Mineralogical and Structural Controls on Lithium Distribution and Extraction
The project aims to investigate the factors that influence lithium mobility and concentration in granite-hosted systems. The project will focus on understanding how lithium is dist...

Details to be completed when the student submits their project details in March 2025.
The dynamics and thermodynamics of convectively coupled equatorial waves
Scientific background (the wider context; why the project is important and timely)Extreme weather in the tropics is often linked with organised weather systems such as the well-kno...
Hazardous Mediterranean cyclones in the current and future climate
Mediterranean cyclones are far less understood than cyclones over major ocean basins yet can lead to devastating socio-economic impacts. The processes often associated with their c...
The Composition and Evolution of the Earth's Mantle
The Earth's mantle is its largest geochemical reservoir, and the source of the vast majority of its volcanism. Hence, establishing the composition of the mantle and understand...
Archaeogenomic investigation of stratified domestication of maize in South America
Maize was domesticated around 9,000-years ago in the Balsas region of Mesoamerica, whereupon it spread to both South and North America.Recent ground-breaking research in this group...
NSFGEO-NERC: Advancing capabilities to model ultra-low velocity zone properties through full waveform Bayesian inversion and geodynamic modeling
Ultra-Low Velocity Zones (ULVZs) are structures with strongly reduced seismic velocities at Earth's core-mantle boundary (CMB) which have been associated with or linked to hot...
Reconstructing 30 million years of past climate change (CENTA 2024-OU2)
Climate is a critical driver for the evolution and extinction of species, and existing patterns of terrestrial biodiversity can only be fully explained through the effects of clima...
Developing a new high-resolution reconstruction of the Younger Dryas ice cap in Scotland
Details to be completed when the student submits their project details in March 2025.
Vectors on Heat Islands: Assessing Urbanisation and Microclimatic Effects on Mosquito-borne Disease Risks
Vectors on Heat Islands: Assessing Urbanisation and Microclimatic Effects on Mosquito-borne Disease Risks
Can habitat restoration deliver effective mitigation for marine and estuarine fish?
Numerous restoration projects are currently seeking to reverse losses of seagrass, saltmarsh and other coastal habitats. These habitats are considered to be important nurseries for...
Are lianas driving a trade-off between carbon and biodiversity in tropical forests?
This student-led project aims to determine whether lianas drive a trade-off between carbon uptake and biodiversity in tropical forests. Tropical forests store and sequester large a...
Native versus non-native: selection of tree species for a sustainable urban forest
Urban trees provide critical environmental and socio-cultural benefits to city dwellers. In recognition of their importance to sustainable cities and communities, there is a global...
Suppression of air pollution via aerosol mediated removal of peroxy radicals
Air quality is an acute societal concern with around 7 million people dying per year from the combined effect of outdoor and indoor air pollution. Ozone (O3) is a harmful pollutant...
The Pelican Brief: using environmental archives to establish ecological baselines for UK wetland biodiversity restoration
The UK is among the world's most nature-depleted countries,1 and species reintroductions and rewilding are increasingly seen as a means of restoring natural landscapes. Freshw...
Exploring seafloor hydrothermal systems with novel high resolution mineral mapping
Global geochemical cycles are fundamental to the Earth system; where, when, and how much elements are cycled through the Earth underpins a broad range of science, including our und...
A traits-based approach to predicting and mitigating the impacts of a devastating amphibian pathogen under climate change
Globalisation and climate change drive pathogen emergences that threaten global biodiversity. Pathogens exhibit variation in their ability to infect, replicate, and transmit, but w...
Develop a sustainable artificial reef system
The SCENARIO DTP PhD project will develop a sustainable artificial reef system, introducing an innovative concept of nature-inclusive solution to coastal erosion through a combinat...
Understanding the legacy of Cenozoic climates to better inform future forest conservation and management strategies
Understanding how individual plant taxa will respond to climate change is critical for conserving biodiversity. This is especially true for trees with relict distributions, vulnera...
The socio-ecological importance of elasmobranchs to coastal communities in a changing climate
Recreational, charter boat and commercial fishers (herein referred to as "fishers") have shaped the fabric of coastal life in Wales, with many still reliant on el...
