ConstrAining the RolE of Sulfur in the earth system (CARES)
The marine sulfur cycle is an exemplar of a climatically important biogeochemical cycle within the Earth system (initially described by the CLAW hypothesis). Marine sulfate aerosol...
Controls on precious and critical metal enrichment in VMS deposits of the Caledonian-Appalachian orogen
This project will investigate regional to intra-deposit controls on precious and critical metal enrichment within volcanogenic massive sulfide {VMS) deposits of the Caledonian-Appa...
Electricity capacity risk assessment and procurement against a background of uncertain climate

Mechanisms and implications of climateinduced shrub expansion in the Arctic
This project investigates the role of mycorrhizal fungi in climate change-induced shrub expansion in the Arctic. The PhD research involves cross-site data synthesis and site-specif...
Towards Maximum Feasible Reduction in Aerosol Forcing Uncertainty (Aerosol-MFR)
For several decades, large uncertainties have persistently affected model predictions of how the atmosphere and climate behaves, evolves and responds to changes, severely limiting...
Essential Scientific Computing for Environmental Scientists 2 (ESCES2)
Doctoral Training Partnerships: a range of postgraduate training is funded by the Research Councils. For information on current funding routes, see the common terminology at https:...
Bubble Exchange in the Labrador Sea - 2023
The focus of this project is to understand how bubbles formed by breaking waves at sea can help the ocean breathe. The ocean and atmosphere are connected at the ocean surface, and...
Assessing the principal ecological strategies of trees in African woodlands and their implications for ecosystem dynamics and functionality
The student will collect field data from three different woodland types in Angola and Namibia, which will enable the first synthesis on ecological strategies of tree species in Afr...

Predicting Adaptive potential from genomic detail and its implications for conservation
The adaptive potential of populations need to be preserved if organisms are to cope with a changing world. The project will assess and develop methods for inferring adaptive potent...
Greenland ice marginal lake evolution as a driver of ice sheet change - how important are rising lake temperatures?
Are ice-sheet marginal lakes an emerging major driver of Greenland Ice Sheet margin change? Over the past 50 years, the Arctic has warmed at more than twice the global rate and it...
Morphological evolution and the Cambrian Explosion - a 550 million year view
The diversity of living animals can be placed into about 30 groups called phyla, a term that refers to the possession of a distinct body plan. All these body plans first appear in...
Riverine "forever chemicals": utilizing citizen science to support nature-based solutions in rural catchments
The EU Water Framework Directive had an ambitious target to ensure all freshwater bodies achieved 'good' chemical status by 2015. However, by 2020, just 38% of rivers across the EU...
The effects of multiple stressors on waterbirds in the Flow Country
The Flow Country in northern Scotland is an internationally important peatland supporting an incredibly diverse waterbird community, proposed as the world's first peatland world he...
Metacommunity dynamics, land-use strategies, and ecosystem services
Natural ecosystems are increasingly fragmented, with remaining patches separated by farmland, urban areas, roads, and other anthropogenic land uses. These changes have profound con...
The fingerprint of environmental change in the fluvial-aeolian sedimentary record
Desert aeolian sedimentary systems are sensitive to changes in a wide range of environmental variables, including climate, sea level, sediment supply and tectonic factors. As such,...
Quantification and Mitigation of Agricultural Methane Emissions
Global atmospheric methane concentrations are at record levels and continue to rise. The Global Methane Pledge has now been signed by 150 countries, who have pledged to cut global...
What Controls Recurrent Growth & Collapse Cycles of Large Oceanic Volcanoes - The Case of Tope De Coroa, Cape Verde
The aim of this PhD project is to investigate the factors that lead and control the recurrent cycles of growth and destruction, on a small spatial scale, of prominent ocean island...
Multidisciplinary optimisation of wind farms through experiments and data-driven modelling
This project will address two main challenges related to wind power generation. The first challenge concerns the deployment of wind turbines in a wide range of environments due to...
